Who is MLA Humayun Kabir?
Humayun Kabir is an MLA from Murshidabad, West Bengal and is known for his outspoken statements. He often speaks openly on Muslim issues, voter list, policies of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the central government. In recent months, his statements have appeared to be different from the party line, due to which his hints of forming a new party have also increased the political stir.
What did Humayun Kabir say on SIR?
Humayun Kabir has also given a big statement regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list.
1. Claim of deletion of two lakh names: He said that names of about 2 lakh people have been deleted in Murshidabad. These include people who are dead or who had double names.
2. SIR will not have any effect: Humayun Kabir says that the names of those who have expired (dead) or who have duplicate names should be deleted.
3. Benefit to Muslim voters and BJP? , On the question that SIR will reduce Muslim voters and BJP will benefit, he clearly said that nothing will happen. His argument is that a total of 58 lakh names have been minus but the very next day around 30 lakh new voters aged 18 years will be added. This number will become almost equal by the elections.
4. Claim regarding voting percentage: Humayun Kabir said that there will be up to 80% voting in the elections. Last time less than 2 crore people could not vote, even then it did not make any difference. Humayun has made a big announcement regarding the new party.
