The Bharatiya Janata Party unit in Arunachal Pradesh has publicly supported the Election Commission’s clarification on the SIR issue and has challenged the basis of criticism leveled against the poll panel.
The Arunachal Pradesh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party issued a statement endorsing the Election Commission of India's recent clarification on the SIR matter. Party officials said the clarification addresses the concerns raised and reaffirms the commission's procedural integrity.
In the same statement, the state BJP questioned the grounds on which the poll panel has been criticised, suggesting that the critiques lack substantive evidence. The party urged political opponents and media outlets to base their commentary on verified facts rather than conjecture.
The move comes amid heightened scrutiny of the Election Commission's functioning across the country, with several states witnessing debates over electoral reforms. Arunachal BJP's stance signals its alignment with the central leadership's approach to defending institutional credibility.
Party spokespersons also called for constructive dialogue among stakeholders to strengthen the electoral process, emphasizing that any genuine issues should be addressed through established legal channels.
