Supreme Court to Scrutinise Electoral Rolls: Citizenship Concerns Raised
A significant plea has been filed in the Supreme Court, demanding a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across the nation. The petition alleges substantial demographic shifts, primarily attributed to illegal immigration.
The petitioner argues this necessitates a thorough review to guarantee only eligible Indian citizens participate in future elections. The plea highlights concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.
This matter will be heard alongside existing challenges to the Election Commission’s recent decision to conduct a SIR in Bihar. The court’s decision will have wide-ranging implications.
The Supreme Court’s ruling will be crucial in determining the fairness and transparency of electoral processes across India, impacting the very foundation of our democracy. The outcome will set a precedent for future electoral reforms and address anxieties surrounding voter identification.
