Sonia employed hackers to hack EVM’s – Subramanian Swamy

 Statement of Dr. Subramanian Swamy, President of the Janata Party.

 I condemn the arrest and remand sought by the Maharashtra police of Mr. Hari Prasad, a software engineer from Hyderabad, on the bogus charge of having stolen an electronic voting machine (EVM). Mr. Hari Prasad had accompanied me to the Election Commission on September 3, 2009 to help demonstrate that the EVMs can be rigged contrary to the boast of the then Chief Election Commissioner Mr. Navin Chawla.

 In these proceedings which were videotaped by the Election Commission, Mr. Prasad came very close to demonstrating that the EVMs can be easily rigged to favour one political party or another. The Election Commission aborted the meeting at that stage and said that they needed further permission from the then Chief Election Commissioner Mr. Navin Chawla to continue, but assured us that they will fix another date soon.

Till now no such date has been fixed. In the meantime my Writ Petition on the tamperability of the EVMs is being heard by the Delhi High Court. The next date of hearing is August 25, 2010.

The Maharashtra police have obviously acted on instructions from the Election Commission of India to arrest Hari Prasad. The charge that the electronic voting machine was stolen is absurd because no elections were going at that stage nor was this machine obtained during an election period. Therefore, the Union Law Minister must now intervene and see that Mr. Hari Prasad is set free immediately.

 Moreover, Mr. Prasad along with Mr. V.V. Rao had obtained directions from the Supreme Court of India to the Election Commission to consider their various points that they were making in their Writ Petition on EVMs riggability.

 Hence the charge made by the Maharashtra police of stealing is contrived an attempt to terrify Mr. Prasad from exposing the fraud in EVMs any further. It is my charge that Ms Sonia Gandhi employed a number of US-based NRI software engineers who had served jail terms for hacking bank accounts to help her hack the EVMs so that theCongress party could contrive a majority in 2009 General Elections . Now she is hoping to instal her son as the Prime Minister in the next elections based on rigging of EVMs. Hence this panic regarding expose of the electronic voting machines.
