Voter list was last cleaned 20 years ago. Those who died, moved, multiple entries etc must be removed. For the remainder small percentage the EC provides an easy way back on the electoral list. For this the opposition wants regime change.
Clutching at straws?

Expose the reality behind the opposition’s false Vote Chori narrative 💯

[Saravanaprasad Balasubramanian (Modi ka Pariwar) @BS_Prasad]

Mohammed Qamruddin was a Pakistani citizen. He entered Assam from Islamabad to Dhaka and then through the Bangladesh border. He had a Pakistani passport. After that, he was provided with all the necessary Indian documents. His name also appeared on the electoral roll. Since he was receiving funding, he soon became a ‘social worker’. In 1996, he even contested the Assembly election from the Jamunamukh Assembly constituency (No. 90) in Assam! At that time, T.N. Seshan, Rajiv Gandhi’s former Cabinet Secretary and a courtier of the Gandhi family, was the Chief Election Commissioner! And, interestingly, T.N. Seshan, who allowed a ‘Pakistani infiltrator candidate and Bangladeshi infiltrator voters’ to undermine democracy, was given massive PR at the time as a ‘strong, strict and honest officer’! Some people still haven’t come out of that intoxication.

Well, since the subject of T.N. Seshan has come up, let me share one more piece of information. The P.V. Narasimha Rao government made changes in the Election Commission and appointed two more Commissioners. The system of having three Election Commissioners that we see today began at that time. Note this carefully: they were appointed by ‘Narasimha Rao, not Congress’! The Gandhi family was furious with Narasimha Rao, and this was one of the major reasons among many others. Through the then CEC T.N. Seshan, the Gandhi family challenged in the Supreme Court the decision to give the other two Election Commissioners powers equal to those of the CEC! Today, the very people who are crying foul that the two Commissioners were wronged had challenged this very system in the Supreme Court.

The case was heard by a five-judge Constitution Bench, and on 14 July 1995, the court unanimously (5-0) dismissed Congress’s Seshan’s petition and upheld the structure of a multi-member Election Commission, as well as equal participation of the Chief Election Commissioner and the other Election Commissioners in the decision-making process. (Important: The provision for decisions to be taken by majority was also upheld by the court through this very judgment. In the present case, the Election Commission will rely on this 1995 judgment in court. There can be differences of opinion or dissent in the decision-making process. But in all the decisions taken regarding SIR, whatever was decided by majority or unanimously was ultimately implemented.)

Now let us return to the main issue. A Pakistani candidate contesting an election in India was not some peak-level anomaly. As time went by, the situation only got worse. In a separate case (‘Saira Begum & Others vs. Government of Assam’), Justice B.K. Sharma of the Gauhati High Court, in 2008, made an extremely alarming observation on record — “Bangladeshi nationals have become kingmakers in deciding who will win elections in Assam.” This was not said by any BJP leader, but by the court itself after examining all the statistics, data and evidence!!

---

Those opposing SIR know that Indian voters have rejected them. Therefore, they want illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators to be included in the electoral rolls again. But they are certain that this wish will not be fulfilled. They do not want to put in the hard work of going to the ground, raising people’s issues and working for the people in order to win elections. There is an enormous ‘disconnect’ between these people and the public. It is a pathetic situation of ‘unable to dance, so blaming the floor’.

Therefore, understand this: opposition to the ‘purification’ of electoral rolls is not merely a political issue! Congress has been unable to form a government even once in Odisha for the last 26 years, Tripura for 33 years, Gujarat for 36 years, Bihar for 36 years, Uttar Pradesh for 37 years, Bengal for 49 years and Tamil Nadu for 59 years. Is Congress doing all this merely to win elections? No. They have now shifted to Plan B.

Communication is the key to tackling these CANVAS protests.

Don’t leave the entire narrative power with the opposition. Leaders from the ruling side must come forward and present the real facts.

Wow! Perhaps one of the best tributes to Aditya Dhar for making Dhurandhar. In just a few words, Kumar Vishwas hits the bullseye

The interviewer looks visibly uncomfortable and must be cursing his luck for asking the right question to the wrong person. Enjoyed this conversation 😘😍👊🏼

[Rakesh Krishnan Simha @ByRakeshSimha]

Who made her foreign secretary? Is this clown just a secular nut, or is she being blackmailed by the ISI to speak in favour of Pakistan? Nirupama Rao on Dhurandhar: "Perhaps the most troubling aspect of Dhurandhar is not what it says about Pakistan, but what it suggests about India's own democratic reflexes. The hostility directed at critics - accusations of disloyalty, campaigns of harassment - indicates a shrinking tolerance for dissent in matters framed as national security. Wars are not started by films. But wars are easier to justify when societies have already learned to cheer them in the dark."

UPDATE from Calcutta Club -

The speakers for the motion, particularly Mani Shankar Iyer and @MahuaMoitra, stayed true to form. A heady cocktail of arrogance, selective history and personal diatribes, ensuring their time was spent more on sermonising than substantiating.
Ms Moitra, in a moment of intellectual self goal, attempted to paint Hinduism as comfortably non vegetarian and Hindutva as rigidly vegetarian. A theory that collapsed under its own weight when she invoked Gandhi’s Hinduism (Gandhi being a staunch vegetarian), while conveniently forgetting that Savarkar, the most vocal proponent of Hindutva, was an atheist and a meat eater. The House, rather sportingly, even recalled the delightful anecdote of Savarkar cooking prawns when Gandhi visited him in London. Reality, as usual, proved inconvenient.
@ashutosh83B, sadly, seemed to be debating a motion that only existed in his head. A complete disconnect from both subject and audience, marred by weak articulation and arguments that struggled to locate either logic or coherence.

@tishasaroyan started with promise but quickly wandered into an entirely different TED Talk on ancient Hindu history and Sanatan Dharma. The actual motion was left abandoned at the altar, while we were treated to an oddly abrasive, patronising monologue delivered with the self certainty of the only “real historian” in the room.
Fortunately, @KunalCardiac played the role of the reality check, puncturing the self importance with humour and restoring some order. His intervention was a reminder that good moderation is not just about keeping time, but about keeping egos in check.

From the against the motion camp, @swapan55 was in sublime form. Witty, precise, historically grounded and linguistically commanding. His ten minutes were a masterclass in how control over language shapes narratives, and how Anglophile discomfort with the word Hindutva is often rooted more in prejudice than principle.
@paulagnimitra1, from whom much was expected, unfortunately and prematurely, converted her slot into a miniature election rally to the wrong audience. The motion was nowhere to be found, and even the ever patient moderator @KunalCardiac had to humorously rein her in, a moment that drew more applause than her argument.

Then entered @jsaideepak, the speaker many were waiting for. Unapologetic, unburdened by political correctness and razor-sharp. He dismantled the proponents arguments with clinical ease, to thunderous approval from the “guspetias” in the audience (a term Ms Moitra used rather generously for the alleged Hindutvawadis who had infiltrated Calcutta’s elite circle, and one that earned her a solid round of boos). His arguments were crisp, historically honest, and refreshingly free from cherry picking.
Finally, @SudhanshuTrived arrived to loud cheers, only to leave many disappointed. Instead of engaging the motion, he drifted into grievance-listing and rhetorical digressions, turning what should have been a strong finish into a missed opportunity.

Though the judges declared the debate a draw (perhaps in the fear and the pressures mounted by the elite administrators), the overwhelming show of hands against the motion was a rude awakening for Calcutta’s pseudo-liberal elite. It signalled that the tide is turning, and that their once-comfortable narratives are now being dismantled with ease by voices they never thought belonged to the “intelligentsia”
