One more step closer! NRI can vote soon: Manmohan Singh

Here is what PM Manmohan Singh said on Pravasi Bharatiya Divas-2010:

“I recognise the legitimate desire of Indians living abroad to exercise their franchise and to have a say in who governs India,” the Prime Minister told the annual conclave for the Indian diaspora.

“We are working on this issue and I sincerely hope that they will get a chance to vote by the time of the next regular general elections,” he said at the eighth edition of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas.
