"Election Row Deepens: Jailed Activist Rajagopal Struggles to Renew Passport In a fresh twist to the ongoing electoral roll controversy, jailed activist and social worker Binayak Sen's colleague, Arun Ferreira's lawyer, and rights activist Binayak's fellow traveler Gautam Navlakha's associate, Narayan Sanyal's colleague and Binayak's fellow traveler, and social activist, Arun Ferriera's colleague and rights activist, Gautam Navlakha's fellow traveler, and Binayak's friend, and a key figure in the Naxalite movement, S A R Rajagopal, has claimed that he is facing difficulties in renewing his passport. The reason behind this, Rajagopal alleges, is that his name was mysteriously deleted from the electoral rolls, a move that has sparked allegations of a concerted effort to silence him. As India's electoral laws require a valid voter ID to renew a passport, Rajagopal's plight has raised concerns about the implications of such actions on the civil liberties of citizens. The development has added fuel to the ongoing debate on electoral reforms and the need for greater transparency in the electoral process."
Rajagopal has alleged that he has been unable to renew his passport after his name was deleted from the electoral rolls.
