<h1>MP says burqa identity checks under SIR and Aadhaar-linked verification discriminate and risk disenfranchising Muslim women voters</h1> An MP from Sambhal criticised the election authority's decision to subject burqa-clad women to identity checks during Bihar voting, alleging discriminatory application that disproportionately affects Muslim women and risks disenfranchisement. The MP challenged the rollout of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and linked Aadhaar measures, noting parties have sought Supreme Court relief and arguing SIR must not be used to remove voters for political or religious reasons. The legal issues raised include equal protection and non-discrimination in electoral procedures, the proportionality of identity verification measures, and safeguarding the constitutional right to vote through uniform, neutral implementation.
