슬롯사이트�Duplicate Voter-ID Numbers슬롯사이트�: Congress Rejects ECI슬롯사이트�s Response, Calls It 슬롯사이트�Feeble and Duplicitous슬롯사이트�

New Delhi, March 7: Amid a row over 슬롯사이트�duplicate슬롯사이트� voter identity card numbers, the Election Commission of India (ECI) said it would address the "decades-long" matter in the next three months. However, the Congress has rejected ECI슬롯사이트�s response, calling it 슬롯사이트�feeble and duplicitous". The party has raised concerns over the integrity of the voter lists, which it claims are flawed and dubious.

"The Congress rejects this feeble and duplicitous explanation by the ECI and reiterates its demands to come clean on the sanctity of voter lists in India," the grand old party슬롯사이트�s Empowered Action Group of Leaders and Experts (EAGLE) said in a statement on Friday. EAGLE was set by the Congress party to keep a 슬롯사이트�bird슬롯사이트�s eye view슬롯사이트� of elections in the country and 슬롯사이트�monitor the conduct of free and fair elections by the Election Commission of India슬롯사이트�.

The panel includes Ajay Maken, Digvijaya Singh, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Praveen Chakravarty, Pawan Khera, Gurdeep Singh Sappal, Nitin Raut, and Vamshi Chand Reddy. 슬롯사이트�The Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a duplicitous response on the issue of same voter IDs being allotted to multiple voters. The ECI, in its response, hides behind its processes to offer a feeble explanation,슬롯사이트� added the statement.

According to the statement, the ECI has been forced to admit that its voter lists are flawed and not trustworthy. The EAGLE statement further explained that 슬롯사이트�the Election Commission, in a letter issued on September 18th, 2008, to Chief Electoral Officers of all States, had said that 슬롯사이트�voter-IDs are unique슬롯사이트�. However, the ECI today says, the issue of duplicate voter-IDs is a 슬롯사이트�decades long issue슬롯사이트�. 슬롯사이트�Which statement of the ECI should the citizens of India believe? Why should an average Indian voter today trust the Election Commission?슬롯사이트� the party questioned.

슬롯사이트�How is it that 17 years later, ECI speaks of constituting a body to clean up this process of multiple voter-IDs? Was the ECI then all along misrepresenting to the voters of India that the 슬롯사이트�voter-IDs were unique슬롯사이트�? If yes, then what are the other processes which ECI has been misrepresenting to its citizens?슬롯사이트� the Congress questioned. The Congress leaders said that the initial response of the Election Commission to these questions was to defend itself by stating that 슬롯사이트�this could happen only across states슬롯사이트�.

슬롯사이트�But there are instances with clear evidence of many voters with the same voter-ID in the same assembly constituency in the same state,슬롯사이트� the party said, asking: 슬롯사이트�Is the ECI then lying? As the issue of duplicate voter-IDs clearly is not across different states, but rather in the same state and, in many cases, in the same constituencies.슬롯사이트� The party has asked why there has been a deafening silence on Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi슬롯사이트�s demand from Election Commission to provide a copy of the Maharashtra voter rolls. 슬롯사이트�This only reaffirms what the Congress party has been asserting - voter lists under the current ECI are dubious and flawed,슬롯사이트� said the Congress.
