Amid the heavy protest against the voter list manipulation, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh has given a Suspension of Business Notice in Rajya Sabha under Rule 267 on Tuesday. Sanjay Singh has tabled the suspension of business notice to discuss alleged constitutional and electoral concerns over Bihar's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, claiming it demands "documents of a tough nature" from about eight crore voters, making it difficult for migrant workers, students, and poorer sections ahead of the 2025 assembly elections.
In the notice submitted to the Secretary-General, the Aam Aadmi Party MP said, "While regular and transparent revision of voter lists is the cornerstone of our democratic system, the nature of this process being adopted in Bihar appears to be worrisome and inequality-promoting at many levels, especially when we see it in the backdrop of the likely assembly elections in the year 2025," as per news agency ANI.
While submitting the notice, the MP also highlighted that the revision process demands "documents of a tough nature" from approximately eight crore voters in the state, creating significant difficulties for migrant workers, students, and economically weaker sections who primarily possess only an Aadhaar card. The government has recognised Aadhaar as a universal identity proof, yet it is reportedly not accepted in this revision.
