'Method Of Disenfranchising Indians': Congress slams SIR
Congress has accused the Socio‑Economic and Caste Census (SIR) of marginalising citizens, calling its methodology a tool for disenfranchisement. Party spokesperson Jairam Ramesh highlighted deletion figures from the census’s three phases, noting that over 3.3 million notices have been issued in Delhi due to inconsistencies in enumeration forms. The criticism focuses on alleged data manipulation and bias.
