SIR will create permanent class of excluded citizens: Owaisi
Asaduddin Owaisi, a Hyderabad parliamentarian, has criticized the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, accusing the Union government of creating a permanent class of excluded citizens. He claims that the SIR exercise has led to the deletion of nearly 6.5 crore names from electoral rolls across 13 States and Union Territories. Owaisi argues that this disenfranchisement will leave vulnerable communities exposed to arbitrary government action, and that the excluded individuals are predominantly Muslims, women, migrants, and the poor.
