Congress slams ‘Arbitrary’ voter deletion in Goa, demands transparency
Goa Khabar : Goa Congress delegation led by GPCC President Amit Patkar , along with MLA Adv. Carlos Alvares Ferreira and other party representatives met the Chief Electoral Office, Goa today to strongly object to the serious flaws in the ongoing SIR process.
The delegation flagged the grave danger of nearly 2.9 lakh voters being arbitrarily struck off the rolls, terming it an attack on the democratic rights of Goans. Congress reminded the authorities that the Supreme Court has clearly ruled that no voter can be deleted without issuing a proper show-cause notice, a safeguard that is being blatantly ignored.
Slamming the secrecy and haste surrounding the exercise, the delegation demanded complete transparency, widespread voter awareness camps, and an extension of the rushed timeline. Congress warned that it will not tolerate any attempt to suppress voters or rig the electoral process and will continue to fight to protect every citizen’s right to vote.
