EC in 'damage control' mode; CEC's resignation or prosecution needed: Cong
The Congress party says the Election Commission (EC) is in damage control mode after reports of internal differences. It wants the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls stopped at once, saying crores of voters have been removed. The EC says all SIR orders had approval from all three Election Commissioners. Congress demands CEC Gyanesh Kumar resign or face prosecution.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Congress said the Election Commission is in damage control mode after a media expose brought out differences within the poll body.
- The Congress demanded that the ongoing SIR exercise, which it says has disenfranchised crores of voters, be suspended immediately.
- The Election Commission said all SIR orders were issued with approval from all three Election Commissioners, and that changes in Form 6 have been upheld by the Supreme Court.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Keep an eye on official Election Commission notices about the SIR exercise and confirm your own name on the voter list. If your entry is missing, use Form 6 to apply for inclusion rather than depending on social media claims.
