Mamata says she will move court on Tuesday against SIR
WEst Bengal Chief government minister Mamata Banerjee on mon said she would displace margaret court against the Election Commission's SIR of electoral rolls in the say, alleging that the exercise has triggered fear, harassment and administrative arbitrariness, leading to deaths and hospitalisations.Addressing a public meeting in Sagar Island in South 24 Parganas district, she alleged that names were being "arbitrarily struck off" the voter rolls without valid reasons, turning a routine administrative process into a source of fear ahead of the assembly elections."We are moving court tomorrow against the inhumane treatment and the death of so many people due to the SIR," she said."If allowed, I will also move the Supreme Court and plead as a common person against this inhumane exercise. I am also a trained lawyer," she said.Banerjee, however, did not clarify whether the petition would be filed by her personally, the state government or the Trinamool Congress.The CM claimed that terminally ill people and elderly citizens were being forced to stand in long queues to prove they were legitimate voters."How would BJP leaders feel if someone made their old parents stand in line to prove their identity?" she asked."Since the SIR began, so many people have died due to fear, and several others are in hospital," she claimed.Banerjee also took on the BJP over alleged discrimination against Bengali-speaking migrant workers in the states it rules."I dare them to kill me, but I will not stop speaking in my mother tongue," she said, asking whether speaking Bengali has become a crime in the country.The CM alleged that the BJP induces people with pre-election sops and indulges in repression after winning the polls."They will give ₹10,000 before elections and use the bulldozer once it's over," she said."You can torture as much as you want, but it won’t yield any results," she added.
