Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Election Commission of India is an independent authority. The Election Commission of India is responsible for conducting free and fair elections (which are also called democratic elections) in India. This authority is independent of any governing authority in India including the ruling political party. The President of India appoints the Chief Election Commissioner of India. However, in the future, they will remain independent of them. No rule of the President can take away the powers of the Chief Election Commissioner. Therefore, in India, the Election Commission is as independent of any authority as its judiciary.
