SIR not fair, done by ‘biased’ EC: 23 opposition parties to CJI NEW DELHI: In a letter to the Chief Justice of India Tuesday, 23 opposition parties have raised concern about various aspects of the SIR exercise, taking forward their battle against the revision of electoral rolls that they allege is being conducted by a “biased” election commission to help BJP. DMK and AAP have also signed the letter to the CJI despite not being part of the INDIA bloc. The two parties did not attend the meeting of the opposition alliance on June 8 where the decision to write the joint letter was taken — raising the morale in the antiBJP camp ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament. AICC spokesman Jairam Ramesh posted on X, “A joint letter signed by 23 political parties plus one Independent has been sent to the CJI today.” The letter has been signed by key opposition members — Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, TMC’s Mamata Banerjee, RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, JMM’s Hemant Soren, NC’s Omar Abdullah, Left politicians, and Independent MP Kapil Sibal, among others. The INDIA bloc did not release the letter. But, sources said, it appeals to the conscience of the judiciary, arguing that it is the only route of relief left for the opposition. The letter is likely to have questioned the role of EC. While clarifying it is not casting aspersions on judiciary, the letter is said to argue that various aspects of SIR make it vulnerable to manipulation. According to an opposition member, the quality of SIR data in states like Bengal has been mentioned. The instances of wrong data, like deceased persons in the poll rolls, have been pointed out by the opposition in the past to question the fairness of the exercise. Also, sources said, opposition has mentioned the varied timeline of SIR in different states, to underline arbitrariness, with examples of Bihar and Tamil Nadu.

Congress moves privilege notice against Rajnath Singh over Operation Sindoor NEW DELHI: Congress MP KC Venugopal Tuesday moved a notice for breach of privilege against defence minister Rajnath Singh, accusing him of misleading Parliament by telling Lok Sabha that no Indian soldier was martyred during Operation Sindoor in 2025. Last week, a controversy erupted when the Centre stated that six soldiers died in attacks from Pakistan. The opposition seized upon the govt’s statement and cited the speech made by the minister in Lok Sabha to allege that he had misled the country. Tagging the proceedings of Lok Sabha to the petition, Venugopal wrote to Speaker Om Birla that breach of privilege proceedings should be initiated against the minister. In his letter to Birla, Venugopal said that on July 28, 2025, during discussions on the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor that followed, Rajnath Singh said that no harm was caused to the Indian soldiers. However, in contrast, a statement has now been issued that said six armed forces personnel died during Operation Sindoor. Though moved by Congress, the privilege notice appears to have the concurrence of the opposition parties who joined hands in attacking the Modi govt after it made public the death of six soldiers. The issue is likely to figure in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament.Get the latest India news and live updates.
