Government defends electoral bonds; says EC's concerns are without legal and factual merit
It's the government versus the Election Commission (EC) on the issue of electoral bonds. Days after the EC raised the red flag before the Supreme Court, government is claiming that those concerns are "without legal and factual merit." The EC had told the court that "anonymous" funding through electoral bonds could pave the way for foreign companies to impact India’s policies among other concerns, reports Utkarsh Anand.
