"No vote"
Last week I went to my native village. My mother has not done any higher education like graduation or post graduation. But she is a conscious woman, I must say. This time we were talking about the voting system. She was talking about the 'no vote' system. She was very upset for not having 'no vote'. But now the government is going to introduce this process in the election. This process will help the people to express their views regarding the candidates. The Election Commission( EC) should launch a strong awareness campaign. About other restrictions, my opinion is that only making law will not help. Enough powers should be given to the EC. Again, it will be tough to ban other wings of a political party. However, the initiators deserve praise for amending 'The Representation of the People's Order 1972'.
