Election Commission
Whatever activities regarding elections take place in the EC that should not only be fair but also transparent so that people can be sure that the Commission is discharging its duties with total objectivity. The EC is not an organisation meant for carrying out secret government functions. Its only function is to hold elections in a fair and credible manner. So that nobody can accuse it of partisanship or malpractice.
But unfortunately, what do we see in the recent activities of the Commission as reported in the media is nothing short of farce. Since the Commission is still under the administrative control of the Prime Minister's Office, the latter cannot evade its responsibility in this regard.
We fail to understand why the government is playing the role of a silent spectator so far.
