Owaisi Opposes SIR, Calls It a “Backdoor NRC” in Lok Sabha

New Delhi:10 December Posted on 8:35 PM AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday opposed the Election Commission’s special Intensive Revision related to voter rolls. He said the order violates parliamentary law, contradicts Supreme Court directions, and selectively targets citizens on the basis of religion. Speaking in Lok Sabha, Owaisi said the Representation of the People Act 1950 and Electoral Rules 1960 already define how names are included in voter rolls. Inclusion is based on self-declaration of citizenship supported by one of six documents listed in Form 6. This process is passed by Parliament and has legal validity.

Hyderabad, New Delhi:Posted on 8 December 11:41 PM AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi used the Lok Sabha debate on 150 years of “Vande Mataram” to question the government’s attempt to link patriotism with compulsory chanting of the national song.

Babri Masjid Demolition Remembered on 6 December, Owaisi Questions Legal Accountability

Mohammed Naseer Giyas India observes 6 December as the anniversary of the 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. The mosque was brought down by a large gathering despite written assurances given to the Supreme Court that the structure would remain protected.

In its 2019 Ayodhya judgment, the Supreme Court noted that idols were placed inside the Babri Masjid in December 1949 without legal authority. The court described the 1992 demolition as a serious violation of the rule of law and said the act carried constitutional implications. A criminal court later acquitted all the accused individuals in the demolition case. The court stated that there was no conclusive evidence to establish...
