In a heated parliamentary debate, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi questions the neutrality of the Election Commission, asking why the Chief Justice of India (CJI) was removed from the selection panel. He alleges 'vote theft' and questions the 2023 law granting immunity to Election Commissioners, asking, 'Why would the Prime Minister and Home Minister give this gift of immunity?' He also challenges the rule allowing the destruction of CCTV footage after 45 days. Union Home Minister Amit Shah rebuts the charges, arguing that for 73 years prior to 2023, there was no law and Prime Ministers appointed ECs directly.
00:00But I want to ask three questions first, which will make it very clear that the BJP is directing and using the election commission to damage India's democracy.
00:18The first question, why is it that the CJI was removed from the selection panel of the election commissioner?
00:38What motivation could there be to remove the CJI? Do we not believe in the CJI? Of course we believe in the CJI. Why is he not in that room?
00:48I sit in that room. It is so-called a democratic decision. On one side, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr. Amit Shah. On the other side, the leader of the opposition. I have no voice in that room. What they decide is what happens.
01:06So the first question, why is the Prime Minister and Amit Shah so keen on choosing exactly who the election commissioner is going to be?
01:13Mr. Amit Shah.
01:18Mr. Amit Shah.
01:23Mr. Amit Shah.
01:29in 73 years, there was no law enforcement in this country.
01:39I would like to tell this whole country that total,
01:50until the death of the law and the death of the law and the death of the law and the death of the law
02:00is all in this manner. Now, in 2003, the law of 1950 and 1990, the law of the law was one
02:15of the law. What was the president? There was no law. The president was sending the law
02:21to the law and the law to the law to the law. That was the right time. The law was the best
02:28of the law. No, no, I said it was the law of the law. I mean that for his 55 years, the president
02:39of the law was the chief of law, that was the law. That's their right time. So,
02:45in the other hand, the law was the key to the law. It was not stopped. But in the
02:51law of 1991, the law was the chief of law of 1960, and the white law came back. When the
03:08So they also appoint the president of the president.
03:13And there are 21 and 8 and 29 of the president of the president.
