Actually president asked the commission to decide the election date and gazette it. However as per the constitution it should be a date before 2nd June. So I don’t think the commission has any option other than fixing a date and start works such as calling for postal votes and printing ballot papers.
This is not an ordinary situation. So there is a issue in conducting election if there is not satisfactory control of pandemic situation. Option available for election commission as per the election legislation is silent. No provision is provided by the election law. That's why he suggested to ask from supreme Court. But government disgracefully rejected his letter and lots of sarcastic happenings were there in Jayasundaraz reply.
Today also government closed one, wijedasaya sent a letter to EC and it compelled EC to conduct election anyone and if not it EC is guilty. Seems government pressures up EC unethically. Its not deplomatic. In case of something went wrong, consideration is lives of the poor ir public.
Every party should realise their duty towards citizen and national safety. Because it is public is the supreme.
