New Delhi:
After the recent Assembly and Municipal elections many parties including Aam Admi Party and Congress alleged accusations on EVM’s for being biased, the all-party meeting including Election Commission was called.
The Election Commission of India today openly asked to hack their electronic voting machines this Sunday or Monday if they can, to put waters on the agitating accusation of tampered EVMs. The decision was taken at the all-party meeting at the Poll Panel held today in New Delhi.
Representatives of seven national parties and 48 state parties were invited at Poll Panel for meeting at constitution club in Delhi to reassure the parties that EVMs can not be tampered and were totally secured, although many parties didn’t buy the Election Commission’s argument.
Arvind Kejriwal led AAp, Mayavati led Bahujan Samajwadi Party, BSP, alleged that EVms were tampered in February-March state elections in five states and the recent civic polls in Delhi.
AAp demonstrated the tampering of EVM in Delhi Assembly
Saurabh Bhardwaj AAP legislator in a special session held in Delhi Assembly, demonstrated the tampering of the EVMs earlier this week.
The Poll Panel dismissed the demonstrated allegations saying the machine used for the act was not EVM but a lookalike, which at anyway can not prove the tampering.
Opposition parties sought help from Supreme Court on urgent basis for the need of implementation of the apex court’s order in connection with the use of VVPAT EVMs during upcoming elections.
The issue of electoral reforms, simultaneous elections assembly elections and lok sabha were also discussed.
