Questions raised on the country's election system and inclusivity

Journalist pritish nandy has raised questions about India's inclusivity and the integrity of the country's electoral system ahead of the 2022 presidential election. Nandi said in a tweet that while a tribal woman is becoming the President of the country for the first time, will any Muslim become the prime minister or the President? This means that this will never happen. Nandi, in a tweet on July 17, has tried to show the lack of diversity by making such a comment on the supreme election office of India.

Give example of US and UK

Nandi said that Kamala harris, an Indian-origin woman, is the Vice President of America. An Indian-origin man (Rishi Sunak, likely UK PM) is going to be the UK's prime minister, but will an Indian-born Muslim ever again become the prime minister or president of India? Nandi fuels the controversy by asking if you can make 1 in every 7 indians ineligible for high political office?

However, there have also been reactions to Nandi's question.

There have also been some reactions on the media on Nandi's question. It said that not only the BJP, but before that the congress also appointed two Muslim presidents - zakir hussain (1967–1969) and fakhruddin ali ahmed (1974–1977). Along with this, the country's most beloved President APJ Abdul Kalam, made by the BJP, was also mentioned. At the same time, attention was also drawn to the tenure of Sikh President Giani Zail Singh (1982–1987) and Sikh prime minister Manmohan Singh (2004–2014) as well as Muslim Vice President Hamid Ansari (now in controversy).

Now know the mathematics of presidential election

For the election of the 15th President, NDA's draupadi murmu and opposition's Yashwant Sinha are candidates. Counting will take place on July 21. According to the support of the parties, draupadi murmu is set to become the President. Murmu's candidature was announced on june 21. At that time the nda had 5,63,825 which means 52% of the votes. Whereas with 24 opposition parties, 4,80,748 or 44% of the votes were considered in Sinha's account. But later Murmu went further as several non-NDA parties came out in support. If all the 10,86,431 votes are cast, Murmu is expected to get over 6.67 lakh (61%) votes. While Sinha's votes will be reduced to 4.19 lakh. 5,40,065 votes are needed to win.

Now read the comments on some social media

Hey Preeti, is there any chance that you can become the President of saudi arabia or United Arab Emirates or qatar or at least bangladesh or pakistan or even Afghanistan? @TruthCantHid

Kamala harris is an American citizen, Rishi Sunak is a british citizen. They have come to their posts not on the basis of origin but on the basis of merit. Let all indians be in leading positions on the basis of merit irrespective of religion, caste and creed. Senior journalists like you should not make divisive statements. @prettypadmaja
