Oh my dear God! Quite a lot of support exists for Vijay abroad - I have seen posters and banners even in Kilinochchi and in Malaysia. The question is: how many of these people were foreign citizens who came to India, and voted? There are quite a few candidates who lost by wafer thin margins, the best case being that of @OfficeOfKRP in Tirupathur. Of these detained 25 persons, did one vote in Tirupathur ? If yes, it calls, at the very least for a re-election. I hear 10 of these foreigners (largely and sadly, IT professionals), have been remanded to custody. @arivalayam should seek from the FRRO details of all Indian-origin persons landing in India one month before election. In the interest of national security, I am sure the @BJP4India government will provide this detail and set right this ridiculous anomaly. I request the FRRO to advise the almost-always grumpy Immigration officials to tell arriving Indian-origin OCI holders to NOT vote in Indian elections. They should be made aware that this is a criminal offence which carries significant jail time. Most of them have never seen a civics text book. Lastly, please @narendramodi, now that you have won the West Bengal elections, kindly sack the most inefficient Chief Election Commissioner of all time, Gyanesh Kumar, before he plays further havoc on Indian elections. Make him President or anything else. Kindly stop the disenfranchisement of Indian citizens and the addition of foreigners to the Electoral rolls.
