New Delhi, March 22: Sharad Pawar, head of the Nationalist Congress Party will conduct a meeting of floor leaders of opposition parties in the Rajya Sabha at his residence in Delhi at 6 pm on 23 March to discuss the potency of the EVM (Electronic Voting Machine).
This development occurred after the Chief Election Commissioner pledged to address the concerns voiced by several political parties and members of civil society. According to Pawar, the gathering has been organised in the interest of free and fair elections and to hear the opinions of renowned IT experts and cryptographers. In the CCE Report, a number of crucial issues are brought up. The paper includes opinions from renowned professors of information technology, cryptographers, and former government officials.
Sharad Pawar wrote a letter to all opposition leaders proposing to discuss doubts concerning the efficacy of the Rural Electric Voting Machine (EVM).
Concerning the doubts regarding the possible manipulation of the EVM the civil society submitted a letter to ECI (Election Commission of India) in May 2022 and another reminder after two weeks (Annexure 3). Unfortunately, ECI (Election Commission of India) didn’t even acknowledge their letter.
