Breaking News: Supreme Court to Hear Pleas on SIR Validity as Election Commission Defends Voter List Purification

A major political and legal development is underway as the Supreme Court is set to hear petitions challenging the validity of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Election Commission is responding to the arguments raised by petitioners, asserting that voter list purification is a constitutional responsibility aimed at ensuring free and fair elections. The issue has sparked political tension in Uttar Pradesh following the release of the draft voter list after SIR. Questions have been raised over the removal of names, with the opposition alleging large-scale exclusion. Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Rajesh Pathak dismissed these claims, clarifying that the draft list is not final and corrections can still be made. The Election Commission reiterated that the revision process is ongoing and transparent.
