US Lawmaker Raises Concern Over India's Voter Roll Revisions Amid Official Pushback
US Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal expressed concern over India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, alleging the removal of around 130 million voter names from electoral rolls. She compared this to efforts by the Trump administration to undermine voting rights and supported non-violent protests against what she called "anti-democratic efforts". The Election Commission of India stated that voters omitted can seek inclusion through claims and objections. India's Ambassador to the US, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, called Jayapal's remarks "unacceptable interference" in India's internal affairs, affirming the country's democratic processes.
