The #SupremeCourt today decided to hear the #Bihar #SIR matter on 12-13 August. Petitioners will have one day to present their arguments and the ECI will get one day to give their submissions. As scheduled the Election Commission of India will publish the draft voters' rolls on 1 Aug.

After #nitharicase acquittals by the SC, another one. The question is - who killed victims of Malegaon bomb blast and Nithari serial killings? These are almost 2 decades old cases. One can't even hope for justice.

The Election Commission of India has claimed to have shared lists of around 65 lakh voters whose names have been removed from the Bihar SIR draft roll with political parties. I request that parties make these lists public through Google Docs or by other means so that people can access them. If
