Election Commission's own software contains a lock written for one state, and only one - West Bengal.

An independent audit of the Commission's portal ECINET, reported by @htTweets has found a feature that can bar Electoral Registration Officers and Assistant EROs, only in West Bengal, from two critical functions:

🔹Reviewing voters' enumeration forms
🔹Viewing the notice and hearing dashboard

Officers in every other state have access to both. The audit found no such exclusion anywhere else in India.
The audit was carried out by the civic-tech initiative Charchagram. Its data scientist Saurav Rajput examined ECINET's publicly served code on October 2, 6, 7 and 9. The feature was still there in code fetched as recently as October 19.

In his words: West Bengal is separately hard-coded in the codebase & excluded from it (for ERO and AERO).

Understand what is at stake.
The enumeration form page holds each voter's details - name, voter ID, who submitted the form, the documents uploaded & the booth level officer's recommendation. It holds the ERO/AERO-Document & Hearing-Order files, along with the buttons to send a form back to the BLO or flag it.

The notice & hearing dashboard is where notices are tracked and hearings processed. It is where the decision is made about who stays on the roll and who is removed.

Under the law, the ERO is the officer responsible for preparing and revising the electoral roll. If ECINET can shut Bengal's EROs out of the forms & the hearings, the country has a right to know who would be reviewing them instead.

On September 24, the Election Commission told the country that ECINET is a decentralised platform and that nobody else can perform their statutory function on ECINet, including any other officer of ECI.

If only EROs and AEROs can perform these functions, and the code can bar Bengal's EROs and AEROs from the forms and the hearings, then the Commission's two claims cannot both stand.

Now look at the timeline -
🔹September 26: After two Election Commissioners raised objections, the Commission set up a committee to examine whether ECINET complies with the law, following complaints that control of electoral rolls had been centralised.
🔹September 28: Bengal exception has existed in the code at least since this date.
🔹October 16: A new build of the app is introduced. Bengal exception is still in it.
🔹October 19: The exception is still present in the live code.
While the Commission said it was examining whether its system had been centralised, the code continued to treat one state differently from every other.

When Hindustan Times sent the Election Commission a questionnaire, it did not respond.

Nation demands-
🔹Explain why ECINET's code contains a West Bengal-only exclusion for EROs and AEROs.
🔹Name who ordered this code to be written & when.
🔹Disclose whether this restriction has ever been switched on, in which constituencies, and for how long.
🔹Reveal who reviewed Bengal's enumeration forms and hearings during any period the restriction was active.
🔹Publish ECINET's access rules and access logs, and place the portal before an independent technical audit with the findings made public.

Code does not write itself. A hard coded exception for one state is a deliberate choice & someone made it. The Election Commission must tell nation who made that choice & why.

From Karnataka's "dead" voters to Delhi's "untraceable" citizens & now a Bengal only exception in the Commission's own software, the same question keeps coming up: who is really in control of India's voter rolls?

The vote belongs to the people, not to whoever controls the code.

हरियाणा पुलिस से सीधे सवाल—पत्रकार अतुल अग्रवाल जी @atulaum_ पिछले 3 दिन से कहाँ है? उन्हें कहाँ रखा गया है?

अतुल अग्रवाल जी के मामले में ड्रग माफिया के संभावित दबाव को लेकर उठ रहे सवालों की भी निष्पक्ष जांच होनी चाहिए। जब तक तथ्यों की पुष्टि नहीं होती, किसी व्यक्ति या संस्था को दोषी ठहराना उचित नहीं है—लेकिन पुलिस की जवाबदेही से जुड़े सवालों को अनदेखा भी नहीं किया जा सकता।

देश के गृहमंत्री श्री अमित शाह जी नशे के खिलाफ अभियान की बात करते हैं। ऐसे में यह जानना जरूरी है कि नशे के विरुद्ध आवाज उठाने वाले पत्रकार के मामले में वास्तव में क्या हुआ और कानून के अनुसार क्या कार्रवाई की गई।

हरियाणा पुलिस जवाब दे!

- अतुल अग्रवाल जी इस समय कहां हैं और क्या वे सुरक्षित हैं?
- यदि उन्हें हिरासत में लिया गया है, तो उसका कानूनी आधार क्या है?
- मामले की निष्पक्ष जांच और पारदर्शिता सुनिश्चित करने के लिए क्या कदम उठाए जा रहे हैं?

मांग स्पष्ट है: अतुल अग्रवाल जी की स्थिति तत्काल सार्वजनिक की जाए, यदि उनकी हिरासत अवैध है तो उन्हें रिहा किया जाए और पूरे मामले की निष्पक्ष जांच हो।

हरियाणा पुलिस याद रखे—वर्दी के साथ जवाबदेही भी आती है। पत्रकारों की स्वतंत्रता और नागरिकों के कानूनी अधिकारों की रक्षा करना पुलिस का कर्तव्य है। जवाब नहीं मिला तो इस मामले को लेकर शांतिपूर्ण और लोकतांत्रिक तरीके से व्यापक विरोध दर्ज कराया जाएगा।

सवाल पूछना अपराध नहीं है। जवाबदेही से बचना स्वीकार्य नहीं है। न्याय मिलना चाहिए!

A heartfelt message by a parent, K Sharad Haksar to Neha Bora.
“When I got married, I knew I wanted only one child. And in my heart, I hoped it would be a girl.
I was blessed with a daughter.
The first time I held her, I made her a silent promise. You will never have to share my time. You will never have to wait for my attention. Whatever I have, you will get all of it.
I had seen families with four or five children. Parents running from morning to night, and still some child was always left waiting. I also felt our country has too many people, and nature is paying for it. One child felt right. It felt responsible.
For years, I never questioned it.
Then this year, I saw Neha Bora.
She is 29, a PhD student at JNU, a theatre artist from Khatima, a small town in the hills of Uttarakhand. When the NEET paper leak happened, she sat down at Jantar Mantar for students she did not even know. Children who had studied for years. Parents who had spent their savings on coaching and still lost.
She did not eat for 23 days.
She was 66 kilos when she started. She lost more than 7. Near the end, doctors were taking her blood three or four times a day.
The night I read that, I could not sleep. I kept seeing my own daughter in her place. On a hot Delhi road. Thin. Tired. A doctor holding her wrist again. And I knew I would not be able to stand there and watch. I would have begged her to stop.
But Neha did not stop until the work was done. And when it was over, she said her body had forgotten how to eat. It had to learn again, like a baby. Even then, still weak, she went to Bihar to meet more than 600 students who had been arrested. She did not go home to rest. She went to the ones who had stood by her.
I am a dowser. Every day I work with energy. I have learned that anger is heavy. It burns out fast. Nobody can live on anger for 23 days without food. Only love can carry you that far.
Then I read that her father was in the Army, and the family kept moving from one posting to the next.
My wife's father was also in the Army. I never call him my father-in-law. To me, he is simply Papa. My wife studied in 13 schools. Thirteen first days. Thirteen times walking into a class where nobody knew her name. Thirteen goodbyes to friends she never saw again. Army children learn to smile, pack their bags and start again. Nobody asks them how much it hurts. I see that strength in my wife every day. I saw it in Neha too.
In Ranchi, a man threw ink on her face and called her anti-national. She said she had already faced pellets and lathis in Delhi. Ink would not scare her.
Ink washes off. In energy work, we say that what people throw at you only stays if you take it in. She seems to know this without ever holding a pendulum.
Her family did not agree with her. There were fights at home. But during the hunger strike, her mother came to Jantar Mantar.
I don't know what they said to each other. I don't need to. I am a parent. I know what a mother feels when she sees her child weak and thin on a road, and still standing. Every argument is forgotten in that moment. All that is left is: this is my child.
Neha said she has not spoken to her father yet.
I don't know him. But I am a father too, and I know how hard it is for men like us to say some things out loud. So if he cannot say it yet, let me say it for him, from Chennai.
Beta, we are proud of you. Now go and eat something properly.
Somewhere in all this, a thought came to me that I never expected. I wish I had one more daughter. One like Neha. This takes nothing away from my own daughter. She is my world. She always will be. But Neha made me ask myself a hard question. We spend our whole lives keeping our children safe and helping them get ahead. Do we ever teach them to look back at who is being left behind? And if one day they stand up for someone else, will we stand next to them as Neha's mother did? Or will we ask them to come home and stay quiet. Our job is to protect that light, even when it scares us.
