Amit Shah Challenges Rahul Gandhi to Debate SIR Amid Political Dispute Over Electoral Rolls

Shah accused the Congress of opposing SIR to protect infiltrators and alleged vote bank politics, while Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of foreign support and electoral manipulation. Congress demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar before any session. Both sides have held rallies and exchanged sharp criticisms amid ongoing protests and allegations.
