A coalition of over 300 signatories, including notable figures such as Justice B. Sudarshan Reddy (former judge of the Supreme Court of India), actor Prakash Raj, and activist Teesta Setalvad, has called for the cessation of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in India. They describe the SIR as an 'exclusionary, undemocratic, non-transparent, and unscientific process.' The coalition claims that in the 10 states and 3 union territories where SIR has been implemented, approximately 6 crore eligible voters have been deprived of their right to vote. In West Bengal, for instance, around 35 lakh voters who sought adjudication were denied verification, resulting in a significant loss of their voting rights. The signatories assert that this mass disenfranchisement demonstrates the flawed nature of the SIR process, suggesting it was designed with malicious intent.
