Ashok Lavasa Criticizes EC Legal Immunity

Ashok Lavasa Criticizes EC Legal Immunity

Ashok Lavasa, a former election commissioner, recently spoke about the importance of accountability in the Election Commission.

He criticized a new law that gives election commissioners special protection from court cases.

He said this protection is unusual and not given to other public servants.

Lavasa also talked about a process called the Summary of Electoral Roll (SIR), which removes voters' names if they don't submit a form.

He thinks this process is not fair and can be done in a simpler way.

Other speakers, like Maj.

Gen.

Anil Verma and K.C. Tyagi, also shared their views on these topics.
