How is the amount obtained from illegal scheme valid?
In the last six years, all political parties have received donations amounting to more than Rs 16 thousand crore through electoral bonds. The question arises that if the scheme is declared illegal and unconstitutional, then how can the amount received from it be considered valid, along with the Modi government, the election commission also needs to answer in this direction. In the scheme which was brought in the name of transparency, not even a single corner of transparency was created for the common citizens. This aspect has also been mentioned in detail in the order of the supreme Court.
Opposition parties also remain silent on the amount received from bonds
From the example of electoral bonds and Chandigarh, we can understand that fairness and transparency in the electoral system and process no longer matter much in the eyes of political parties and the government. If this had happened, then in the case of electoral bonds, the leaders of the opposition parties would have definitely agitated over the question as to how the money received from an illegal and unconstitutional scheme is valid. All the opposition parties consider it to be in their own best interests to remain silent on this matter.
What should have happened after the order of the supreme court is that a campaign should have been launched by the leaders of all the opposition parties for the return of the money received from the illegal bond scheme. However, regarding the return or recovery of funds, all the parties from the ruling party seem to be on the same side. The supreme court, on its part, had also expressed apprehension that companies and big businessmen may get favors from the ruling parties and governments through electoral bonds. After the names of donors became public in March, it should now also be investigated whether companies and big businessmen have received any benefit from the government or political parties by donating.
