A Head of the Assembly elections in Delhi, likely to be held in
November this year, some politicians are leaving no stone unturned to
ensure their victory, albeit through foul means. Though, with the
changing time and technology it has almost become impossible to capture
the booth or adopt other illegal means during the polling, some of the
politicians are burning the midnight oil to find loopholes in the
existing system. It came to light with the sudden surface of over 10
lakh bogus voters requesting inclusion of their names in the voters
list. Surprisingly, these 10 lakh voters surfaced only within last
three weeks of June.

The scam involving some politicians was unearthed by the
Election Commission itself. On the complaints of Chief Electoral
Officer Satinder Silas Bedi, Delhi Police registered 100 FIRs against
bogus voters and more cases are likely to be registered in coming days.

SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Tens of thousands of Kashmiris filled the
streets for a fourth day of protests Thursday, after police killings
during earlier demonstrations enflamed their anger over the transfer of
land to a Hindu shrine in this Muslim-majority region.

Protesters
clashed with riot police in several parts of Srinagar, the main city of
India's portion of Kashmir. Police responded to rock-throwers by firing
live ammunition and tear gas into the air in an attempt to disperse the
mobs, said police officer Sajjad Ahmed.

More than 20,000 people
were protesting in towns across the Himalayan state, Ahmed said, and
thousands of police and paramilitary soldiers were spread out to
control the angry mobs.

No injuries were immediately reported Thursday.

New Delhi, Lucknow, June 24: CPM
Politburo member M K Pandhe today tried to claim he didn’t mean to
inject a “communal” twist in the nuclear deal debate. But his remark
that “an overwhelming majority of the Muslim masses” oppose the nuclear
deal and that Mulayam Singh Yadav should think twice before supporting
it sparked off a chorus of outrage from Muslim organisations and
leaders to the Samajwadi Party itself. ain from virtually all
Muslim leaders The Indian Express spoke to was: the CPM’s attempt to
communalise foreign policy was condemnable and, yes, some Muslim groups
are opposed to the nuclear deal with the United States but that has
nothing to do with their being Muslim. Remarks like these, they said,
only end up alienating Muslims further by reinforcing the stereotype
that Muslims have to “prove” their loyalty to the “national interest”
every time there is a debate over it.
