Navdeep Suri was issued a notice and told to produce documents in Punjab’s special intensive revision of electoral rolls.

A report says Suri, a former diplomat, described difficulty verifying his citizenship because his details did not match 2003 records while he was posted abroad.

P. Chidambaram criticized the Election Commission of India, saying the process could disenfranchise a large share of voters.

The Punjab Chief Electoral Officer urged citizens not to worry about verification notices and to submit the required documents.

The critical coverage focuses on the claim that the special intensive revision could disenfranchise ten percent of the population. It links that concern to Chidambaram’s remarks after Suri said he faced difficulty verifying his citizenship. The emphasis is on the risk posed by the process rather than on the administrative response.
