Congress MP Accuses Election Commission of Illegal Form 6 Changes

Senior Congress MP Jairam Ramesh accused the Election Commission of making "illegal and unconstitutional" changes to Form 6 that hinder first-time Gen Z voters, demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar's accountability. He alleged a mandatory section on parents' SIR participation was added without notification or legal authority. The row follows reports that two Election Commissioners objected repeatedly to SIR decisions, with Opposition protests held across several states.
