Owaisi demands further extension of SIR deadline
AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has requested a four-week extension for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) deadline, arguing the current November 9 date is insufficient. He highlighted significant anomalies in electoral rolls, including thousands of unmapped cases and incorrect voter status markings.
Why it matters
Electoral roll accuracy is fundamental to democratic integrity, and concerns over voter disenfranchisement can impact election outcomes.
Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday described the extension of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) deadline to November 9 as inadequate and demanded that it be extended by another four weeks.
Mr. Owaisi, president of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, visited hearing venues in the Karwan Assembly constituency and said a further extension would give the large number of people who had received notices some more time to respond.
“I saw what kind of work is happening here and how many people have received notices. There are 59,470 anomalies in the constituency. The number of unmapped cases is 40,750. A total of 1,00,223 notices have been issued to people,” he said.
