Hyderabad: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday alleged that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) carried out by the Election Commission in Bihar will provide an opportunity to BJP to “harass” voters.
He was responding to social media posts which claimed that attempts were made to delete Muslim voters in a constituency in Bihar.
“The reality of #BiharSIR. Political parties, especially BJP, will get an opportunity to harass voters & delete them on the basis of religion. In today’s India, poor Muslims and Dalits have only one tool, it is their right to vote. BJP wants to make them defenceless against oppression,” he said in a post on ‘X’.
