Lok Sabha MP Sougata Ray’s Zero Hour mention on the issue of large-scale duplication of EPIC voter identity card numbers across state
Sir, with your permission, I would like to raise the matter of false voter lists all over India, which has been pointed out by our Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee. In her recent speech, Ms. Mamata Banerjee showed the papers where it was seen that the same EPIC numbers had voters both in Bengal and Haryana. In Bengal, it was in the district of Murshidabad. Again, she showed voter cards which had same EPIC numbers in Bardhaman and in Haryana. This shows that all is not well in the state of Denmark. There are some serious flaws. This has been pointed out earlier with regard to Maharashtra voter list which had an inflated voter list. This was pointed out in the list of Haryana. Now, they are preparing to jump on Bengal and Assam also which have elections next year. Sir, with your permission, I demand that the total voter list should be thoroughly revised and the Election Commission should answer to the country why such mistakes have occurred in the voter list. They have informed our Party that they will let us know within three months. We shall meet on behalf of the Party. Our people will meet the newly appointed Chief Election Commissioner, who was earlier Secretary of the Cooperation Ministry under Mr. Amit Shah. We hope that he replies properly. Our agitation on this point will continue. सर, मैंआपको समझाता ह ं। … मझुेएक सेकेंड का समय दीनजए। … You know that the Election Commission is under the Ministry of Law and Parliamentary Affairs
