| NPP Supremo urges Governor to hold afresh poll | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 25: Jammu and Kashmir National Panther Party (JKNPP) chief patron Prof. Bhim Singh on Thursday urged Governor NN Vohra to declare the recently held election for Assembly as null and void and issue a fresh ordinance hold assembly elections afresh in the interest of democracy, rule of law and to keep the faith of the electorates intact in democracy.
According to press release, Prof.Bhim Singh said that there were several reasons to dismiss the recent polls that the election was neither fair nor free as it was rigged by reprogramming the EVMs bought from public sector manufacturing units in Hyderabad without tenders. The EVMs were purchased exclusively for their use in J&K from Hyderabad and taken to Gujarat for preparing them to be rigged by manipulation. This matter was brought to the notice of the CEC who admitted that these EVMs were purchased from Hyderabad and processed in Ahmedabad.
"Why Gujarat manufacturers have been chosen for this purpose and that too for J&K which has a history of rigging elections and manipulation of EVMs? He asked and adding around 15000 EVMs were being utilized for nearly 10,000 polling stations. 5000 extra EVMs could be utilized to manipulate the entire election.
He also asked who are these manufacturers and exporters of EVMs from Gujarat to J&K?. He opposed to the use of EVMs at least in J&K so that the confidence and faith of the voters is not lost and the people could be involved in the democratic process in the state.
Prof. Bhim Singh said that this was also necessary in view of the judgment of the Supreme Court in Subramanium Swamy's case dated 08.10.2013 where the court has held that 'paper trail' was an indispensable requirement of free and fair election. This election in J&K was held in defiance of this judgment. The court had held, "From the materials placed by both the sides, we are satisfied that the 'paper trail' is an indispensable requirement of free and fair elections. |
