The Madras High Court on Monday slammed the Election Commission of India for allowing political rallies amid a deadly second wave of Covid-19. The EC is singularly responsible for the second wave of Covid-19 by not stopping political parties from holding election rallies, Madras HC Chief Justice Sanjib Bannerjee said on Monday as he reprimanded the poll body. <br /> <br />“Your institution is singularly responsible for the second wave of Covid-19. Election Commission officers should be booked on murder charges probably,” the HC observed.
