How many ghuspaithiye were detected, deleted, deported after SIR, Mr Shah?

New Delhi: The Congress on Wednesday hit back with three posers to Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his criticism of the opposition’s ‘vote chori’ protests, asking how many “ghuspaithiye” (infiltrators) have been detected, deleted and deported following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

In a post on X, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the “ghuspaithiya” argument is invoked to divert attention from the real issue of people being stripped of their right to vote. “The reality is that the architects of the ‘Shah Instigated Removal’ (SIR) exercise are repeatedly trying to divert attention from the real issue by invoking the infiltrator argument. Whereas the truth is that the desperate duo of PM-HM has stripped nearly 14 crore Indians of their constitutional right to vote,” the post in Hindi said.

“Here are three very simple and straightforward questions to the Union Home Minister, who has been defending SIR: 1. How many ghuspaithiye were detected? 2. How many ghuspaithiye were deleted? 3. How many ghuspaithiye were deported?” Ramesh asked.

The Congress leader said 100 crore Indians have been put through the SIR process and they deserved to know the results.

“Is he suggesting that these 14 crore Indians are ghuspaithiye? Has there been a massive increase in the number of infiltrators in the country under his oversight as Home Minister?” Ramesh asked.
