Hyderabad: AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday appealed to the people to participate in the upcoming SIR (Special Intensive Revision) exercise without fail. Interacting with the people in the Charminar area, he sought to caution them by saying that ration cards are being cancelled for those excluded in the SIR, resulting in denial of government welfare schemes in states like West Bengal.
Importance of Voter Registration
“As such, it is important to ensure that the name of every voter is retained on electoral rolls during SIR,” he said, and urged them to take help from the AIMIM volunteers. The SIR exercise is a crucial process to update electoral rolls and ensure that eligible voters are not left out.
Warnings from Other States
Owaisi highlighted that in states like West Bengal, many people have lost their ration cards due to exclusion from the SIR, leading to denial of essential government benefits. He stressed that similar consequences could occur in Hyderabad if residents do not participate actively.
The AIMIM chief encouraged citizens to approach party volunteers for assistance in verifying their names on the electoral rolls and completing the necessary formalities. He assured that the party would provide full support to ensure no one is excluded.
This appeal comes ahead of the upcoming electoral revisions, where maintaining accurate voter lists is critical for accessing welfare schemes. Owaisi’s call underscores the need for public vigilance and participation in democratic processes.
