I am a Rajya Sabha MP. I strongly believe
every citizen has the right to vote. But I know that
our soldiers hardly vote.
It is almost
impossible for the 23 lakh soldiers who serve and protect us,
to participate in our democracy.
This is because the
Election Commission has not provided them good voting facilities. This is a national shame!
Poonam, you and I can change this reality.I have
started this petition asking the
Chief Election Commissioner, V. Sampath, to ensure that armed forces personnel are able to vote in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
Poonam, in the next few months,
you and I would be voting in the general elections. But, many of
our soldiers might not vote unless Mr. Sampath takes immediate action.
I know that if we show him that
several thousand Indians are demanding it from him, he will take action faster.
Join me in ensuring that our soldiers are able to vote easily in this election.
Sign my petition and
forward this email to your friends.
Let's ensure that our brave men and women in the armed forces can easily exercise their democratic right to vote.
Jai Hind.
