Rahul Gandhi Doubles Down on Gyanesh Kumar: Ex-CEC Weighs In on EC vs Rahul Row

In a recent discussion, former Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi criticized the Election Commission’s handling of opposition concerns. He argued that while politicians often use strong rhetoric, the Commission must remain neutral and dignified, treating opposition leaders with seriousness rather than hostility. Quraishi stressed that dismissive responses and affidavit demands weaken public trust. He further highlighted the need for transparency in electoral rolls and cautioned against hasty revisions that risk undermining decades of work. According to him, the EC’s credibility depends on fairness and openness, not political sparring.
