This video explores the constitutional framework aimed at maintaining the independence of institutions like the judiciary, Election Commission, and Public Service Commission. While retired Supreme Court judges face restrictions on practicing law in India, there are no clear rules on joining political parties or contesting elections after retirement, raising concerns about impartiality and conflicts of interest. The video discusses the implications of ex-officials venturing into politics, questioning governance and ethics. The absence of clear guidelines increases the risk of favoritism or perceived bias, posing a threat to democratic institutions' integrity. The Election Commission's proposal for a cooling-off period for retired bureaucrats before engaging in politics faced resistance, highlighting the challenges in balancing individual rights with institutional integrity. While some argue against a cooling-off period, citing democratic principles and individual rights, proponents believe it is necessary to maintain former officials' impartiality and integrity. The video concludes by emphasizing the need to balance democratic principles with institutional integrity, suggesting that proposals like a cooling-off period could enhance transparency and accountability in post-retirement political activities, ensuring the continued strength and legitimacy of democratic governance in India. #ExOfficialsInPolitics #ConstitutionalSafeguards #DemocraticGovernance #CoolingOffPeriod #InstitutionalIntegrity #EthicalGovernance #democracyinindia =========================================================== ✅TOP TRENDING PLAYLIST ✅NEWS THIS HOUR https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ✅Current News Videos (English) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ✅Current News Videos (Hindi) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ✅DHYEYA RADIO https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ✅DAILY MCQs https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ✅मुद्दा एक सवाल अनेक https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ✅ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ✅Paryawaran Aajkal youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFbq--M9Sx... ✅PERSON IN NEWS https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ✅सूचना कॉलोनी https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ✅शब्दांजलि https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... 👉 Dhyeya IAS (Website): https://www.dhyeyaias.com/ 👉 Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insightful geopolitical analyses and global affairs content.
