Officials recover over 40 voter ID cards from garbage site near Union Minister's residence in MP; probe underway
Tikamgarh (Madhya Pradesh): A controversy has erupted after more than 40 voter identity cards were found abandoned near the official residence of Union Minister Virendra Kumar Khatik in Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday. According to information, the voter ID cards were recovered from the garbage lying near the Union Minister's residence located in Civil Lines area in Tikamgarh district. Several of the cards were found to be charred, indicating a possible attempt to destroy them. Who exactly noticed the voter ID cards lying at a garbage site near the Union Minister's residence is yet to be ascertained as the investigation is underway. Sources told IANS that the Minister's representative Vivek Chaturvedi had informed the district administration about the finding. Chaturvedi also urged authorities to scrutinise whether the voter IDs had been misused in government health schemes. Upon receiving information, a team of the district administration reached the spot and the voter ID cards were seized. Officials said that many of the voter ID cards recovered from the garbage were either damaged or burnt. Officials also said that they are probing the possible misuse of these voter ID cards. Following the complaint, Collector Vivek Shrotriya ordered a comprehensive probe into how the cards surfaced near the minister's bungalow. Tehsildar Satyendra Singh Gurjar talking to media persons said, "Recovered voter ID cards would be submitted to the Election Commission's office and further investigation would be initiated accordingly." Gurjar further stated that the finding of the cards in such a condition raises serious concerns over their potential fraudulent use. Investigators are now working to trace the origins of the voter IDs, verify the identities linked to them and determine whether they were employed in any illegal activity. Notably, senior BJP leader Virendra Kumar Khatik, who is a Lok Sabha MP from Tikamgarh, is serving as Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment. He was in New Delhi as the Monsoon Session of Parliament is underway, sources told IANS.

Bangladesh general polls to be held in Feb, Election roadmap this week
Dhaka, Aug 20 (UNI) Bangladesh will hold its 13th parliamentary elections in February next year, with the Election Commission expected to release a detailed action plan within the week. Election Commission Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed told state-run Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) that a draft of the election roadmap has been prepared and will soon be submitted for final approval. He said the plan will focus on inter-departmental coordination and operational issues to ensure smooth conduct of the polls. The announcement comes amid doubts raised by political parties over whether elections will be held on schedule. Leaders of the National Citizen Party (NCP) have argued that polls cannot take place without key reforms and the completion of trials initiated by the interim government. Reaffirming the government's commitment, Law Adviser Asif Nazrul said that preparations for the polls were moving ahead as planned. 'The polls will be held in February, and the government's stance on this remains firm,' he told reporters after a Cabinet Division meeting. Interim Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus' administration has repeatedly stressed that the upcoming elections will be the "most transparent and credible in Bangladesh's history", despite scepticism from opposition parties. Nazrul downplayed such statements, calling them part of Bangladesh's political tradition. 'You have always seen this. Traditionally in Bangladesh, political parties make such comments. The same is happening now. There has not been any major qualitative change in this discourse. Ultimately, the responsibility for conducting elections lies with the government, not political parties,' the local newspaper quoted him as saying. Notably, protests last August toppled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, bringing an end to 15 years of Awami League rule. Hasina fled to India after weeks of student-led demonstrations escalated into a nationwide uprising against her government's authoritarian practices. Yunus, appointed caretaker leader soon after Hasina's ouster, initially suggested June 2026 as a possible date for the polls. But under pressure from opposition groups including the BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, and the NCP, he revised the timeline, pledging elections before Ramadan in February 2026. 'For many years, none of us have been able to vote,' the 85-year-old said in a televised address. 'This time, we will all vote. No one will be left out. Let us all be able to say, 'I cast my vote to set the country on the path to building a new Bangladesh.'' Yunus also unveiled the 'July Declaration,' which pledges to enshrine the student-led uprising against Hasina in the constitution. UNI XC AAB ARN
