Congress leader Asaduddin Owaisi approached the Supreme Court challenging the SIR and urged the formation of an anti‑BJP coalition in Uttar Pradesh.
Asaduddin Owaisi, a senior leader of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, filed a petition before the Supreme Court seeking relief on the issue of the SIR. The petition questions the legal basis of the SIR and asks the apex court to intervene.
In the same filing, Owaisi appealed to political parties across Uttar Pradesh to unite against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. He argued that a broad anti‑BJP front is essential to address the state's governance challenges.
The move comes ahead of the next electoral cycle in Uttar Pradesh, where coalition dynamics are expected to shape the political contest. Owaisi’s legal step adds a new dimension to the ongoing debates over the SIR and opposition strategy.
The Supreme Court has not yet scheduled a hearing date for the petition. Observers note that any court order could influence the formation of alliances ahead of upcoming state elections.
