The Quint - Story Reads

Not your conventional podcasts, but a straight text-to-audio readout of The Quint's text stories – news, opinion, satire and more.

Women’s Entry Into Mosques: Does Religious Freedom Trump Equality?

After The Quint’s article, published on 31 May, pointed out discrepancies in the EVM votes polled and votes counted data in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the Election Commission of India (EC) issued a press release on their website on 1 June. The release was not a rebuttal to The Quint’s article, rather a generic statement explaining how the EC compiles EVM votes polled data during elections.

When we examined the EC’s press release, we found that some of the information was less than convincing.

“In 2014, it took between 2 to 3 months after the declaration of results to collect and collate such data in authenticated form,” said the EC’s press release. When we checked, we found that EVM votes polled data existed on the EC’s website by 25 May 2014, while the results were declared on 16 May 2014 – that’s a period of nine days, not two-three months.

Is EC Misleading Public On How EVM Votes Polled Data Is Compiled?

A day after a Bengaluru-based promoter of an investment group went absconding along with Rs 2,000 crore raised by the company, claiming ‘political pressure’, the investment scam is becoming a political controversy.

Over 3,000 investors of I Monetary Advisory (IMA) have been left in a lurch after the promoter of the group, Mohammed Mansoor Khan, went absconding and claimed he would commit suicide, in an audio clip.

The scam took a political turn, when in the same voice note he accused Congress MLA Roshan Baig of taking Rs 400 crore from IMA to contest general election, which he didn’t return.

A Special Investigation Team has been ordered to probe the case.
