Controversial order on registration of new voters in Jammu withdrawn amid backlash

Though no reason was specified for the withdrawal of the order, the step followed an outrage by almost all prominent political parties in Jammu and Kashmir except the BJP.

Though no reason was specified for the withdrawal of the order, the step followed an outrage by almost all prominent political parties in Jammu and Kashmir except the BJP.

The Jammu administration has withdrawn its earlier order authorising tehsildars (revenue officials) to issue certificates of residence to those residing in the winter capital for more than a year to enable their registration as voters.
Though no reason was specified for the withdrawal of the order, the step followed an outrage by almost all prominent political parties in Jammu and Kashmir except the BJP.
"The order stands withdrawn," a senior official told PTI on Thursday.
On Tuesday, District Election Officer and Deputy Commissioner, Jammu, Avny Lavasa issued the order on electoral rolls after taking serious note of some eligible voters facing hardships in registration as voters for non-availability of required documents.
The Special Summary Revision of electoral rolls has been started in the Union Territory with effect from September 15 for registration of new voters, deletion, correction, transposition of voters who have migrated or died since the last summary revision.
Reacting to the development, senior CPI(M) leader and PAGD spokesperson M Y Tarigami questioned the issuance of such an order in the first place.
"Firstly, it is surprising that such an unwarranted order was issued. If the order is revoked, a copy should be immediately shared with the public," the Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) leader told PTI.
He said the government machinery must be careful about the sensitivities of the electoral process and "there should be no attempt whatsoever to manipulate this legitimate democratic process".
The PAGD, headed by National Conference president Farooq Abdullah, had on Saturday announced the formation of a 14-member committee to chalk out a strategy on the issue of any attempt of manipulation and inclusion of non-locals in the revised electoral rolls.
The panel has members from the five PAGD constituents and several other political parties such as the Congress, the Shiv Sena, the Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan Party (DSSP) and the Dogra Sadar Sabha (DSS).

The opposition is up in arms against a bill on electoral reforms which seeks to link electoral rolls with Aadhaar.
The government introduced the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill in Lok Sabha on Monday,
The government has maintained that the linking of Aadhaar with the electoral rolls will weed out duplicacy.
But the opposition is no mood to accept the argument.
Demanding the rollback of the bill, Congress MP Manish Tewari said that Aadhaar Act does not allow for Aadhaar to be linked to electoral rolls.
Pointing out that Aadhaar only meant to be proof of residence, and not citizenship, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said that the provision will "potentially giving the vote to non-citizens".
"Aadhaar only meant to be proof of residence, it's not proof of citizenship. If you're in a position asking Aadhaar for voters, all you're getting is a document that reflects residence, not citizenship. You're potentially giving the vote to non-citizens," Tharoor said.
The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021 seeks to allow electoral registration officers to seek Aadhaar number of people who want to register as voters "for the purpose of establishing the identity".
It also seeks to allow the electoral registration officers to ask for Aadhaar number from "persons already included in the electoral roll for the purposes of authentication of entries in electoral roll, and to identify registration of name of the same person in the electoral roll of more than one constituency or more than once in the same constituency".
At the same time, the amendment bill makes it clear that "no application for inclusion of name in the electoral roll shall be denied and no entries in the electoral roll shall be deleted for inability of an individual to furnish or intimate Aadhaar number due to such sufficient cause as may be prescribed".
Such people will be allowed to furnish other alternative documents as may be prescribed.
