    This is the first time I’ve read about the option of NOTA. Thank you for the very informative & balanced article, especially on Kashmir from Kashmiris perspectives.

    The people who wanted to vote were intimidated by extreme violence in terms of stone pelting and terrorist strikes. The government was unable to provide a secure atmosphere for voting. In a peaceful atmosphere there would have been a large scale voter turnout. Pakistan sponsored terrorism and hooliganism was manifested in its worst form during these elections. My family wanted to excercise our democratic franchise but we were too scared to come out and vote. An elderly person of our locality was beaten to pulp by separatist and terrorist gang after casting his vote.
