During the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament, as the INDIA bloc pushed for a discussion on the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Bihar, Union Minister and JD(U) MP Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh questioned how non-Indian nationals could be permitted to cast votes in India, reported news agency ANI.

Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh stated, "Who is running away from a discussion on it? If you want to suggest that a person who is not a citizen of this country should cast his or her vote, and then you parade around carrying a copy of the Constitution... They are speaking against the Constitution. What is written in the Constitution? Whoever is a citizen of this country has to provide evidence of their citizenship. How can a person who is not an Indian national cast their vote in India?"

Meanwhile, MoS and JD(U) MP Ram Nath Thakur affirmed that individuals possessing identification documents would not have their names removed from the voters' list, according to ANI.
