Statement: Should persons convicted of criminal offences in the past be allowed to contest elections in India?
Arguments:
- No. Such persons cannot serve the cause of the people and country.

I agree on @Ali,
If it's democracy then let the people decide.
Democracy is popularly defined as the government of the people, by the people and for the people. So, I think argument II is also strong.
