Addressing media persons here today the Morcha President Virender Gupta said that the matter has been taken up with the Election Commission of India and Chief Electoral Officer. The footage of these proceedings which clearly establish the RO’s partisan role for the NC and others was shown last night on Take 1 & JK Channel the local TV Channels. JSM (P) is therefore of the opinion that this RO can not perform his constitutional duties as a neutral person and as such demands his immediate replacement by some other officer to restore confidence that free and fair elections will be held under the ECI.
He said the voters lists issued by for the 2008 Assembly Elections contains gross irregularities which will prevent the electorate from exercising their constitutional right of voting for the candidate of their choice. |
