US Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal Voices Concern Over Voter Roll Deletions in India
Indian-origin US Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal expressed concern over the removal of approximately 13 crore voter names from India's draft electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. She compared the deletions to efforts in the US to undermine voting rights and supported non-violent protests against what she described as "anti-democratic efforts". The Election Commission of India stated that affected voters can seek inclusion through claims and objections processes. Opposition parties in India have protested, demanding the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation over alleged irregularities.
