According to the ECI’s own data, over 10 crore Indians face the risk of losing their Constitutional right to vote. The ECI illegally altered Form 6 to create barriers for new voters.
It has facilitated the widespread abuse of Form 7 for targeted deletions.” Targeting the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar of overriding all legal safeguards, he said that there is widespread anger among citizens across the nation and nationwide protest is ongoing despite repression by the ruling dispensation.”The CEC has used the ECINET to centralise control of the electoral roll, overriding all legal safeguards. The nation is outraged. There is widespread anger. Protests continue despite repression,” he added.
