Should NRI be given political
rights- voting in elections
?
There are over 22 million Indians living outside
India.They can be an important lobby to advocate Indian causes
in the country of their residence. They can influence the
government of the nation where they live. In return the government
of India is extending them many concessions like purchase
of property, admissions to Indian educational institutions,
investment in India.
Dual citizenship have
been approved these Pravasis or political rights extended
to them or not "is an issue which has to be widely debated
in the country. Should NRI voting in elections favour such
a decision?
- Before we consider permitting the NRIs
to vote, let us first make it easier to vote for the NRIs
from abroad. NRIs are also to be given the VIC to enable
them to vote in their constituency by Internet or by some
other easier way. The need is to enable and not create obstacles
in voting.
- There are stronger and fundamental reasons
not to permit NRIs the right to vote. If NRIs can vote,
can we prohibit them from forming a political party of their
own to contest elections? If NRIs can vote, why can't they
be given the right to hold public office?
- By giving NRIs voting rights does it may
pose national security threat to India.
- Is it possible that other Countries send
a coalition of NRIs Political parties to rule India without
taking recourse to conquering India.
It is true that NRCs invest far more in China
than PIOs invest in India. We must remember that the rest
of the world also invests far more in China than it does in
India.
