Because a significant number of criminals are involved in wrongdoings in present era, the Election Commission, with Parliament's endorsement, must devise a framework to ensure that violence somehow doesn't play a function in politics. Furthermore, the judiciary one should site ensure that concerns involving ideological offenders are settled when they come before them.
