<h1>Chief Minister Opposes Special Intensive Revision of Voter Rolls Under Section 14, Defends Citizens' Rights Against Disenfranchisement</h1> A state chief minister pledged to defend citizens' fundamental rights against a political party's alleged divisive tactics, specifically opposing the implementation of a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, which she claimed aimed to disenfranchise genuine voters and facilitate detention of opposition supporters. She criticized the sudden rejection of previously accepted identity documents for voter verification and linked the move to a broader strategy to enforce a national register of citizens. The chief minister highlighted reports of harassment and violence against migrants from her state in other regions, alleging language-based discrimination and police misconduct. She emphasized her government's commitment to protecting linguistic diversity and condemned attempts to use language as a tool for division. The chief minister expressed hope for favorable judicial intervention similar to a recent Supreme Court ruling benefiting another state and accused a neighboring state government of issuing false notices to Bengali-speaking citizens to justify detention.
