Central Minister alleges funding from Pakistan for protests against SIR in Bengaluru

Central Minister Jitendra Singh made serious allegations in Bengaluru on Tuesday, stating that Abhijit Deepke of the Crocus Janata Party received funding from America, while co-founder Ashutosh Ranka received funding from Pakistan. Singh alleged that anti-India organizations, including those receiving foreign funding from Pakistani politicians, are providing funds for the protest against the Special Intensive Revision of the Voter List (SIR). He stated that the 'self-proclaimed activists' are creating a false narrative, and that the process has added approximately 2.5 crore new, enthusiastic young voters to the list.
