DMK MPs Meet Demands for CEC's Removal over SIR Row
- On Saturday, DMK party president M.K. Stalin led a parliamentary meeting in Chennai, demanding the immediate dismissal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over his handling of the Special Intensive Revision electoral roll process.
- According to the DMK resolution, the SIR process implemented in Tamil Nadu and Bihar systematically disenfranchised genuine voters; the party claims to have opposed the drive since July 2025 through legal challenges and agitations.
- Expressing support for youth protests, the DMK criticized Congress and TVK for 'double standards,' accusing them of 'political opportunism and maintaining a silent, unholy nexus with the BJP' regarding the electoral roll revision.
- DMK MPs will soon submit a formal memorandum to the President of India demanding complete scrapping of the SIR process, return to ballot paper voting, and 100 per cent counting of VVPAT slips.
- Prompted by Gyanesh Kumar's unilateral decisions, the party's resolution called for a thorough inquiry. DMK leaders emphasized consistent opposition to the current election oversight process since July 2025, seeking accountability for voter disenfranchisement.
