Qaumi tanaza
Karnataka, is amal ke teesre marhale mein shamil 19 soobon aur union territories mein se aik hai, jo 2025 mein Bihar se shuru hua tha. India ki Supreme Court ne May mein is nazar-e-sani ko barqarar rakha, lekin kaha ke is se Election Commission ko yeh faisla karne ka ikhtiyar nahin milta ke Bharti shehri kaun hai. Scroll ne khabar di ke Bharatiya Janata Party ki hukumat wale kuch soobon ne phir bhi is nazar-e-sani ko fehrist se nikaale gaye logon ko ration cards dene se inkar karne ke liye istemal kiya hai, aur kuch muamlat mein police ne passport renewal ki clearance dene se inkar kiya hai.
2 October se poore India mein Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar ke istifa ke mutalbe par ehtijaj kiye ja rahe hain. Jis din Karnataka ki voter list jari ki gayi, Supreme Court ne un muqadmon mein petitioners ko Election Commission ko jawab dene ke liye 10 din ka waqt diya jin mein Kumar ke tarz-e-amal par sawal uthaya gaya hai, un ke khilaf tehqeeqat ka mutalba kiya gaya hai aur mulk bhar mein ki ja rahi nazar-e-sani ko ghair qanooni qarar dene ki istida ki gayi hai. Scroll ke hawale se di gayi aik report ke mutabiq, commission ne tijarati raazon ka hawala de kar us software ka naam batane se bhi inkar kar diya hai jo voter lists mein ghaltiyon ki nishandehi ke liye istemal kiya gaya.
Opposition ke INDIA bloc ne 30 October ko Kumar ke "awami mawakhaza" ka mansooba banaya hai, aur Congress party ne ahalkaron par ilzam lagaya hai ke woh is ki raah mein rukawatein daal rahe hain.
