A groom in Karnataka has found himself in hot water after his wedding card became a subject of controversy due to its political message. The groom, in a show of support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, printed a tagline on the card that read, ‘The best present you will give the couple is electing Modi as PM once again.’
This tagline caught the attention of the Election Commission, which promptly filed an FIR against the groom. According to the Election Commission, the tagline violates the Model Code of Conduct, which prohibits the use of religious or political symbols or messages on election-related material.
The groom’s wedding card has sparked a debate on the role of politics in personal events. While some have criticized the groom for mixing politics with his wedding, others have defended his right to express his political views.
Regardless of the controversy, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to election laws and regulations. The Election Commission’s actions demonstrate that it is taking a proactive approach to ensure a fair and impartial electoral process.
