Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday demanded Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over alleged flaws in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. “He doesn’t have constitutional protection,” Tharoor said, adding that the Opposition was preparing articles of impeachment to seek Kumar’s removal. He alleged that the SIR process had led to wrongful voter deletions. Tharoor called for the exercise to be suspended and demanded a review of the software used. He also sought the restoration of deleted voter names. He said the Election Commission must ensure free and fair elections.
