Farooq Abdullah slams EC for Bihar electoral rolls revision, threatens nationwide protest

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 8 July 2025 ()
National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah has criticized the Election Commission of India's (ECI) Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, deeming it 'unconstitutional.' He alleges the ECI is attempting to disenfranchise millions of migrant voters under political pressure. Abdullah warned of nationwide protests if the ECI proceeds, suggesting the reaction could surpass recent 'save-Constitution' demonstrations.
