questions on its electoral processHe also termed the demand of 22 opposition parties that the Election Commission change its counting protocol as unconstitutional andcount five random VVPATs first saying any decision in this regard is not possible without an allparty consensusIn his tweets Shah said the Supreme Court has given final shape to the electoral process by hearing three PILs and asked if the opposition is raising questions on the apex courtAny opposition to electronic voting machines is disrespect to peoples mandate he said adding that many rival parties came to power through elections done through EVMs in the pastu00e0u00a4u0087u00e0u00a4u00b8u00e0u00a4u0095u00e0u00a5u0087 u00e0u00a4u00acu00e0u00a4u00beu00e0u00a4u00a6
