New Delhi: The Supreme Court is slated to pass certain directions on Wednesday on a batch of petitions seeking mandatory cross-verification of the votes cast in Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) with Voter-Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips.

The Supreme Court is slated to pass certain directions

As per the causelist published on the website of the apex court, the issue is listed before a bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta “for directions” on April 24.

Last week, the Bench had reserved its verdict on a batch of public interest litigations (PILs) in the matter, observing that official acts are normally presumed to be done validly under the Indian Evidence Act and everything done by the Election Commission cannot be suspected.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, the second highest law officer of the Centre, had slammed the petitioners for periodically filing PILs on the eve of elections saying that the democratic choice of a voter is being turned into a joke.

The SG added that the issue has already been settled by the apex court with the dismissal of the pleas seeking similar relief in the past.

In April 2019, the Supreme Court ordered the ECI to increase the VVPAT slips from one Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) per Assembly constituency to five. It had issued guidelines for mandatory verification of VVPAT slips, out of five randomly selected polling stations, after completing the final round of counting votes recorded in EVMs.

A VVPAT is considered an independent verification system for voting machines, allowing voters to verify whether they have correctly cast their votes.

Bengaluru: Bommai, DK Shivakumar trade barbs over PM Modi’s ‘infiltrator’ remark

Bengaluru: Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in the state, the BJP and the Congress is Karntaka on Monday engaged in a bitter war of words over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘infiltrator’ remark made at a rally in Rajasthan’s Banswara on Sunday.

Bommai, DK Shivakumar trade barbs over PM Modi's 'infiltrator' remark

“The Congress manifesto says they will calculate the gold held by the mothers and sisters, and distribute that property. Distribute it to whom? Among ‘infiltrators’ and families with more children. Manmohan Singh’s government had said that Muslims have the first right on the country’s assets,” the Prime Minister had said during the rally.

Attacking the BJP over the PM’s remarks, Karnataka Deputy CM and state Congress President D.K.Shivakumar accused the party of torturing the minority community.

Rebutting Shivakumar’s claims, former Karnataka Chief Minister and BJP candidate for the Haveri Lok Sabha seat, Basavaraj Bommai, claimed that the population in the Muslim countries is on the decline, but it is increasing in Bharat.

“Our state is a home to all religions. Yet, the BJP is creating a situation where one community is tortured to such an extent that they are forced to leave the country,” Shivakumar said in Bengaluru.

“The BJP leaders are claiming that they will change the Constitution. We are acting as per the Constitution. In this background, there is no room for protecting anyone who commits a crime,” he added.

Commenting on ‘appeasement’ politics, Shivakumar said the Prime Minister took oath in the name of the Constitution, and he should know that all people are equal in this country. Any discrimination will send out a bad message to the country and the world.

Reacting to Shivakumar’s remarks, Bommai said that if Muslims feel safe anywhere in the world, it is in Bharat.

“The population of Muslims is increasing in India, but decreasing in the other Islamic nations. Shivakumar must understand this first and not make remarks to appease one particular community for votes,” Bommai said.

The number of communal clashes in the state was the highest during the Congress rule which can be proven with evidence, Bommai claimed.

Speaking on the occasion, president of the Udupi district unit of the party Kishore Kumar Kundapura alleged that the appeasement policy of the Congress government was responsible for such murders. Women have no protection under the Congress rule and anti-social elements are having a field day without the fear of law, he added.

The Congress has taken the murder lightly to appease a certain section of society for the sake of votes in the Lok Sabha elections, he said.

He said that the accused in the murder should be hanged to death.

Udupi MLA Yashpal Suvarna, in-charge of Mangaluru Division of the BJP K.Udaya Kumar Shetty were present.

Former Chief Minister Veerappa Moily recalled this old memory in the presence of Shivraj Kumar.

At that time NT Rama Rao in Andhra Pradesh, MGR in Tamil Nadu had entered politics. Similarly, in Karnataka too, there were rumors that Dr.Rajkumar would join politics and become the Chief Minister. For that we took Dr.Rajkumar and Parvatamma to Delhi and met Indira Gandhi. But Dr.Rajkumar refused this opportunity saying that he will not join politics.

If Rajkumar had entered politics, he would have been ruling the politics of Karnataka even today. Later, Indira Gandhi asked him to accept Rajya Sabha membership. Moily said that Dr.Rajkumar was a sacrificer who politely rejected that too.
