In a startling development, a member of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s family has reportedly been summoned for a hearing under the SIR- SPECIAL INTENSIVE REVISION, process of the voter list, triggering widespread criticism and debate.

Despite this, he has been called for verification in the ongoing SIR hearing.
Talking to News United India,Sri Chandra Kumar Bose, expressed his disbelief saying, “My name exists in the 2002 SIR — still I have been called for the hearing.” He further added sarcastically, “Netaji’s grand-nephew also needs authorisation for Indian citizenship — which direction is India moving?” He, however, fully cooperated with the EC and stood in the queue for over an hour to appear for the hearing at the City College in South Kolkata.
