Parliament Face-off: Rahul Gandhi Questions EC Immunity and CCTV Rules; Amit Shah Defends 2023 Law

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.
