congress has made former CEC M S Gill a minister. Perhaps M S Gill encashed a post-dated cheque for helping Congress during his tenure as CEC. There should be a model code of conduct for ensuring impartiality of election comission.

Yes I fully agree. Ex-CECs/ECs should NOT be made Ministers or any other such appointments. This would affect the impartiality of EC as there would be rush by EC members to please Political parties/bosses inpower for future encashment. Rightly said in this case a post dated cheque has been encashed by Gill.
