In the midst of the war between the government on the allegations of the amendment of Bihar’s electoral rolls and the bias against the Election Commission, the Deputy Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi has said that Pol Watchdog should be brought under the “Parliamentary Oversite”, which can touch a new debate, which can touch a new debate.The Congress MP said that Parliament had a role in the appointment process of the EC through the presence of the Leader of the Opposition in the collegium for its selection, but had no role in regular functioning and inspection. He said that the same was true about other constitutional bodies.“The credibility of the EC is at stake, and until some parliamentary oversight is brought to the EC, it will remain a tool to the government,” he told TOI. Gogoi said that the nature of parliamentary surveillance could be debated, but the fact that it was necessary could not be more disputed.The opposition is ready to focus its focus on EC in the coming days, demanding with the India block that the government discussed the review of the rolls of Bihar in Parliament, a demand that is likely to nostalize two houses in the coming weeks. At the same time, Congress MP and LOP at LS Rahul Gandhi is ready to lead a protest in Bengaluru on Tuesday, alleging that Bangalore Rural LS is tampering with voters in the LS seat – a sample that Congress has researched to claim similar irregularities. He can also give colleagues a presentation on the Congress’s “Conclusions of Bangalore” on Thursday.Gogoi argued, “I think it should be the duty of every citizen to keep the EC back on the track. It is not for a party but for the future of Indian democracy.”Looking at his demand, he said that all major organizations including law enforcement and intelligence in other democracy were parliamentary monitoring. “Parliament should be supreme when it comes to these institutions which are based on Indian democracy,” he said.
