Youth League takes SIR protests to streets across Malappuram

The Muslim Youth League (MYL) has taken its protest against the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls to the streets, holding marches at several places in Malappuram since Friday (September 25, 2026).

The protests centred on a demand for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. The MYL has accused Mr. Kumar of weakening the electoral process through the SIR.

In Kottakkal, the protest took the form of a large march from Chenkuvetty to the Kottakkal bus stand. Thousands of workers joined the rally led by MYL State committee member K.M. Khaleel.

Mr. Khaleel said the organisation would continue to raise its voice against what it sees as threats to the electoral system. He also linked the protest to other issues affecting the public, including E20 petrol and charges on online payments.
