Owaisi: Centre using Bihar SIR to target genuine voters, confused about documents needed

Hyderabad: AIMIM President and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi said that the government is using Bihar SIR (Special Intensive Revision) as an excuse to delete genuine voters.

He also said that there is a lot of confusion regarding authenticating the revision of names since no one knows how many have provided documents along with their names.

He also said that the government was unable to explain in Parliament which document is needed to prove citizenship, which invalidates the SIR exercise.

On Pakistan-India match

Owaisi also said that he is not going to watch the India-Pakistan cricket match. He said playing the match doesn’t seem necessary when Pakistan is not speaking on favourable terms with India on many levels, including closing the Wagah border and visa process.

Multiple projects worth Rs 3.25 crores inaugurated

AIMIM President and Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi inaugurated five projects, such as gyms, school blocks and a library in Hyderabad Parliamentary Constituency on Wednesday.

The projects are said to be worth Rs 3.25 crores executed under the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS).
