Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday addressed the Lok Sabha, where he accused the Opposition parties of misleading the country on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls currently underway in different states.

Shah asserted that the Election Commission of India (ECI), responsible for carrying out the SIR exercise, is a constitutional body and does not work as per the directives of the Indian government. He said it was the responsibility of the ECI to conduct free and fair elections.

Emphasising that the NDA was never scared of discussions in the Parliament, Amit Shah said the discussion was supposed to be on election reforms, but the Opposition focused solely on the SIR exercise. He said the Opposition parties had been lying for four months on the SIR and accused them of misleading people.

The Home Minister also highlighted that the SIR was conducted under the Congress rules of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. “How can free and fair elections take place if the voter list is not updated?" he said.
