In an exclusive conversation with NDTV's Vishnu Som, Senior Lawyer and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal described the allegations surrounding the Election Commission as a serious threat to democratic processes, arguing that alleged tampering with voters’ rights goes beyond a routine legal dispute. Sibal said a petition concerning the matter is already pending before the Supreme Court and noted that the court can seek relevant records. He also questioned the BJP’s defence of the Election Commission, maintaining that political parties should not intervene in matters concerning an independent constitutional institution.
