💨 Abstract

The Samajwadi Party (SP) has requested the Election Commission in Uttar Pradesh to prohibit police officers from checking voter IDs on polling day, claiming that during the Lok Sabha elections, police personnel intimidated Muslim women voters by asking them to remove their veils. The SP alleges that this affected voting percentages. The BJP has responded by accusing the SP of fearing defeat and making baseless demands from the Election Commission.
