Last chance to protect democracy in country

VINAY DWIVEDI, Benaulim | 13th August, 08:17 pm

The support for the INDIA bloc agitation led by Rahul Gandhi against Vote Chori is gaining momentum. Not only do we see several citizens coming out vocally in support of it, we are also seeing the international media take cognizance of it.  Now, don't let the momentum die down.

Let this not be just an event but a consistent demand of the citizen's right to a free, fair and transparent electoral process.  The ECI cannot just dismiss the allegations made by calling them "misleading".  The ECI needs to point by point dispel all the allegations made on the basis of their own data to show that there have been no voter additions. And the Opposition needs to keep up with the protests with the citizens continuing to voice out their questions. This might very well be the last chance one gets to protect democracy in the country. There will be distractions, a terrorist threat, a glorious claim of bravery at the border, a red alert, or other issues, but stick to your stand. Do not let go, take this movement  to it's logical conclusion.
