SIR: No one gives satisfactory answers!!

By Javed Bharati
The SIR has been implemented in 12 states of India, from November 4, forms have been distributed and filled, a large number of BLOs have been deployed, many BLOs have been seen who do not know anything about SIR, such LOs have also been seen who cannot fill out forms with their own hands. Today, there is a state of chaos everywhere, someone is searching for their name in the 2025 voter list, someone is searching for their father, grandfather, grandmother's name, someone is searching for their wife's name, someone is searching for their son and daughter's name, and when they are not found, their face becomes pale, and lines of worry appear on their forehead. Then they ask everyone what will happen to them, but no one gives them a reassuring answer.

Similarly, a large number of people have been seen whose names were in 2003 but their guardians' names are not, they are also very worried. Today, every person is searching for their ancestors' names and remembering them. It is said that this is just a voter list revision campaign to create a clean and transparent voter list. Now people are seen commenting that when it comes to the voter list, why so many documents are being asked for, and why there is so much haste, and why so little time has been given, while the government and the Election Commission know that there are many people in the country who cannot read or write.

Therefore, at least one month's time should have been given to distribute the forms, one month to fill out the forms, and one month to collect the forms, then there would not have been such chaos.
The second thing is that when the SIR is a voter list revision, why does the Election Commission say that the Aadhaar card is not proof of citizenship, meaning what the government should say, the Election Commission is saying, that's why some people are saying that the current SIR is actually a small NRC and is being conducted through the Election Commission.

Opposition parties are calling SIR a method of vote theft, overall, politics is also being done on this issue, and no political party has come forward to alleviate the anxiety among the people. What should have happened is that the presidents and heads of all political parties should have told their workers to fill out the SIR forms for the people in their areas, but this was not done. It was the responsibility of political parties to fill out the SIR forms correctly and to make the people aware, so that no one's name is cut from the voter list, including one's name in the voter list is the right of every citizen, and it is the responsibility of the Election Commission to make this process easy.

But the Election Commission has adopted a method that has caused anxiety among the people, and on the other hand, many BLOs have committed suicide, if young people had not come forward and provided their services, the result would have been that many BLOs would have died. It is also a fact that today people are still anxious about SIR, they have different questions on their lips, and they are not getting reassuring answers.

Lawyers and intellectuals say that the current SIR is completely different from the previous SIR, it is a hasty decision that is causing trouble for the people of the country. Why is such a situation being created that the people who are being given the task are committing suicide? This is why many people see the Election Commission as an occupier, many senior lawyers say that the Election Commission does not have the authority to investigate citizenship, but still, the Election Commission has taken such a step that the poor, laborers, weak, and disabled class of the country are frightened.

The opposition parties have also not taken a strong stance on SIR, they should have announced that they will boycott SIR and will not come to parliament until the current method is repealed. But the opposition parties only want the people's vote, people vote so that the formed government will work for their relief and the opposition will play the role of a vigilant guard. But since 2014, the central government has been confusing the people of the country, small industries are being destroyed, unemployment and joblessness are increasing, and when elections are held, emotional slogans are raised, and religious cards are played, the result is that the issues of unemployment and joblessness are forgotten.

Hopefully, the government will now adopt a way to provide comfort and satisfaction to the people of the country, whatever laws are made, they should be easy, and people should be able to get the full benefit of them easily, and small industries should get a boost.
