LK Advani, S Jaishankar and Jagdeep Dhankhar get SIR notices: Report

Former Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, former Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar and former Election Commissioner S S Sandhu are among high-profile individuals who received Special Intensive Revision (SIR) notices due to discrepancies in their electoral roll information. These notices were issued as part of the ongoing electoral roll revision process, during which more than 33.13 lakh notices were intended to help voters correct any discrepancies in their records.

The notices were system-generated and aimed to enable voters to rectify any discrepancies in their records. However, some prominent figures, such as Advani, Jaishankar, and Dhankhar, have questioned the intent behind these notices. Jaishankar's wife Kyoko, Advani's daughter Pratibha, Advani's son-in-law Geetika, and Dhankhar's wife Sudesh also received notices.

Delhi Chief Electoral Officer clarified that receiving a notice does not necessarily mean a voter's name will be removed from the electoral roll. Voters can submit their responses and required documents to the appropriate authorities to address any discrepancies. The verification process is currently underway, and the final electoral rolls are expected to be published on November 4.
