The Indian Express has come out with another revelation of the machinations for deletion of names of genuine voters during the current SIR exercise.
The Indian Express investigation reveals that persons have been set up by a political party – evidence points to the BJP – in constituencies whose job is to file objections to the enlistment of voters who have voted against that party. One person files 100–200 applications in Form 7 per day, objecting to the enrolment of voters who have voted against them or may vote against them in future - on various false grounds – mostly that they do not live at the address they have given in their application for enrollment, or that they are dead. Each Form 7 is to be signed by the objector - So, he signs 100 forms in his own name or under different fictitious names. He gives a declaration that what he is alleging is true even if it is false. He sends the objections to the Electoral Registration Officer in bulk though the objector is supposed to file each application personally. The voter whose inclusion has been challenged does not even know that the inclusion of his name has been challenged. A notice is issued to him by the ERO which he does not receive because the ERO does not take the trouble to actually communicate the notice to the voter. The voter does not appear, and his name gets left out of the Roll. All social workers who want democracy to prevail need to do two things:
1. The voters need to be informed about what is happening. Let every social worker do so. Let every political party do so. They must check that notices are issued and served by the EROs in cases where objections have been filed.
2. It will turn out that a large number of declarations in Form 7 filed by objectors are false. This is an offence under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act and Sections 171, 227, 228, 229, 233, 234, 236 and 237 of the BNS. Where an Electoral Registration Officer deletes a name without enquiries, or accepts false declaration without verification, he is liable for prosecution under Section 32 of the Representation of the People Act and Sections 49, 233 and 237 of the BNS. Criminal cases need to be lodged against the objectors and EROs by the voters who have been affected; and the social and political workers need to help them in this. Once criminal cases start getting lodged by the voters this “Vote Chori” will stop.

સદ્ગતને શ્રદ્ધાંજલિ તો બરાબર છે પણ સીઆર પાટીલને સત્તાનો અહંકાર તો જુઓ?

ઘરની અંદર આખો પરિવાર બેસણામાં બેઠો છે, તમામ લોકો બુટ-ચપ્પલ વગર બેઠા છે પણ સીઆર પાટીલ કોઈના ઘરની અંદર બેસણામાં પણ બુટ કાઢ્યા વગર જ ઘૂસી ગયા છે.

Pertinent suggestion by @PrashantKishor.

"There should be a nationwide debate on how a former Chief Election Commissioner (Rajiv Kumar) has now become the Chairman of India’s largest private bank (HDFC Bank)."

Instagram has restricted this cartoon in India.

I am posting the cartoon again, along with the notice I received from Instagram.

According to the notice, access has been restricted in India “pursuant to a notice from the Government of India / Law Enforcement” and based on local laws.

The cartoon is still visible outside India.

A cartoon about the Election Commission has been stopped from being seen by Indians. When satire gets censored, perhaps the cartoon has made its point. 🇮🇳

The detention of Ashutosh and other CJP members shows how Himanta has replaced the rule of law by rule of whim in Assam. Totally illegal and highly condemnable.

The entire CJP family stands firmly with Ashu and our colleagues. We will do everything possible to secure their immediate release. You cannot silence young people simply by detaining them. We stand together. We fight together.

A HEART TO HEART CHAT WITH THE NATION...
Not just a Press Release.
One year after my first morning in Jodhpur Central Jail where I was kept in total isolation for six months under the draconian NSA, I have more questions than I had before.
Unfortunately there was a media blackout on Ladakh 3 days ago when I voiced these questions from Leh as Ladakh observed Martyrs Day in memory for those who lost their lives last year on the same day. Here are some of those questions I asked from Delhi today.
I'm sure the NATION WANTS TO KNOW TOO...

The illegal detention by Assam Police has finally ended.

We have asked Police to go and drop us from where we were picked up illegally in the first place 😎.

I will address the Press at Chaudhary Tila, Opp Secretariat, from where we were picked up.

Jai Ai Akom!

After a meeting on Saturday, the poll panel announced nine decisions that addressed several of the concerns recorded by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. But key silences remain — including on Form 6 and appeals in Bengal.

Mr @himantabiswa,

Stop playing with citizens.

Release @AshutoshRanka immediately.

Shame on @assampolice for targeting ordinary citizens while ignoring those who openly spread communal hate.

It is a national tragedy that people like @himantabiswa and @SuvenduWB occupy the chairs of Chief Ministers.

Our freedom fighters must be turning in their graves.

[Abhijeet Dipke @abhijeet_dipke]

Ashu was picked up by Assam Police from a private residence. They have still not been told under what charges or on what grounds he has been detained.

If Ashu is not released, I will go to Assam along with other CJP members. Himanta can arrest us all.

This prescient warning from Dr Manmohan Singh in 1999 should serve to caution the bigots in our ruling circles — and also to inspire the rest of us to work to prevent the worst!

Some people have asked me if it’s appropriate to compare the September 24th brutal killings in Leh last year with Chinese repression in Tibet!
I don’t blame them for they don’t know what happened that day in Leh as there was a total internet blackout for weeks.
I understand the sufferings of Tibetan friends & have always opposed Chinese repression, but if you had seen what people in Leh went through on that unfortunate day, you might not disagree.
Although Ladakh has always been happy & prosperous in India, the last six years have been different & last year was the worst...
In a small town of 20,000 people four killed brutally, one suicide, 80 injured, 75 arrested with charges like attempt to murder. And it was all done without any firing orders in what's believed to be a stage managed violence.
While in Delhi the parliament came to a halt demanding Amit Shah's resignation for use of pallet guns and lathi charge at Jantar Mantar... Shouldn't he resign for this?
You can watch this clip of police brutality on people sitting on peaceful hunger strike. Rest I leave it to viewers to decide…

Products licensed or registered under the ‘Analogue in Dairy Context’ category will have to discontinue the use of ‘Paneer’ in their nomenclature, labelling or marketing.

The move aims to prevent consumer misrepresentation about the nature and composition of such products.

Anish Ray, son of West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer Neelam Meena, has alleged that his mother misused her power to harass the family of his friend Lavika. Anish said his mother, with the help of BJP Minister Umesh Rai, sent goons and BJP workers to threaten his friend's family.

[Tukaram Mundhe @Tukaram_IndIAS]

Act before it becomes a crisis.

Good regulation does not merely respond to problems. It anticipates them.

That was the thinking behind Maharashtra’s action against analogue/non-dairy paneer. Maharashtra prohibited its manufacture, storage, transportation, distribution and sale in July.

Maharashtra acted. Now India can have a uniform framework. FSSAI has now proposed nationwide restrictions on representing non-milk-derived products as “Paneer.”

The food identity matters. Consumers have a right to know what they are buying.
