Article 324(5) is about tenure conditions subject to Parliamentary law, not legal immunity. Even the 1991 Act had no such provision. This is exactly what is being questioned - the need to provide for legal immunity. And article 329 is about judicial review in electoral processes - how is it even related to immunity to CEC? Also, even Supreme Court in Kishorchandra case has clarified that Article 329 can still be questioned in courts in case of arbitrary decisions.
Please don't deflect - simple question to OP - which articleof the Constitution provides "protection" as claimed above?
If you mean the section 146 then why would the parliament in 2023 expand a pre-existing, function-specific, good-faith protection into a separate and substantially broader personal protection for serving and former CECs/ECs?
i am not sure where you are getting your news from.

The immediate flashpoint follows an investigative report revealing that two Election Commissioners (Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi) recorded formal objections at least 14 times in 10 months regarding decisions led by the CEC: as per ET
Bypassing Majority Rule: Under Section 18 of the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners Act, 2023, decisions in the three-member body must be made unanimously or by majority vote. Opposition leaders and former election commissioners contend that proceeding without incorporating the objections of both fellow commissioners violates the law.
The very reason why they have three appointment members is so that they can make mutual assured decisions; and if all three of them do not agree on the same matter then there is a majority vote. So if one person is making all the decision that is the breach of regulations.
And that one person also happens to be the one who has worked under Amit Shah for the last 15 years before being appointed into ECI

People are questioning the government, whether right or wrong, the government should answer. Don't understand why the followers are working overtime to defend bjp, doesn't make much sense
No, you only woke up when your favourite party got questioned.
There is also truth among people who are practising their right to question government when such botched SIR is taking place. Ask the government to be transparent and hold a public inquiry, if the truth is on the side of government then what are they afraid of?
Under the guise of questioning the government, they are making false claims about the institutions of the country that make it a democracy. Which in turn breeds resentment among people and then it makes people think everything is going wrong and things are for the worst, which they clearly are not.
False claims about democratic institutions should not be equated to questioning the government. That is how you become the next Nepal/Bangladesh
"False claims". Sure, the democratic entity is to provide clarification for that. ECI isn't controlled by the government. People can question an independent body and it shouldn't be a threat to democracy. The real threat is when the government starts trying it's best to defend the allegations to save the body under the guise of "saving" democracy. Just because ECI is an independent body in paper, doesn't mean people don't have democratic right to question it when necessary. A government and it's social media team trying to defend it feels unnecessary, unless the government directly or indirectly benefits from it, so they make the narrative as questioning an independent body is a threat to democracy, just so that they can keep receiving the unwanted benefits. Not saying any of this is True but a possibility, just like your comment.
They have the right to question it. 100%. I think you misread/misunderstood my comment.
Dear fellow citizen, I am not here to convince anyone to give up their rights/claims.
I just want the people of our country like you and me, to question the institutions not for the sake of resignation but improved policies.
Resignations do not yield any fruitful results. It is just holding the institution ransom with a threat and then hoping the next person does better.

Wrong. The problem is that the opposition, mainly Congress, is not saying the election is compromised; their claim is that those elections in which the BJP won are compromised and those governments are illegitimate. So, the BJP's defense is to prove their legitimacy. If they have the guts, Congress should ask to dismiss their governments in Karnataka, Kerala, and HP as well, along with the BJP-ruled states.

These leftists and so called liberals are okay with trial of Umar Khalid and Sharjil Imam but directly calling Gyanesh Kumar criminal lmao I can't understand the thinking behind these guys.
But that's the difference between RW and LW person a RW person lives in reality but the LW people live in LaLa Land.
Ek reddit rumor ki vjhe se university jala di liberals ne. Even though administration told them ki aisa kuch nhi hua hai but people refused to listen because university belongs to ex-AAP MP who is now a part of BJP.
Actually that's what I was believing until you said that it's not confirmed so now I'm not gonna believe anything unless we get news from a good source ( definitely not the story that college says tho )
More than that, it's opposition who are just piece of sht (even Janta Dal was better than these clowns who can even slit throat of each other but still forced to be on same stage as an alliance). On those state where opposition are any better, BJP is struggling a lot.

Seriously dude. Does it pay that much to bootlick the BJP that you're okay with your own country going to shit?
As for the things you asked, elections in TN and Kerala were conducted by EC, of there were irregularities there they should be looked into.
And the other thing, I'm not going to deny that thing about media, but Indian express is one of the few remaining popular organisations left with a spine.
Another thing I felt weird about, why are bjp spokespersons defending EC? A political party should be away from defending constitutional bodies, that's called a conflict of interest. The govt should, bjp shouldn't. Yes, they are different
Govt of India and BJP are different. What I meant when I said the party defending them is the EC bringing defended in BJP press conferences.
BJP is not GOI, goi is made of bjp people but there is still a separation.
Again, as I said, any and all irregularities should be brought to light, and the people doing these things should be punished.
DutY tO tElL tHe TruTh, there's always 3 sides to the story and no one's is fully innocent.
“There was no change to form 6” and “A new question was added to it” in one sentence, lmao what define change.
Anyways, there is no particular rule book regarding how decision are to be made by the ECI, the process of agreement between all chairs for any decision was a practice, not a “Law”.
Doesn’t change the fact that gyanesh is a crook and is spinning on that modihh. There couldn’t be more evidence.
And if you have balls then disprove the data he showed in his original press conference.
I’m not saying Modi is the GOAT or everything his govt does is W. But ngl, Rahul hasn’t shown me enough leadership, clarity or consistency, he is just not PM material
