The writing is on the wall and it’s screaming from everywhere.
It’s not just time for the furor to go.
It’s time for him to go and to go in complete disgrace.

An independent Supreme Court worth its salt would take immediate suo motu cognizance of Indian Express report. There's nothing more central to Indian Constitution & democracy than fair & free elections. But Court has enabled fraud on electoral democracy. Indian democracy is dead

This must be done!
Lawyers Association For Constitution demands that the #SupremeCourt's orders referring the CEC Act challenge to the Constitution Bench, as well as giving interim relief to Noida DM Medha Roopam, be recalled in the light of reports that Justice Satish Chandra Sharma's son is a standing counsel for the Election Commission of India.
The Association demands that the matters be heard afresh by a bench in which Justice Sharma is not a member.
The Association also suggests a transparent protocol for disclosure by judges regarding any engagement of their close relatives by parties in the contest.

In what is being described by the opposition as the Modi government's "Masood Azhar moment" and its succumbing to international pressure, seven foreign nationals arrested in March, against whom the National Investigation Agency (NIA) did not invoke terrorism charges in a chargesheet earlier this month, have been granted bail to visit their families in Europe and the United States for a month.

One election commissioner said that changes to Form 6 was illegal. Another election commissioner said that the centralisation of voter list is wrong.
Godi media and BJP spokespersons saying nothing is wrong seem to know more about the law than the election commissioners themselves.
The Indian Express story has uncovered that one man runs the election commissioners of India a constitutional body as his personal fiefdom.
Instead of quoting ECI sources, the question everyone should ask is :
Where is Gyanesh Kumar ?
