‘Permanent class of excluded Indians’: Owaisi slams Centre over SIR

 AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticizes the Election Commission’s voter list revision, fearing it could disenfranchise Muslims, women, migrants, and the poor, creating “excluded Indians.” He alleges the exercise, which has already removed millions, is a precursor to identifying illegal immigrants. The Supreme Court, however, has upheld the EC’s authority to ensure accurate electoral rolls. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticizes the Election Commission’s voter list revision, fearing it could disenfranchise Muslims, women, migrants, and the poor, creating “excluded Indians.” He alleges the exercise, which has already removed millions, is a precursor to identifying illegal immigrants.
