Section 61(1)(b): It provides that the a candidate for a head of LG seat must be Intermediate or equivalent. It is discriminatory, and presumes that illiterate or less literate persons are necessarily less qualified/ competent. Would it sustain judicial scrutiny? #PunjabLG2021
Section 61(2)(c): It bars persons from contesting elections, who have a contract to provide goods and services to the LG. It is unreasonably exclusionary. There exist other / better ways to address conflict of interest situations. @Noormengal_ @UsmanAKBuzdar #PunjabLG2021
