Raghav Chadha Says Name Was ‘Shifted’ in Punjab SIR Roll, Labels It a Vendetta

Congress MP Raghav Chadha raised concerns on Thursday that his entry in the Punjab State Information Register (SIR) roll appears to have been deliberately modified. He pointed out that the term "shifted" next to his name suggests an intentional alteration rather than a routine clerical correction.

Chadha said the change undermines the credibility of the register and reflects a targeted attempt to tarnish his reputation. He urged the Punjab administration to investigate the matter and restore the original entry, warning that any manipulation could have broader political implications.

The Economic Times reported the allegation, noting that no official response from the Punjab authorities has been released yet. The controversy adds to the ongoing political tensions in the state ahead of upcoming local elections.

Analysts suggest that if proven, the incident could spark calls for greater transparency in maintaining public records, while opponents may use it to question the ruling party's governance.

The matter remains under scrutiny, with stakeholders awaiting a formal inquiry and clarification from the SIR office.
