New Delhi [India], July 21 (ANI): Amid the INDIA bloc demanding a discussion on the Election Commission Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Bihar during the ongoing Monsoon Session of the Parliament, Union Minister & JD(U) MP Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh asked that how can a person who is not an Indian national cast their vote in India.
Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh said, Who is running away from a discussion on it? If you want to say that a person who is not a citizen of this country should cast his/her vote,..And then you roam around carrying a copy of the Constitution. They are talking against the Constitution. What is written in the Constitution? Whoever is a citizen of this country has to give evidence that he is a citizen of this country. How can a person who is not an Indian national cast their vote in India?
MoS and JD(U) MP Ram Nath Thakur said that those people who have the identification documents, their names will not be cut.
Ram Nath Thakur said, The Opposition work is to protest, but the government role is to take decisions. Those people who have the identification documents, their names will not be cut (from the voters list). Those who do not have documents, their names will be cut.
