EC Rejects Answering All RTI Questions On SIR, Software! What’s The Fear? | AI with Sanket

The Election Commission has refused to answer an RTI asking just the name and version of the software used in the SIR exercise, calling it a “trade secret” and invoking a clause on endangering lives. On AI with Sanket, RTI campaigner Anjali Bhardwaj, former EC protocol chief Dr Mohammad Amin, and political analyst Rashid Kidwai ask: if there is nothing to hide, why the ducking and dodging?
