‘Have urged collegium to vote in best interest of country’

Opposition's presidential candidate Meira Kumar on Monday said she has requested members of the electoral college to "heed the inner voice of their conscience" and vote in the best interest of the country.

"Today is a very important day as the collegium will take a decision. I have become a candidate in this contest to fight the battle of ideology," Kumar told reporters.

"This ideology is of social justice, inclusiveness, secularism, transparency, freedom of expression, freedom of press and total destruction of the caste system. This is the ideology which binds India together. So it is very important that we protect and preserve it," said Kumar.
