Justices MB Lokur, AP Shah & N Ram Invite PM Narendra Modi & Rahul Gandhi To Public Debate On Lok Sabha Elections

Former Supreme Court judge Madan B Lokur, former High Court Chief Justice AP Shah and veteran journalist N Ram have invited  Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to a public debate on the LokSabha Election 2024.

In the invitation, they said that the members of public have heard only allegations and challenges from either side and have not heard any "meaningful response". Saying that today's digital world has a great propensity for misinformation, misrepresentation and manipulation, they underscored the importance of making the public well-educated about all aspects so that they can make an informed choice at the elections.

They expressed the belief that citizens would hugely benefit by hearing from the political leaders through a non-partisan and non-commercial platform.

"A public debate such as this would therefore set a great precedent not just by educating the public but also in projecting the true image of a healthy and vibrant democracy," stated the letter which was shared by Ram in his 'X' handle.
