The Unjust Cruelty that We Were Done

It will need a long discussion to describe an unjust cruelty that our Indian government treated a large part of its population with. The Election Commission is assertive that what it has ordered is perfectly constitutional and lawful. But scratch a little and the truth appears as clear as daylight. In fact , the so called SIR ( Special Intensive Revision of Voters List) is a tool with which the ruling party at the Central Government is aiming at defeating the party of the state government. In other words, Bhartya Janata Party of Mr Narendra Modi wants to get possession of West Bengal what it has failed to do last thirty years. It believes it is because the minority voters ( Muslim and Christian) never vote for BJP . By SIR millions of minority voters now find their names either deleted or under adjudication. They will have to line up at government offices prescribed to present their documents in proof of their citizenship. The number of such people is said to be about 70, 00,000.
Three members of my family also were part of the long queue at one such office. And when the voters list was published we found two names stamped "DELETED" upon them. We ran helter and skelter, took advice from all people possible. Only possible way, we were told was to get registered as new voters. The cruel joke of it, we found ourselves in line with eighteen year old boys and girls. ( When we parents are already senior citizens and our daughter is in her mid twenties).
The state elections are scheduled to be on April 23 and 29. Can those millions under adjudication be included in the voters list by that time? Many, many think they won't be able to vote this time and perhaps even in future.
If it's not unjust, what can it be?

That is not right at all. I am sorry that has happened.
