In a letter sent to the election commission on Monday, secretary of MSCPCR, AN Tripathi has referred to newspaper clippings and other video footages available online where children are part of election rallies. "It appears that political parties are using children during roadshows, door-to-door campaigning and for other purposes. Young children are paraded during election meetings," said Tripathi in his letter.
This letter comes around the same time when a BJP candidate was caught on camera walking over some schoolchildren in Rajkot during a political function.
"Children don't have sufficient maturity to judge the nature and consequences of their conduct, therefore using children, even with their consent is against the law of land ... Using children in election work by political parties causes a child's mental and physical suffering which amount to violation of child rights and attract the penal provision under the Juvenile Justice Act and Indian Penal Code," stated the letter.
The letter requests the chief election commissioner to issue necessary instructions to concerned government authorities to ensure the safeguards of children and to initiate prohibiting measures so that children may not be used for election purposes.
