Paranoia and fear: Owaisi slams Centre over SIR, alleges exercise may create permanent class of excluded Indians

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.
