EC turns a blind eyeListen to this articleAs the election campaign intensifies ahead of the Feb 8 deadline, some political parties have found themselves the target of organised misinformation and political smearing by their rivals, an act punishable under the election law. Some are trying to take advantage of legal loopholes by not explicitly naming the other party in their smear campaigns. The poll agency must find the culprits. It is unfortunate that the EC is doing quite the opposite -- and moving sluggishly. By not taking a more proactive approach, it creates the impression that the poll agency lacks sincerity, or even neutrality.
