Kapil Sibal Questions Election Commission Over Voter Registration NoticePreviousNext

Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal criticized Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar after receiving a notice questioning his voter registration, despite completing verification with local officials. Sibal alleged arbitrary removal of legitimate voters from electoral rolls and warned the issue could reach the Supreme Court. He also questioned the Election Commission's communication methods, noting he was informed via website rather than physical notice. Coverage presents Sibal's concerns alongside the Election Commission's actions without definitive conclusions.
