Owaisi is wrong on every count of fact and constitutionality. ECI is a constitutional body ensuring free and fair elections. It is their constitutional duty to ensure that those exercising their franchise are entitled to do so under the constitution of India, which means they must be legitimate citizens and not illegal aliens that have acquired voter IDs by hook or crook. The writ of the constitution is what gives ECI the right to ensure that voters are only those who are constitutionally mandated to vote aka, they must be lawful and law abiding citizens of India. Even an electoral contestant can be dismissed by the ECI if he or she is not a citizen, that too a law abiding citizen. In the context of elections, the ECI has the power to determine if someone is a legitimate citizen and therefore a legitimate voter.
