    Question

    Order of the Election Commission to cover statues of elephants being the election symbol of a political party, during an election period -

    A.

    Does not violate Article 25 of the Constitution

    B.

    Violates Article 25 of the Constitution

    C.

    Offends the Preamble of the Constitution

    D.

    Infringes Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution

    Correct option is A


    The Election Commission's order to cover the statues of elephants, which are the election symbol of a political party, during an election period does not violate Article 25 of the Constitution. Article 25 guarantees freedom of religion, but this order was issued to maintain electoral fairness and ensure neutrality during the election campaign.
    Information Booster:
    The Election Commission of India is empowered to take necessary steps to ensure free and fair elections. In this case, the order was intended to prevent any unfair advantage being gained from the display of symbols associated with political parties.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Article 25 guarantees the right to freedom of religion, but the Election Commission's order was unrelated to religious practices.
    · Article 19(1)(a) guarantees freedom of speech, but the order was within the scope of maintaining electoral integrity.
