The villagers of a village are worried as soon as the voter list of Muzaffarpur district comes in front of the voter list. The case is to add the names of Muslim voters to the houses of Hindu families at many booths of Sakra assembly constituency. According to the villagers, no Muslims live in this village, yet the names of Muslims were added to their house address. There is a lot of resentment among the villagers after the matter came to light on Monday.

Both Hindu Muslims in the same house

The situation here is that both Hindu Muslims are voters in the same house, when it was investigated, it was found that the booth number 223 in the middle school Sahdullahpur with the voter Poonam Devi of House No. 2, Ladli Khatoon, husband- Mo. Islam is named. Ravindra Kumar, Seema Devi, Nisha Devi, Khushboo are named among the same family in house number 3, but Mo in the same list. Junaid, Father- Mo. Nazir Ali is named.

In house number 4, 4 Muslim names were given among a Hindu voter. A Muslim name has been found among the Hindu family in house number 10. Many disturbances have also come to light in the booths of Katesar Panchayat Bhavan. House numbers 36, 37 and 38 have included the names of 15 Muslim voters here, while the local people say that no Muslim families live there.

Local Awadhesh Thakur says that “There are no Muslim voters in our village, but Muslim names have been added to almost every house. Umesh Thakur whose house number is 50. His family has been living in Tajpur in Samastipur for the last 20 years. The house is vacant, but 7-8 Muslim names in the voter list have come from their address.

The same Vishambhar Thakur, House 39 has 6 Hindu voters, but now 8 Muslim names were also added to them. Another voter Lakshmi Sah whose house is 56. The names of 11 Muslim voters are recorded with 7 Hindu voters. Santosh Thakur, whose house number is 51, has added 6 Muslim names among 3 Hindu voters.

What does the villagers say about the disturbance?

Villagers say that “this is not just a mistake, it has been added under the conspiracy”. People in the village are saying that all this cannot be just a mistake, this has been done in a planned manner. If someone else’s name is left in our house, then tomorrow will make someone else claim on our property. Fake voting can be done at the time of elections. Till the disturbances are not right, we will boycott voting.

The villagers allege that they had complained to BLO Santosh Baitha about this matter, but no action was taken through them. Regarding the entire matter, BLO Renu Kumari of Ward 5 and 6 said, “I do not even know how this happened. The process of filling Form-8 has been started on the orders of BDO.”

BJP leader Shazia Ilmi has attacked the Congress fiercely with the announcement of Bihar bandh. He said that Bihar is closed tomorrow. We will not bear insult to the Prime Minister. Ilmi also targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and said that he is traveling to gain power and the Congress does not care about democracy.

Shazia Ilmi accused Pawan Kheda and his wife of having two EPIC cards and said that why the Congress does not act on it. He alleged that Tejashwi Yadav had two epic numbers in Bihar too. Ilmi says that the Congress party does vote robbery and the Election Commission should take action against the leaders. He questioned why Rahul Gandhi is silent on this issue.

Pawan Kheda may fall in trouble

Congress’s media department chief Pawan Kheda may get caught in trouble for being named in the voter list of two assemblies of Delhi. The Election Commission has sent a notice to them and sought a reply. Pawan Kheda admitted the name being in two voter lists, but also clarified that he has applied to remove the name from one place.

What will Pawan Kheda get punishment if the charge is proved?

If it was proved in front of the Election Commission that he deliberately gave wrong information, then he may have to bear a jail, fine or both under Section 31 of the Representation of People Act. Earlier, in the past, Bihar leader Tejashwi Yadav and Agriculture Minister Vijay Sinha have had a dispute over the name of two voter lists.

Amit Malviya offered evidence

BJP’s social media cell chief Amit Malviya presented evidence of being voters from Pawan Kheda’s Jangpura and New Delhi assembly constituencies. He also shared both the EPIC number and photocopy of the voter list released to Pawan Kheda on social media platform X.

Election Commission sent notice to Pawan Kheda

The Election Commission was not satisfied with the cleanliness of Pawan Kheda, after which the notice was issued to him in the evening. According to the Commission, to include the name in the voter list, Form 6 has to be filled, while it is necessary to fill Form 7 to transfer the name from one place to another. It is obvious that Pawan Kheda will have included his name in the voter list by filling the form in both places.

While filling Form 6, the voter has to sign the manifesto that his name is not in the voter list at any other place. Now Pawan Kheda will have to clarify his position on this. If it has been proved that he filled Form 6 in both places and included his name, then an FIR can be registered against him under the Representation of People Act. In Section 31 of this law, there is a provision of punishment in the event of deliberately giving wrong information.

Pawan Kheda replied on Election Commission notice

Pawan Kheda, stating that the notice of the Election Commission was motivated by politics, alleged that Rahul Gandhi had handed over the list of more than one lakh suspected voters from Mahadevpura in Karnataka to the Election Commission, but no action was taken on it. Now, according to him, under the pressure of BJP, the Election Commission is issuing notice to them.
