India: legal battle after the abolition of the system of anonymous financing of political parties. The Supreme Court wants to end their anonymity, but the State Bank of India says it cannot provide the list of these donors.
Some accuse the bank of deliberately dragging out the procedure in the middle of the electoral campaign. The Union of Bank Employees, like most experts, considered the requested deadline unreasonable. It has now been three weeks since the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the anonymous party financing system, or Electoral Bonds, adopted in 2017.
