Former Bureaucrats Urge Civil Servants to Uphold Constitution Amid Voter Roll Concerns
A group of former civil servants, the Constitutional Conduct Group (CCG), has urged current bureaucrats to uphold constitutional values and resist partisan pressures. They criticized the Election Commission's recent special intensive revision (SIR) of voter rolls, describing it as unprecedented and potentially disenfranchising millions by shifting the burden of proof onto citizens and using lineage to determine voting rights. The CCG expressed concern over the decline of democratic dialogue and the labeling of dissent as 'anti-national,' calling for adherence to due process and the Constitution.
