The Election Commission of India has sought an urgent report from Goa’s Chief Electoral Officer on the complaint seeking the immediate deletion of the name of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar from the electoral roll of Panaji Assembly Constituency.
Acting on the fax received from the Election Commission of India the Goa’s Chief Electoral Officer has directed the Panaji Deputy Collector and Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) to submit within 24 hours a detailed report. The attention of the Chief Election Commissioner had been drawn that the name of Manohar Parrikar had been fraudulently enrolled in the Panaji Assembly Constituency at Serial No 412 in Part No 8 showing his residential address as House No 157, Opposite Pharmacy College in Panaji. It has been pointed out that Manohar Parrikar has never ever resided at that address and that he had fraudulently in connivance and collusion with the staff in the election office manipulated and managed to get his name illegally enrolled after making a false and misleading declaration. While seeking the deletion of Manohar Parrikar’s name from the Panaji electoral roll also demanded is that legal proceedings for perjury amongst other offences be initiated against Manohar Parrikar as making a false declaration is an offence punishable under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act 1950. Also sought is deterrent action against the staff in the election office who in connivance and collusion with Manohar Parrikar allowed his name to be illegally enrolled in the Panaji electoral roll on a fake residential address.
