Election Commission Is Dysfunctional Body, A Failed Institution: Kapil Sibal

New Delhi, Mar 23 (PTI): Terming the Election Commission "dysfunctional" and a "failed" institution, Rajya Sabha MPRajya Sabha MPRajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal has claimed that a large section of people do not have faith in the poll body as it has not discharged its functions in accordance with its constitutional responsibilities.

In an interview with PTI, Sibal said the quicker the issue of lack of faith in the Election Commission is dealt with, the greater is the chance of saving democracy.

"The Election Commission is a dysfunctional body. The Election Commission has not discharged its functions in accordance with its responsibilities which are expected of it under the Constitution," he said when asked about the Congress' and TMC's allegations about voters list irregularities.
