Letter Published in The National Uae on 7April 14
Why can't Indian expatriates vote?I am sad to know that Indian expatriates in the UAE will be unable to exercise their franchise this time despite promises made by the government earlier. Many voluntary organisations in India have been trying to raise awareness about the importance of voting. But I fail to understand why there is no pressure on the government to allow millions of Indians living abroad to vote, especially at a time when India needs a change more than ever.
