What’s EC Hiding? Ajit Anjum on FIR, Fake Lists & Illegal Immigrant Claims
By: Shadab Moizee
An FIR has been filed against journalist Ajit Anjum in Bihar after his ground reports exposed alleged flaws in the Election Commission’s voter list revision (SIR). He’s accused of obstructing government work, disturbing communal harmony, and making voter data public. In an exclusive interview with The Quint, Anjum calls the FIR a move to intimidate the media and claims it stems from the unease his reporting caused the administration. He counters every charge — from leaking data to “communalising” the issue — and explains why he believes the establishment is rattled. Watch the latest episode of 'Janab Aise Kaise?' as he breaks down the reality of Bihar’s voter verification, the pressure on BLOs, the ‘infiltrators’ narrative.
