S Y Quraishi, who was Chief Election Commissioner during the UPA-II government, has said he never faced any pressure from the government, saying the Election Commission's image at the time was such that "nobody would dare" approach it.
In an interview with PTI Videos ahead of the launch of his book India and I: A Hundred Memories, Not a Memoir, Quraishi, who served as Chief Election Commissioner from July 30, 2010, to June 10, 2012 during the UPA-II government, said the government was often the last to know when elections would be announced.
