evidence: - On March 28, an official reported that a case has been opened against Madhya Pradesh Congress MLA Veer Singh Bhuria for allegedly violating the model code of conduct. On March 26, the MLA incited people to "cut of the hands" of people from JAYS – a tribal organisation with pockets of influence in tribal dominated areas – and anyone trying to split the vote during the upcoming general elections. The MLA’s comments likely violate article 20 of the ICCPR, which prohibits incitement to discrimination and violence.
