In cities across India, students, protest leaders, and Members of Parliament have hit the streets together to question the Chief Election Commissioner of India, who is supposed to ensure free and fair elections, but is suspected of having tilted the board to favour the ruling party.

Allegations of electoral irregularities should be addressed honestly and transparently by the government. Instead, the question is being stonewalled by police violence.

When citizens demand accountability from a high constitutional institution which is the guarantor of democracy, the response should be answers — not intimidation.
