What I stand for

हर दरवाज़े तक न्याय, हर नागरिक को सम्मान

These priorities come from more than four decades of public work. They will grow into detailed proposals shaped by conversations with citizens — tell us what matters to you.

01

Speedy justice for all

सबके लिए त्वरित न्याय

Courts closer to people, an end to anti-litigant strikes, and relief for undertrial prisoners waiting years for a hearing.

In 1984, as a young lawyer, Ashok Arora sat on an indefinite hunger strike for 84 hours until the Delhi High Court agreed to decentralise courts and bring justice closer to people’s doorsteps. He has consistently opposed lawyers’ strikes as anti-litigant, especially for poor prisoners languishing in jail.

Detailed policy positions coming soon.

02

Clean & accountable public life

स्वच्छ और जवाबदेह सार्वजनिक जीवन

No immunity for bribery. Elected representatives must answer to the law like every other citizen.

He publicly challenged the Supreme Court Constitution Bench interpretation of Article 105 that shielded Members of Parliament from prosecution for taking bribes in connection with their speeches or votes in Parliament, and argued in the gas-connection scam that MPs whose quotas were misused were the main culprits.

Detailed policy positions coming soon.

03

Citizens who know their duties

कर्तव्यनिष्ठ नागरिक

Making the Fundamental Duties of Article 51A a living part of education and public life.

Through hundreds of lectures to students, teachers, judges, the army and the police — and through his film Kasoor Kiska — he has campaigned for citizens to know and perform their Fundamental Duties under Article 51A of the Constitution.

Detailed policy positions coming soon.

04

A dignified life for every Indian

हर भारतीय के लिए सम्मानजनक जीवन

Real freedom means no one goes without a square meal, safety or a chance to succeed.

His current research, “Developing Citizenry for Real Freedom to Billions Suffering Undignified Life”, focuses on how a democracy can deliver real freedom to those still living without basic dignity.

Detailed policy positions coming soon.

05

Safety & justice for women

महिलाओं के लिए सुरक्षा और न्याय

Survivor support, sensitive institutions and fearless pursuit of justice in crimes against women.

He spoke out fearlessly after the trial-court acquittals in the Jessica Lal and Shivani Bhatnagar murder cases; the Jessica Lal acquittal was later reversed and the accused sentenced to life imprisonment. His film Kasoor Kiska deals with counselling of rape survivors and sensitising society towards them.

Detailed policy positions coming soon.

06

A voice for Indians abroad

प्रवासी भारतीयों की आवाज़

Connecting the global Indian diaspora with India's progress — and protecting NRI rights at home.

As President of NRI International Love All, he works to give Non-Resident Indians a stronger voice in matters of law, property and participation in India’s development.
