TMC slams EC for 'forcing' elderly people, PWDs to turn up at SIR hearing camps
The article alleges the ECI is forcing vulnerable citizens to travel for hearings, potentially violating their rights.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) is facing criticism from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) for allegedly forcing elderly and disabled individuals to attend hearings at camps far from their homes, instead of sending officials to their residences. TMC MP Partha Bhowmik and Senior Minister Sashi Panja condemned this practice, arguing that it constitutes "torture" and is a violation of the rights of vulnerable citizens. They demanded the ECI immediately arrange for hearings at homes and publish a breakdown of the categories used to identify those needing hearings.
