Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.

Senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, on Wednesday, assailed all the opposition parties including the Congress for raising questions over tampering of Electronic Voting Machines. He said the opposition parties want to “discredit” democracy as they are unable to digest “defeat of the dynasty”.

While talking to reporters, Union minister of minority affairs said, “the glamour of victory and grace in defeat should be two sides of the same coin for those who believe in democracy. The way the Congress and its allies are putting on a horror show over their defeat, makes it clear that these political parties want to make the country's democratic and constitutional system a means of convenience.”

Naqvi further said political parties that are continuously trying to create an atmosphere of mistrust on EVMs, had discussed the issue of credibility of EVMs and the election process for several hours in Parliament and they failed to present any logic or fact against the EVMs.
