TMC MPs hold protest against EVMs on parliament premises

New Delhi, June 24

TMC MPs are holding a sit-in in front of Mahatma Gandhi’s statue on the Parliament’s premises, demanding that election be held by ballot paper instead of the electronic voting machines (EVMs).

The party, which has been crying foul over the use of EVMs in the recently-concluded Lok Sabha polls, on Monday said their agenda for the protest was—‘No to EVMs, Yes to Paper Ballots’.

TMC chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had earlier raised questions over the EVMs used in the polls and urged opposition parties to demand the return of ballot papers.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo said a fact-finding committee should be constituted to find out the details about the EVMs used in the recent polls. PTI
