🚨Why SIR was needed? Gauhati High Court ACCEPTED in 2008:
> "Bangladeshis have become KINGMAKERS in deciding who'll win Assam"🤯
Yes. Not a BJP leader, but court said this way back in 2008.
Why? A man carrying a Pakistani passport travelled from Dhaka, entered Assam & later managed to get onto the electoral rolls.
He went even further: he contested the 1996 Assam Assembly election 😳
Read that again.
A man who entered from Bangladesh with a PAKISTANI passport ended up contesting an election in Assam.
This was the electoral-roll reality the court was confronting in 2008😞
And today, when electoral-roll verification through SIR is being debated, this HISTORY cannot simply be wished away.
Why doesn't the Opposition want a clean voter roll?
