There are problems with the voters’ list, and they are indulging in vote theft. They are doing it undemocratically… They are in a way trying to cast doubt on the citizenship of individuals,” he said.TMC leader Sagarika Ghose said they will continue protests inside and outside Parliament over the SIR issue, and also raise concerns over “attacks” on Bengali-speaking people in BJP ruled states.DMK leader Tiruchi Siva said that the ruling party is putting the blame on the opposition for not allowing the House to function.
