Kiphire Tuensang Districts Sümi Students’ Union (KTDSSU) and Pungro Area College Students’ Union (PACSU) have clarified to Singrep Village Students’ Union (SVSU) and Phelunger Village Students’ Union (PVSU) that Election Commission of India (ECI) in a order dated February 27, 2015 has directed all CEOs of states/union territories to link Aadhaar with electoral roll.
A press note by KTDSSU president, Bothuka Yepthomi and PACSU president, Rasuka Jacob, pointed out that the joint representation submitted to CEO itself was an explanation to the directive of the ECI.
While appreciating the support of SVSU and PVSU on the demand of KTDSSU and PACSU on anomalies of electoral under Kiphire district, the union stated that the issue was a common issue and not the particular issue of KTDSSU and PACSU. The student bodies have clarified that it has no ulterior interest on this issue. KTDSSU and PACSU said the whole total electorate of particular area was not equivalent to the total electorate of two villages’ electorate under Kiphire district which it said was highly objectionable.
KTDSSU and PACSU said it would let the people of Kiphire district in particular and Nagaland in general to judge whether the officer concerned and the staffs of the election office, Kiphire was doing justice or not. KTDSSU and PACSU also warn the concerned authority about the consequences as per Central Government Act. Section 31 in the Representation of the People Act, 1950.
