Big breaking:

Election Commission of India broke its own rules & shared photos & addresses of all residents of NE Delhi with the police after the February 2020 pogrom.

Entire voter lists with photos were handed over illegally to enable “identification” of people.

The 1st line of the order itself admits that voter lists shared with police CANNOT contain photos.

ECI broke these rules & made these full voter lists WITH PHOTOS available to police after the Delhi pogrom.

This is an easy way to identify minorities living in any area.

The @SpokespersonECI should clarify - why was this done against rules?

Scores of young Muslim innocent men were picked up by police arbitrarily.

Are voter lists with photos being shared in other places too for building a “facial recognition” database?

THIS IS SERIOUS!
