EC must clarify stance on SIR: Chirag Paswan

Union Cabinet Minister Chirag Paswan on Wednesday called for the Chief Election Commissioner to clarify the Election Commission's stance on SIR (Simultaneous Elections). Paswan said it is neither the government's nor political parties' role to respond on the matter, but rather the election body's responsibility to make its position clear.

Paswan's statement comes amid ongoing debates over the proposal for simultaneous elections across the country. He emphasized that the EC should take the lead in addressing public concerns and clarifying its stand on the issue.
