Critics Raise Concerns Over Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls in India
Critics including actor-activist Prakash Raj and economist Parakala Prabhakar have raised concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in India. They allege that SIR is removing legitimate voters, particularly from minority and marginalized communities, and undermining democratic participation. Prakash Raj highlighted delays in legal redress for wrongly deleted voters, while Prabhakar framed SIR as part of a broader political agenda to reshape India's identity. Both called for opposition to the exercise and urged political unity against it.
