Jammu:
The National Conference and the PDP on Thursday alleged that uniformed personnel coerced people to vote for the BJP and EVMs malfunctioned in some places with the Congress button not working during the first phase of polling in Jammu's Poonch area.

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti tweeted a video showing voters raising anti-BJP slogans after they were purportedly roughed up by the BSF for not voting for the BJP.

"A voter at polling booth in Jammu was manhandled by the BSF because he refused to cast his vote for BJP. Using armed forces at polling stations to coerce people to vote for the BJP shows their desperation & hunger to usurp power by hook or crook," she said in her tweet.

The National Conference's Jammu provincial president Davinder Singh Rana also registered his protest on the issue. According to him, a uniformed officer coerced voters in Poonch's Arai Malka area to vote for the BJP.

A local administration official reached the spot and the uniformed officer has been removed following complaints by the voters, he said.

National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah posted a video of presiding officer from Poonch area explaining the malfunctioning of an EVM button.

Assuring that voting, which was stalled in some polling booths in Poonch region, would soon resume, the presiding officer was asked which button was not working.

"Haath ka button (button showing hand)," he said.

The hand is the election symbol of Congress party.

Such misguided actions should have action taken against them by the Central Election Commission and the Supreme Court.

Indian “democracy” is no different to the Pakistani “democracy”. Democracy barely exists in the world let alone in the third world country like India. The Sheppard have the whistle and the dog to shape the herd way.

Do not even let me get into the "courts"..

That is true...But it is also true that such kind of minor incidents happen in many other polling votes in India

I would say that not all Kashmiris want a separate homeland. Consider the many students, seasonal hawkers and shopkeepers from Kashmir who are in various parts of India.
