Punjab Assembly Passes Resolution Demanding Probe into Electoral Roll Deletions
The Punjab Assembly unanimously passed a resolution expressing concern over the large-scale deletion of citizens' names from electoral rolls during the Election Commission's special intensive revision (SIR). Moved by Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema, the resolution demands an independent, impartial investigation led by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar into alleged irregularities. Cheema and other lawmakers accused the BJP of undermining voting rights, while the Election Commission defended the removals as necessary to eliminate duplicates and ineligible entries ahead of the 2027 elections.
