Prakash Raj Launches Campaign Against Electoral Roll Revision in Karnataka
Actor and social activist Prakash Raj has launched a 10-day campaign in Karnataka to document grievances related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. He alleges misuse of Form 7 applications to delete names, particularly targeting Muslims, and calls for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Raj plans to gather evidence from 100 polling stations and present findings to the state government and media, aiming to raise awareness and protest the SIR process, which critics say excludes eligible voters.
