Indian Baptist group issues '10 commandments' for elections

One of India's Baptist churches has issued 10 commandments for voters ahead of elections for the northeastern Meghalaya state legislature scheduled for 3 March, reports Ecumenical News International. The commandments urge electors to vote for "able and dedicated" candidates of integrity and of good moral character, and caution church members against voting for self-seeking politicians who make empty promises. Church members are also told to keep away from free dinners hosted by the candidates, and also not to accept or seek money for voting for the contenders, some of whom sponsor church members' trips to church conventions. The commandments carry a dictum in a Christian spirit requesting voters not to make "any negative comments on the candidates you are not supporting and completely avoid any verbal duel or fights" with others.
