Karnataka SIR : Minister @ArshadRizwan says, "As soon as the SIR exercise started, and even before that across the country, Union Home Minister @AmitShah had claimed that there are infiltrators in the voter list, He was hinting at Bangladeshis in the voter list, and he said infiltrators are influencing Indian elections... @hd_kumaraswamy very clearly said that Bangladeshis are being supported before we started this exercise. I want to ask them because the EC has very clearly said that only less than 1,000 foreign nationals were identified... 771 foreign nationals were identified in this voter list. Out of these, 588 are Nepalese. The remaining 183 are Kannadigas who have taken US citizenship, European nation citizenship, and other citizenships. According to my information, not even three Bangladeshis were identified. You made 5 crore Kannadigas stand in the queue to identify three infiltrators or three Bangladeshis. This is just like how you made 100 crore Indians stand in queue during demonetisation and the note ban to identify black money. The EC has to come out clean and say how many infiltrators were identified, how many, particularly Bangladeshis or foreign nationals, were identified. This exercise was to put people through strain and tension, harass them, and make them stand in queues..."
