New Delhi: The Delhi High Court will hear a petition requesting to disqualify Prime Minister Narendra Modi from contesting elections for a period of six years. The plea, filed by lawyer Anand S Jondhale, accuses PM Modi of soliciting votes for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by invoking Hindu and Sikh deities and places of worship.

The petition calls for the Election Commission of India (ECI) to take action under the Representation of Peoples Act, urging PM Modi's disqualification and a prohibition on soliciting votes in the name of religious figures and sites.

The petitioner's grievance stems from PM Modi's speech delivered on April 9th in Uttar Pradesh, where he allegedly invoked Hindu and Sikh deities and made remarks favouring certain religious groups over others.

Jondhale contends that PM Modi's speeches have the potential to incite religious and caste-based animosity among voters, and thus calls for action in accordance with the Model Code of Conduct.

Earlier, Jondhale had lodged a complaint with the ECI, seeking the registration of an FIR against PM Modi under Section 153A of the Indian Penal Code and his disqualification from elections for six years. However, he claims that no action has been taken by the ECI on the matter thus far.
