CPI(M) Protests Against SIR Process in Jalahalli
Demand for Resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar
Jalahalli, Oct. 3: CPI(M) leaders and activists staged a protest near Ambedkar Circle in Jalahalli town of Devadurga taluk, Raichur district, on Saturday, opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The protesters demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Speaking during the protest, CITU leader Giriyappa Poojari said that the names of no eligible voters should be deleted during the SIR process. He said Aadhaar card is not the final proof of citizenship and that citizenship and voting rights must be verified through a lawful and transparent process. He also demanded that the names of eligible voters who have been wrongly excluded from the electoral roll be restored immediately.
Right to Vote is the Foundation of Democracy: Narasanna Nayak
CPI(M) leader Narasanna Nayak said the right to vote is one of the fundamental pillars of democracy. He said the Election Commission has the responsibility not only to identify ineligible or fake voters but also to protect the rights of eligible voters. He urged the authorities to provide transparent answers to questions being raised about the electoral system and stressed that autonomous institutions should function independently without political pressure.
Transparent Opportunity Must Be Provided to Voters: Shabbir
Shabbir Jalahalli said questions have been raised publicly regarding the autonomy and impartiality of the electoral system. He demanded that citizens be given a transparent and fair opportunity during the revision of electoral rolls. Regardless of which government or political party is in power, protecting the rights of voters must be given priority, he said.
