๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ gets reply from tech expert Neeraj Walia
A viral video from a recent protest has triggered a debate on the security of India's ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฉ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ (๐๐ฉ๐ ๐). In the clip, a protester at Cockroach Janta Party protest, claimed that he could hack EVMs by simply fixing โthree syntax errorsโ in the code. According to him, the process would be easy and could be done without much difficulty.
The statement quickly attracted attention online, with many users questioning whether the claim made any technical sense. The video spread across social media platforms, leading to discussions among programmers, engineers, and political commentators.

Among those who reacted was content creator and tech expert ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ท ๐ช๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ฎ. Responding to the viral statement, he argued that the protester appeared to misunderstand what a ๐ฆ๐๐ป๐๐ฎ๐
๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฟ actually is.
Walia pointed out that a syntax error is a basic coding mistake that is normally detected during software development. In most programming environments, software containing syntax errors cannot be successfully compiled or built into a working program. Because of this, he argued that a device running software would not typically contain unresolved syntax errors in the first place.
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ป๐๐ฎ๐
๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฟ?
A ๐ฆ๐๐ป๐๐ฎ๐
๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฟ occurs when code does not follow the rules of a programming language. Common examples include missing brackets, incorrect punctuation, or invalid commands. Such errors are usually caught before software is deployed on a machine.
However, cybersecurity experts often note that a system can still contain ๐น๐ผ๐ด๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ณ๐น๐ฎ๐๐, ๐๐๐น๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐, or security weaknesses even when it has no syntax errors.

The viral exchange has highlighted the importance of understanding technical terms before making strong claims about complex systems. Whether one supports or opposes EVMs, many users believe that discussions about election technology should be based on ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐, ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ, and evidence rather than slogans.
