AN INTERNAL TREACHERY

The Jallianwala Bagh massacre still gives goosebumps when the thought of the firing comes to one’s mind. The incident has completed 100 years but that oppressive colonial rule still ignites fire among people. The British mocking the Indian masses is less horrifying than Indian leaders mocking the Indian people. Chowkidars are funding the thieves. The ruling class is heaping one after another disgrace on the democracy. This is high time we as people of the nation must decide who will rule us.

over the electronic voting machine (EVM) functioning is uncalled for. Malfunctioning of EVMs in some segments may be due to technical glitches and poor maintenance. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has all the resources to ensure a smooth voting process. Incidents of violence and malfunctioning of EVMs can’t be the basis for return to the paper-ballot system. The CM, who was once head of digital campaign committee, should not raise the bogey of EVM and question the ECI solely out of a compulsive Mahagathbandhan politics.

role of caste, religion, region and race. Now, there is a new trend of trading unsubstantiated and irresponsible charges of corruption against rivals. The elections are won and lost based on the price of tomatoes. We need to understand and act to address the fairness of the election process. The election commission should assert its authority and disqualify at least 10 top political leaders who have been found violating the guidelines.
