Mr. Shukla, take chill pillBy: Manish | 07-Feb-2009Reply | ForwardThere are few flaws with the authors reasoning when he writes about Election Commission. First, he calls whatever transpired as "unsavoury spat". The fact is what CEC did was he was duty bound to do so. One of his job function is also to report conduct of his sub-ordinates/peers (in this case Mr. Naveen Chawla) to the President. Had he not done that it would have been dereliction of his duty. So, what he reported is what he observed and that was right. Second, the author calls CEC report to be a "rivial charges". From when on leak of information has become trivial? Especially, when the information directly affects the functioning of our democracy! What Naveen Chawla did was not right period. And, instead of bringing petty politics into it, let the constitutional process take its own course. Third, the government in this case does not have any locus standi to decide on whether or not Naveen Chawla should go. This is upto the President to decide.
