Non-locals, security personnel being registered as voters in Baramulla: Mehbooba | | | Early Times Report SRINAGAR, Sept 6: Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday alleged that the administration has given verbal orders in a north district to its officials to register non-local labourers and security personnel as voters. The allegation by the former chief minister Mufti surfaced a day after Jammu and Kashmir chief electoral officer (CEO) Hirdesh Kumar chaired an all-party meeting over the special summary revision of electoral rolls in Jammu. It is learnt that Kumar assured the parties only those eligible under Representation of the People Act (RPA) would be enrolled in the voter list. “According to reports, verbal orders were passed at an administrative meeting in Baramulla yesterday by district Tehsildar to enrol non-local labourers, CISF, CRPF, BSF & army personnel as voters. Administration must come clean on this,” she tweeted. A major political storm had erupted in J&K over the summary revision of electoral rolls after the CEO last month announced that every citizen of the country staying ordinarily" in J&K can register as a voter here and cast vote in the next assembly elections after abrogation of Article 370. He said nearly 25 lakh new voters are likely to be added to the electoral rolls during the summary revision exercise. Except BJP, almost all mainstream opposition political parties hit out at the proposed move. The J&K administration later clarified that the estimate of adding 25 lakh voters while revising the electoral roll in the Union Territory also include those who have attained the age of 18 years as on October 1, 2022. |
