Mamata Banerjee Argues in Supreme Court: "Bengal is Being Targeted!"
- •Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee personally argued in the Supreme Court regarding the SIR case, stating, "Bengal is being targeted."
- •She highlighted that the SIR process is primarily used for deleting names, not adding them, citing issues like name changes after marriage or address changes.
- •Mamata Banerjee questioned why Bengal is being singled out for this process, unlike Assam, and why there's such a rush before elections.
- •She mentioned that over a hundred people, including BLOs, have died, and many are hospitalized due to the process.
- •The Supreme Court acknowledged the issues, with Justice Surya Kant stating they would ensure no legitimate voter is left out, but denied the Commission's request for a one-week extension due to timeline constraints.
