Voter ID more powerful than IED, says PM Modi after casting vote

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday said the voter ID (identity card) is more powerfulthan the IED (improvised explosive device) of terrorists. He was speaking after casting his vote during the single-phase polling for Lok Sabha in his home state Gujarat. After casting his vote, Modi walked some distance from the polling booth and interacted briefly with mediapersons. "Indian democracy presents an example before the world. While on one hand, an IED (improvised explosive device) is the weapon of terrorists, on the other hand, the voter ID (identity) is the weapon and power of democracy," he said.
