The speaker rejected allegations questioning the legality of the 2024 general elections, noting that challenging poll outcomes years later without judicial petitions lacked merit. The address also responded to remarks regarding the Special Summary Revision of electoral rolls, maintaining that notices to absent or shifted electors are part of standard verification procedures rather than vote deletion.
Addressing questions from reporters, the speaker criticised the decision to hold the political gathering on the anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh violence and accused regional opposition parties of shielding illegal infiltrators.
