Voter List Cleanup or Mass Exclusion? EC's Nationwide SIR Exercise Sparks Fiery Debate | India Today

A national debate is underway regarding the Election Commission's (EC) Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with critics alleging mass disenfranchisement and targeted exclusion. The discussion, anchored by India Today's Rajdeep Sardesai, features former Chief Election Commissioners N. Gopalswamy and Dr. S.Y. Qureshi defending the SIR as a necessary purification of voter lists. Conversely, Swaraj Abhiyan founder Yogendra Yadav and political analyst Rajat Sethi contend it is an exclusionary process, placing the burden of proof on citizens. Yadav stated, "an instrument of mass disenfranchisement has now been refined into targeted exclusion." The controversy intensified following Bihar's recent SIR, which saw significant deletions from the voter list, and the contentious role of Aadhaar as a primary identification document. Concerns include the EC's refusal to disclose the number of illegal foreigners detected, prompting Yadav to question the transparency. The Supreme Court has intervened, directing that Aadhaar be accepted as a valid identity proof during voter verification, emphasizing "en masse inclusion" over "en masse exclusion." This national issue also highlights declining public trust in the EC. #eci #sir #voterlist #itwebvideos #indiatoday #yogendrayadav #gopalswamy #qureshi #aadhaar #bihar #VoterList #ElectoralRolls #ElectionCommission #SIRexercise #Aadhaar #CitizenshipDebate #Disenfranchisement #BiharModel #YogendraYadav #RajdeepSardesai #Bihar #VoterID #TrustDeficit #IndianPolitics #Ghuspetiya #NRC Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
