Remove Kejriwal Video With Kids In Campaign, NHRC Tells X

New Delhi: NHRC member Priyank Kanoongo on Monday directed social media platform ‘X’ to immediately remove an objectionable video showing the alleged involvement of children in political campaigning by AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi Chief Minister Atishi.

The NHRC member also drew the attention of CEC Rajiv Kumar to the issue and requested him to consider issuing guidelines to political parties to refrain from using children in political activities.

In separate letters written to the CEC and Vinay Prakash, Resident Grievances Officer, X, Kanoongo said the Commission is deeply concerned about the participation of children in political campaigning activities.

The Commission admitted that the Model Code of Conduct for the forthcoming Assembly elections in Delhi has not yet come into force but added that the development called for an immediate intervention.
