"Cropped, Out-Of-Context": Minister To Rahul Gandhi Over Amit Shah's SIR Clip
In his latest post, which is pinned on his X, Rahul Gandhi has shared two shorts clips, one from last year and one from Thursday, of Home Minister Amit Shah, appearing to suggest the confusion within the ruling party over the SIR debate.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has challenged Home Minister Amit Shah to an open debate regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. According to The Hindu, Gandhi shared a video montage on social media contrasting Shah's remarks from December of last year, where he stated a debate on the SIR could not occur in the two Houses, with comments made on Thursday, November 5, 2026, suggesting the government is open to a special session of Parliament to discuss the matter.
In a post written in Hindi, Gandhi told Shah not to confuse Prime Minister Narendra Modi and urged him to convince the Prime Minister to engage in a debate on any platform at any time. NDTV reports that Gandhi shared two short clips, one from last year and one from Thursday, to suggest there is confusion within the ruling party regarding the SIR debate.
The Hindu further notes that Gandhi has repeatedly challenged the Prime Minister to an open debate, claiming he could prove in five minutes that the Prime Minister is a traitor.
