South Goa Congress MP Viriato Fernandes has alleged receiving a notice from the Election Commission of India (ECI) asking him to prove his identity to remain on the electoral rolls. Fernandes, a former Navy officer, stated this scrutiny of an MP confirms opposition concerns that the ECI's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) aims to delete legitimate voters. However, the Chief Electoral Office clarified the notice was automatically generated due to incomplete details in his enumeration form, specifically regarding previous electoral roll information.
