The CEC is caught in a trap of his own making. Having misled the Hon’ble Supreme Court about the SIR process, he is now scrambling to defend the indefensible and make changes to the very process he had insisted was perfectly sound. If all decisions on the SIR were unanimous, why is the ECI now undoing changes that, according to *The Indian Express* expose, fellow Election Commissioners had objected to as “illegal”? If nothing is broken, what is the ECI trying to fix? And if the process needed fixing, why CEC lie to the Supreme Court earlier? More importantly, what happens to the crores of voters disenfranchised by these "illegal and unconstitutional changes" to Form 6 which are being undone now? Who will compensate the people of Bihar, West Bengal and Assam who lost their opportunity to vote because of a faulty SIR? Will the Assemblies be dissolved? Can an election conducted after disenfranchising millions be treated as legitimate? The Hon’ble Supreme Court must take cognisance of this grave injustice. The ECI cannot escape accountability by quietly changing the rules after the damage has been done. Gyanesh must go!
