Delhi SIR: Notices issued to prominent figures from Advani to Jaishankar; Opposition raises questions

A political row has intensified in Delhi regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll. Political debate has heated up after notices were issued to several high-profile individuals during the SIR process. Names such as former Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri have surfaced in connection with the SIR verification. The names of Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal are also being discussed in the context of these notices. While the opposition is questioning the SIR process, the Election Commission maintains that the notice does not imply the removal of names from the electoral roll but is merely a verification process to address discrepancies found in the records.
