The PARSI press in my opinion must quickly list down questions similar to the 14 proposed by Prof. Faredoon Kapadia to ask candidates to answer. The community must also be invited to send in relevant questions.
Using their exoerience to add and modify these, the Short listed questions can be posted to the candidates giving them a week’s time for response within limited space anf time. These responses must be simultaneously printed as a supplement in the papers like jame PARSI times PARSI aawaz etc for wider readership. Based on these answers then the electorate may be able to make a wiser decision. This approach is cost effective in terms of time and money and gives little chance for manipulative efforts by candidates to the electorate avoiding public gatherings.
