New Delhi [India], October 12 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding a special session of Parliament to discuss alleged 'vote-chori', the deletion of over 13 crore names from voter lists and the police crackdown on protesters demanding Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar's resignation.

In his letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh called for a special session of Parliament at the earliest to deliberate on vote-chori, reports of over 13 crore names being removed from voter lists, and the growing instances of police action, intimidation and detention of citizens exercising their democratic rights.

Sanjay Singh has stated, "The large-scale deletion of voters' names in the name of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) has raised serious concerns about the integrity, transparency and fairness of our electoral process. Allegations that names have been wrongly deleted on such a massive scale require clarification, accountability and extensive discussion in Parliament. Every eligible citizen must be able to exercise their constitutional right to vote without fearing that they will be deprived of it."

He added, "Peaceful protests against vote-chori in New Delhi have also called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Protesters have raised questions about the fairness of the electoral process, citing irregularities in the revision of voter lists. These concerns must be addressed transparently, and the Election Commission must be held accountable for maintaining its independence and ensuring free and fair elections."

Sanjay Singh said it was equally concerning that incidents had been reported in which Members of Parliament, political leaders, party workers, journalists, lawyers, students and other protesters were detained, manhandled and subjected to excessive force. "Allegations that women protesters were forcibly dragged and mistreated, including instances of misconduct by male police personnel, were particularly serious and required accountability," he noted.
