Lucknow/Saharanpur,

23 July (HS): Imran Masood, a Congress MP, has expressed reservations about the

Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, criticizing its quick implementation. Masood said, What kind of formula or

technique do they have that they can complete this in just one month? This creates concerns. They want to deny tribals, Dalits, backwards

classes, and Muslims of their voting rights by erasing their names from voter

rolls.” Masood went on to accuse certain elements of wanting to destroy

democracy, saying, They want to steer the country toward a system in

which 10% of the population rules and 90% are reduced to slaves.We shall battle

till the end to save democracy.” The Congress MP's comments came amid ongoing

disagreements over the SIR process, with opposition parties accusing anomalies

in voter list changes.
