In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court has mandated the Election Commission to disclose the details surrounding the deletion of 65 lakh names from the electoral roll in Bihar, promising a significant boost for transparency and democratic integrity.
Celebrating the judgment, Congress hailed it as a 'massive victory for democracy,' accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration of attempting to manipulate the electoral process. Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, played a pivotal role in advocating for recognition of Aadhaar in the SIR case.
The Court's ruling requires the Election Commission to make public the reasons for these deletions, ensuring visibility at both the panchayat and district levels, and encouraging affected individuals to present their Aadhaar cards as proof to contest their exclusion.
