The final list regarding SIR has been released in Uttar Pradesh. As soon as it arrived, there was an uproar. Names of about 3 crore voters have been deleted from this list. Now in such a situation, the Congress leader has alleged that the name of his entire family is missing in this list. With the help of social media posts, he has raised many questions on the process of SIR.

What is the whole matter?
The final list of SIR was released in Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday. In this, names of 2 crore 89 lakh voters have been deleted. The names of Congress leader and admin head Gurdeep Singh Sappal and his family are missing in this list. Gurdeep Sappal has had a special conversation with ABP News on this matter.

‘Targeted because he was a Congressman’

Regarding this, he has said that he has been targeted for being a Congressman. The entire family’s name has been struck off. The Election Commission is working on the instructions of the Modi government. Congress will come to the ground to re-join those whose names have been removed from the party. The job of Modi government is to make everyone fall in line.

Draft SIR Voter List of Uttar Pradesh has been published.

My and my family’s names are missing in this.

Whereas:
Our names were included in the voters list of 2003.
Our names were also included in the voter list of the last elections.
The names of our parents were also included in the vote list of 2003.
We asked the Election Commission…

He said that I will fill Form 6. Our names were included in the voters of 2003. Our names were also included in the voter list of the last elections. The names of our parents were also included in the voter list of 2003. We had also submitted the necessary documents as per the rules of the Election Commission. We have everything – passport, birth certificate, Aadhaar, bank account, property papers, 10th class certificate.

He said, ‘I myself was the Vice President of India and also a Joint Secretary in the Rajya Sabha Secretariat. Also, I am a member of CWC, the highest committee of Congress. Not only this, I have also been a part of the Congress delegation in the Election Commission many times on SIR and other issues. All BLOs also know this. But still our names were cut from the draft list.

What is the reason behind cutting the name?
Gurdeep Singh Sappal has claimed in a post on social media, ‘We had shifted our house from Sahibabad Assembly of Uttar Pradesh to Noida Assembly. We were told that there is no provision to retain the names of shifted voters in SIR. Meaning, if a voter has changed his residence to a new area, his name has been struck off. There are crores of voters like me. I will probably still fill the new Form 6 and get my family name added, but how many people will be able to do so? This is the truth SIR!

After the release of the draft list of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter list in Uttar Pradesh, Congress leader Gurdeep Singh Sappal on Tuesday claimed that his and his family members’ names are missing from the SIR, even though they have all the documents and their names were also in the 2003 voter list. The permanent invitee member of the Congress Working Committee said that his name was struck off only on the ground that he had transferred his name from Sahibabad assembly constituency to Noida assembly constituency.

Gurdeep Singh Sappal posted on ‘X’, “SIR draft list of Uttar Pradesh has been published. My and my family’s names are missing in this, while our names were included in the voter list of 2003, our names were also included in the voter list of the last election and the names of our parents were also included in the voter list of 2003.” He says, ”We had also submitted the necessary documents as per the rules of the Election Commission. We have passport, birth certificate, Aadhaar, bank account, property documents, 10th class certificate, everything.

I am a member of the Supreme Committee of Congress- Gurdeep Singh Sappal

Gurdeep Singh Sappal said, “I myself was the Vice President of India (Hamid Ansari) and also joint secretary in the Rajya Sabha Secretariat. Also, I am a member of the Supreme Committee (Working Committee) of the Congress.

The Congress leader said, “Not only this, I have also been a part of the Congress delegation in the Election Commission many times on SIR and other issues and the BLO also knows this.” But still our names were cut from the draft list.” He claimed, ”The reason is that we had shifted our home from Sahibabad Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh to Noida Legislative Assembly. We were told that there is no provision to retain the names of voters transferred to SIR.

This is the truth of SIR – Congress leader Sappal

According to Sappal, if a voter has changed his residence to a new area, his name has been struck off. He said, “There are crores of genuine voters like me. I will probably still fill the new Form 6 and get my names added, but how many people will be able to do so? This is the truth of SIR.
