New Delhi [India], July 21 (ANI): Amid the INDIA bloc demanding a discussion on the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Bihar during the ongoing Monsoon Session of the Parliament, Union Minister & JD(U) MP Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh asked that how can a person who is not an Indian national cast their vote in India.
Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh said, "Who is running away from a discussion on it? If you want to say that a person who is not a citizen of this country should cast his/her vote,..And then you roam around carrying a copy of the Constitution. They are talking against the Constitution. What is written in the Constitution? Whoever is a citizen of this country has to give evidence that he is a citizen of this country. How can a person who is not an Indian national cast their vote in India?"
