The EC looks to file FIR, ECIL denies that 'cyber-security expert' was an employee as BJP targets Congress over Kapil Sibal's presence at press conference.
Mired in controversy for attending the ‘EVM hacking’ event in London, Congress leader Kapil Sibal calls Law Minister R.S. Prasad’s allegations ‘mindless’.
It would be a disservice to the women of Hassan to look at Prajwal Revanna’s alleged abuse of power as a ‘sex scandal’. Allegations against him show what ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely’ actually means.
Air India’s new policy, effective from 2 May, introduces new weight limits for tickets in each of the different 'fare families' — Comfort, Comfort Plus, and Flex.
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
1. I think opposition parties have been most unreasonable in their opposition to use of electronic voting machine (EVMs). I believe Chief Election Commissioner of India has done the right thing by ruling out retuning to use of ballot papers. His decision is the most appropriate decision. It is better to ignore criticism of all those who have made baseless allegations regarding the electronic voting machine (EVM). 2. So-called experts with perverse mind and ideology can go to any extent to prove that EVM can be manipulated. 3. We as citizen-voters know that in past the Election Commission of India (ECI) had given many an opportunity to anyone to prove that EVM can be hacked. Fact is that not one individual came forward to submit any proof. Strangely, someone wishes to hack an EVM in London to prove that EVM can be manipulated in India! 4. Opposition parties are opposing use of EVM for a silly reason: that it is possible for BJP to hack EVMs. If BJP could manipulate EVMs, it could have handsomely won recently held State Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh. 5. Citizen-voters do want use of ballot papers, which are far more unsafe and unreliable as compared with EVMs.
Nothing should be left to chance and it is a smart move of the joint opposition to ensure vigilance
and precaution to avert any bungling or foul play in the voting !
It will also offer an opportunity to opposition parties to come closer to have better cohesion for the
common cause of not allowing anti-BJP vote to split ! Getting rid of authoritarian regime at all is in
the best interests of the nation !
