Attempt to weaken the three pillars of democracy: Kapil Sibal

Executive, legislature and judiciary are the three pillars of democracy, but efforts are being made to weaken all of them. Accusing the government, he said that the previous Election Commissioner was given freedom. Today the government is taking decisions like election date and in how many phases voting will take place.

Sibal also targeted the government over the new law regarding the appointment of election commissioners. He said that the decision of 5 judges was that the Election Commissioner should be appointed and the Chief Justice should also have a role in taking the decision. But he did not let this happen. Sibal said that the government has brought a new law regarding the appointment of the Election Commissioner. Since the government wants to retain the Chief Election Commissioner of its choice, nothing can be said right now as to what it will do next.
