Prashant Kishor hopes for justice from SC
Regarding this, Jan Suraj Party founder Prashant Kishore said, "The Election Commission is not involving all the stakeholders and is not telling whose names are being removed. The process is not so transparent. We hope that we will get justice on this issue."
In fact, in the hearing held on Monday, the Supreme Court said that when we agree with the petitioners, the entire process will be cancelled. There is no need for any stay right now. Justice Suryakant said that Aadhaar and EPIC should be considered during SIR. If there is any doubt in any case, then necessary action can be taken on it. However, this cannot be called an order, it is just a suggestion.
