National Conference president Farooq Abdullah has voiced strong opposition to the Election Commission's recent decision to conduct a special revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, describing the move as 'anti-Constitutional.'

Abdullah raised concerns over the hardships faced by over 1.50 crore Bihari migrants in other states, questioning their ability to participate in the electoral process amidst bureaucratic hurdles.
