Abhishek Manu Singhvi, a Congress leader, criticized the Supreme Court's ruling on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, stating it has raised numerous questions about the Election Commission's implementation and the process of determining citizenship. He highlighted concerns over the haste of the revision process and flaws in the Election Commission's actions.

• 01Singhvi emphasized that the SIR's validity was not in question, but rather the method and intent behind its implementation.
• 02He raised concerns about the removal of 7.5 crore individuals from electoral rolls based on citizenship before final decisions were made.
• 03Singhvi pointed out significant flaws in the Election Commission's implementation, particularly in Bihar, where transparency was only achieved through civil society interventions.
• 04The Congress leader criticized the rushed timeline for the SIR process, questioning the Election Commission's motives for conducting it in such a short period.
• 05The Supreme Court clarified that the Election Commission's role does not include determining citizenship status.

The Supreme Court's ruling and the subsequent criticisms may influence future electoral roll revisions and the processes surrounding voter eligibility in India.
