Farooq Abdullah Questions EVM Integrity, Cites Past Cabinet Concerns

Former J&K CM and National Conference President Farooq Abdullah questions EVM. He says, “When this voting machine (EVM) was brought, I was the CM of Jammu and Kashmir and in the cabinet, we had asked whether ‘chori’ (hacking) can be done in this machine? And they said yes it can be done. Then what was the need to bring this machine? This is our mistake. Today we are shouting ‘Machine chor hai’, who will listen to it. We should have made the Election Commission independent, but we did not do so.”
