BJP holds booth-level agents' meet ahead of SIR in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: In preparation for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls, the BJP state unit organised a workshop for its leaders in Bengaluru on Monday. The program focused on increasing awareness regarding the nationwide revision process being carried out by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
BJP National Disciplinary Committee chairperson Om Pathak mentioned that the process, which is being implemented across the country, has already been completed in Bihar and is currently underway in states like Assam, Karnataka, and West Bengal.
“Having a purified electoral roll is essential. Or else, some non-citizens enter the voters' list as infiltrators. This dents the integrity and sovereignty of the country,” Deccan Herald quoted Pathak as saying.
Pathak criticised the Congress and other parties within the I.N.D.I.A bloc, accusing them of spreading misinformation about the SIR process. He warned that such misconceptions could undermine the integrity of the electoral system.
The BJP leader further stated that the SIR process was regularly conducted until 2004 to ensure the accuracy of the voters' list, but it was halted after the Congress-led government returned to power at the Centre.
"Any citizen of the country who is eligible to be a voter should not be left out of the voter rolls, and no illegal infiltrator - who isn't a citizen of the country - should be on the voters' list," Pathak added.

Mangaluru: Teacher booked for allegedly beating student in school
Vittla (Dakshina Kannada): A case has been registered at the Vittla Police Station against a school teacher on charges of seriously assaulting a student with a cane at an English-medium school in Idkidu village here near Vittla in Dakshina Kannada district.
According to the complaint, the student, who attends the school regularly, had gone to school as usual. Around 2 pm, the child’s parents received a call from the school office stating that their child had allegedly disturbed other students. The school informed them that when the teacher scolded the student over the issue, the child became frightened and urinated, and the parents were asked to come and take the child home.
The parents reportedly told the school staff that no one was at home at the time and requested that the child be sent home in an autorickshaw.
After returning home, the student told the parents that a teacher identified as Istikaar had beaten him severely on the hand with a cane. The child also said that he urinated out of fear while the assault was taking place.
When the parents contacted the teacher over the phone to question him about the incident, he allegedly responded in a dismissive manner.
Following this, the parents lodged complaints with the Vittla Police Station and the Child Development Project Office, seeking justice and strict action against the teacher for allegedly assaulting the child without any valid reason.
Police have registered a case against the teacher and have taken up further investigation.
