00:00This meeting that has just concluded at Nirvachan Bhavan where the united front of the CEC Gyanesh Kumar along with
00:08the two election commissioners so far was being projected as dissenting.
00:12But here is to say that all the decisions that were taken by the election commission of India on SIR
00:20were absolutely unanimous.
00:24The decisions were taken together and everyone's approval had been in place.
00:29Not just that, a slew of other announcements that include of an extension of date, the extension of the deadline
00:36that comes in.
00:37That is also to say that all the voters who need help of their BLOs or have any sort of
00:44complaint or want to take this matter, be it in Delhi or Maharashtra or even where Goa BLOs have been
00:52asked to conduct house visits to all the left out voters.
00:59So, there we see how the meeting has concluded the clarification that has come in from the election commission, a
01:05united front that has been projected by CEC Gyanesh Kumar and the two election commissioners.
01:12The opposition had been pushing the narrative that they are dissenting.
01:16However, this is for the election commission of India to say that there has never been any dissent except for
01:21usual deliberations that have happened and which is part of their work, which is part of the exercise.
01:27So, that is all that it was.
01:29That was never about anyone's approval not sought or all of them not being on the same page.
01:35That message from the election commission, BJP also supporting that very statement and we wait and watch how the opposition
01:42now responds to the clarification that has come in from the election commission of India.
01:46The BJP has certainly upped the ante as far as the opposition is concerned and the narrative being pushed by
01:55them.
01:56But the key EC meeting that has concluded amid the rift claims that had been projected so far, four key
02:03decisions that have been taken.
02:05One, that Delhi and Maharashtra have both extended the SIR deadlines to be able to aid voters or those who
02:15are facing any sort of a problem.
02:17They still have more time to do it.
02:19The second decision of, of course, Delhi, where the deadline to file claims has been extended till the 30th of
02:24October.
02:25Maharashtra, again, the deadline to file claims has been extended till the 12th of October.
02:30And the fourth decision of Gua BLOs, who will be conducting house visits to the left-out voters to ensure
02:38that if there is any documentation that needs completion or the help of the BLOs,
02:44then the election commission will certainly help out on that.
02:48So, that's the clarification that has come in from the election commission of India.
02:52These decisions have been conveyed.
02:54The extension of the dates have been conveyed.
02:56And also the very fact that the entire SIR procedure that was carried out was completely in accordance with the
03:04Supreme Court order.
03:05Was a unanimous decision that had been taken by the CEC and the election commissioners.
03:12There may have been usual deliberations that are part of the work.
03:16But there was no dissent, no differences of sorts that may have indicated to any sort of flaws that the
03:23opposition is stating as far as the SIR procedure is concerned.
03:32We'll try and get you further details also that statement that was made by Sambit Patra of the BJP.
03:38That news conference that happened just as soon as the meeting of the EC concluded.
03:44And the BJP also harping on this very picture that you see on your screens.
03:49A picture that puts out the message of unanimity of how the election commissioners along with the chief election commissioner
03:58are all on the same page to say that whether it was Bihar or it was West Bengal,
04:03the SIR orders were carried out exactly as per the Supreme Court order and the entire procedure that was exercised
04:14on the ground was in accordance and all the three were on the same page.
04:48Bhoorant Nirvachan Aiyoq
04:49In faisalon ki jaankari, ham aaj ke ECI press note ke madhyam se de rahe hain.
04:56Dhanyavad.
05:19The meeting that the election commission held with the cabinet secretary was not regarding any policy matter of the election
05:27commission of India, neither related to any IT department work.
05:32Ye election commission ke kisih policy matter par vishay nahi tha.
05:37Aur na hi IT department sambandit kisih vishay ko lekar woh cabinet secretary ke paas gaye tha.
