3 UN special rapporteurs flag 'opaque' SIR process; EC dismisses concerns as baseless
UN rapporteurs raised concerns about India's voter list revision process and alleged exclusion of minorities. Election Commission officials strongly refuted these allegations, calling them unfounded and unwarranted. The poll panel asserted that the special intensive revision process was transparent and constitutionally sound. They stated ample opportunities were given to electors to challenge any exclusions. The Supreme Court has upheld both the intent and process of this revision exercise.
