Supreme Court Hearing on Delhi Voter Issues

The news isn't that the Supreme

Court has provided relief to Delhi's

voters over the question of SIR. The news is

that perhaps the Supreme

Court's mood is also changing.

Today, there was an explosive

hearing in the Supreme Court.

Prashant Bhushan raised

every issue about Delhi SIR,

lodged objections,

and today the Supreme Court itself,

on the bench of the same three judges who

had earlier given their judgment on Bihar,

began asking the questions that we

have been raising for the past one

They've been asking for years, brother,

them if their enumeration form

And how can you ask an old voter to

fill out Form Six, which is for new voters?

And if someone has shifted homes,

have them fill out Form Eight.

We haven't yet made a ruling on it.

This remains open.

It's a question, meaning

that a big question mark now hangs over SIR.

Lawyers will say this matter concerned only Delhi

and the court has not yet issued an order,

it has made observations.

People like me will also say, come on,

such generosity only for Delhi…

Why? Even more names were

removed in Bengaluru.

But that's all a matter of detail.

The real news is that the wind blowing

in the streets may be reaching

the Supreme Court.
