What happens when the State negates your right to vote? Can a government restrict the right to protest? And who gets to decide whether you are a citizen?
From the right to peaceful protest to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, India’s constitutional principles are facing an existential challenge. What happens when the burden of proving eligibility shifts to citizens, and trust in the Election Commission begins to erode?
Senior advocate and Member of Parliament, Abhishek Singhvi joins Shoma Chaudhury at IGNITION for an urgent conversation about SIR, electoral rights, constitutional accountability and the institutions that ought to protect Indian democracy. The discussion also focuses on Singhvi’s role and the broader issues at stake in the succession battle being fought inside the boardroom of the Tata group.
