Including Election Commission chapter in NCERT book is absolutely wrong: TMC's Saugata Roy

A TMC MP has strongly criticized the inclusion of praise for the Election Commission in an NCERT Class 9 textbook, deeming it 'absolutely wrong.' The textbook lauded India's electoral process as 'unparalleled' and highlighted the ECI's efforts to ensure impartiality despite challenges like misinformation and intimidation. The MP's objection stems from alleged voter disenfranchisement during recent elections in West Bengal.
