EC initiates inquiry into Kejriwal’s name in two voters’ list

November 25, 2013

The Election Commission (EC) on Monday initiated an inquiry into allegation against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal of being enrolled in voters’ list at two Assembly constituencies in Delhi and directed the poll officers to file a report within two days.images

“Even though we have not received any complaint, but taking cognisance of media reports have asked the District Election Officers of New Delhi and North-East Delhi to go through the voter enrolment form filed by Kejriwal. They have been asked to file a report in 48 hours,” said Delhi Chief Electoral Officer Vijay Dev.

Any further action will be taken after the report is submitted, he said.

The Delhi BJP had approached the Election Commission on Friday against Mr. Kejriwal alleging that he was enrolled as a voter in three different constituencies, two in Delhi and one in Uttar Pradesh.

“It has come to our notice that Kejriwal’s name has been registered at three places — Seemapuri and New Delhi constituencies in Delhi and Sahibabad of Ghaziabad district in Uttar Pradesh,” claimed the BJP spokesperson.

AAP had said it has already informed the EC about the change of address and it is now up to the Commission to decide the matter.

“We have already informed EC about it. We have done our job and filled the requisite form, now it is up to EC to decide in the matter,” the party had said.

Mr. Dev on Monday appealed to political parties to contest the election on level playing field and refrain from maligning each other names.

Indore, Feb 3: Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Sunday attacked the Centre for conferring the Padma Shri on Pakistan-origin singer Adnan Sami, who became an Indian citizen in 2016.

Addressing "Save the Constitution, Save the Country" rally here in Madhya Pradesh, Singh said Sami's father had "pounded India with bombs" when he was serving with the Pakistani Air Force (PAF).

"Since Sami is an artist who has come from Pakistan, I had recommended his case to the Indian government for citizenship. He has got Indian citizenship under the Modi government," the Congress leader said, adding that he never made any recommendation to the government for conferring Padma Shri on Sami.

He said Sami's father had "dropped bombs against us" while flying a Pakistan Air Force combat plane.

"In contrast, Indian Army officer Sanaullah of Assam, who had fought against the enemy, was sent to a detention camp for failing to show documents (during the Assam NRC exercise). This is the citizenship law of the Modi government," he said.

Sami, born in London to a Pakistani Air force veteran, applied for Indian citizenship in 2015 and became a citizen of the country in January 2016.

He was one of the 118 people chosen for the Padma Shri awards by the Centre last month.

Nowadays, Modi is uttering Pakistan even in his dream, while putting the India & Indians on the fence.

BSF Officer Sanaullah was deprived of his basic rights and put in the detention center while Adnan Sami was granted citizenship and conferred with prestigious "Padma Shri" Award. Really, Modi & Amit Shah duos doesn't know what they are doing in India.....what a bizzare!!!

I think this college management will allow girl students to wear tight jeans + t-shair and miniskirts but is not allowing a girl to cover her body.    Are we in ancient days where humans had no dress to cover themselves or in the time of Nair kings in kerala who restricted ladies of low caste from covering their chest.
