I still say transparency is important: EC Ashok Lavasa

On a day Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora and fellow commissioner Sushil Chandra turned down his demand to incorporate minority view in orders relating to model code violations, Election Commissioner Ashok Lavasa Tuesday said he still believes that transparency is important and such cases should be dealt in a time-bond manner.

Talking to PTI after the meeting, Lavasa refused to comment on the issue of Commission maintaining a status quo, saying, "minutes of the meeting will be drawn, instructions will be issued. Only then there would be a clarity."
Lavasa said, "Till the time there is clarity on the reasoning of the views, it is premature to say (anything)."
He said he continues to "say that transparency is important ... minority view should be included and there should be time-bound procedures. My view is very clear."
