Congress: The Election Commission took a step to revise the role that everything is not well. Bharat News

The EC said on Tuesday that all the existing voters in Bihar who were not on the role in 2003, will have to be re -re -. Provide documentation proving their eligibilityIt was the beginning of a nationwide practice.

A Congress Committee on Thursday in a statement assigned the task of looking at the elections: “In simple words, EC wants to fully abandon the electoral roll and create a new new election role for the state … It is a clear and clear entry by EC that all India’s electoral rolls are not well.

The eight -member Eagle Committee said: “Millions of union and state government officials will now control and decide who have the right documents and who do not, who get to vote in the upcoming Bihar elections, etc. This state takes a big risk of the outspoken exclusion of voters using the power of the machinery.”

In a meeting of political parties with the Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar on Wednesday in Patna, the representatives of the India Block – RJD, Congress, CPI (ML), including Mukti and CPI (M) – unanimously dismissed the SIR, called it a trick to exclude poor, rural and minority voters.

RJD Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Kumar Jha told the Indian Express that the party will go to EC. “This is a huge practice, and is expected in just two and a half months with Bihar election notification, time is suspicious. This process can begin long ago. We feel very strongly that this complete exercise, is this a kind of cover? Cover to ensure that people of sublime classes and minorities are going to attack, back and Dalits?” He said.

Opposition parties marked concerns over the Commission’s strict documentation requirements. The new rules set separate proof thresholds by Kohrt of Birth. Voters born between July 1, 1987 and December 2, 2004 require the proof of the Indian citizenship of the parents, while born after December 2, 2004, both parents need documentation.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that the EC “was acting like a BJP’s stog” and asked if this step was a back door attempt to implement NRC.

“I do not understand the reason behind the reason behind the EC step or selecting these dates. It is nothing short of a scam. I seek clarification from the Commission if they are trying to implement NRC through the backdoor. In fact, it seems more dangerous than NRC, which should oppose every political party,” he said.

The Congress’ statement said that the EC rules on the birth certificate “are” arbitrary, eccentric and important “on the estimated 8.1 crore eligible voters in Bihar in 2025”.

CPI (ML) Liberation General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya also attracted similarities with Assam’s NRC practice and argued in a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner that completing the verification of “78 million voters” in a month was “logically absurd and a logical nightmare”.
