New Delhi – The Indian National Congress has formally approached the Election Commission of India, drawing attention to alleged irregularities in the Uttarakhand State Information Report (SIR). In a written communication, the party highlighted specific concerns about the integrity of the report and requested a thorough investigation.
The letter, addressed to the Chief Election Commissioner, does not disclose the exact nature of the discrepancies but emphasizes the need for transparency and adherence to electoral norms. Congress officials said the move aims to safeguard the democratic process in the hill state.
The Election Commission has not yet issued a public response. Observers note that such interventions are common during election cycles, especially when opposition parties seek clarification on procedural matters.
