Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has thanked President Draupadi Murmu after meeting him.
Rahul Gandhi said, "We gave a memorandum to the President and said that Amit Shah and Gyanesh Kumar conspired to end the democracy of the country. I was thinking that the President would say that elections are not stolen. But the President listened to us. He did not deny our views. We were surprised. He did not say that elections are not being stolen in India."
Before this, opposition MPs held a meeting and marched towards Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Opposition parties allege that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has misused his position. He says that through Special Intensive Revision (SIR), the rights of voters in the country are being snatched away and votes are being stolen. He has also alleged collusion between Gyanesh Kumar and BJP.
However, the Election Commission is continuously rejecting these allegations of the opposition parties. The Commission says that through SIR, the records of those people in the voter list who have changed their address and moved to another place or who have died are being updated.
At the same time, BJP is alleging that Congress and other opposition parties are weakening the democracy of the country by defaming the Election Commission.
Rahul Gandhi said- 'Will also go to Supreme Court'
Coming out of Rashtrapati Bhavan, Rahul Gandhi said, "We have to provide evidence of election theft. I said that the entire country knows that elections are being stolen."
He said, "We told the President that Narendra Modi is the architect of vote theft and Amit Shah and Gyanesh Kumar are the ones who will carry it out. The President listened to our words carefully."
Rahul Gandhi said, "Earlier when we had gone to meet the Chief Election Commissioner, we were detained and beaten. Now we have gone to the President. On Monday, we will go to the Supreme Court with this memorandum. We will adopt all avenues."
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said, "We had gone to tell the President about vote theft. All this is happening because of Gyanesh Kumar. We have demanded removal of EVMs and holding elections through ballot paper."
Kharge said, "She has asked for evidence of vote theft. We are collecting that evidence. She listened to us carefully and said that she will take a decision after talking to the people concerned."
Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was also included in the delegation of opposition parties.
She said, "The President has said, 'I will conduct an investigation. I want evidence.' We and Rahul ji said that we will submit the evidence. The country is very worried and you are its guardian. In this regard, please pay attention to this, so that the democracy of the country is preserved."
Opposition demonstration continues
India Alliance MPs held a meeting in the Central Hall of Parliament on Friday evening. After the meeting, opposition MPs including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi took out a march towards Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Earlier on October 6, MPs had taken out 'Save Democracy March'. After this, on October 7, while going to protest at Jantar Mantar, he was stopped on the way.
At the same time, on October 8, opposition MPs took out a march from Connaught Place to Rajghat.
In fact, in a report of the English newspaper Indian Express, it was said that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar had taken many decisions related to SIR without the consent of the other two Election Commissioners.
The Election Commission had given clarification on this report, but this did not end the opposition parties' protests.
Rahul Gandhi has been accusing the Election Commission of vote theft for a long time. However, after the report of Indian Express, this issue became more politically heated.
Apart from the opposition parties, Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has also demanded the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar and ending the SIR process completely.
CJP is going to protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on Saturday regarding its demands. However, the police has not given him permission for this.
CJP's performance
Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has claimed that 10 thousand of its supporters have been detained by the police across the country.
