Prabhakar contends that neither the Constitution nor the Representation of the People Act provides for such an intensive exercise, asserting that an SIR has never taken place in the country's history. He argues that under the guise of removing deceased individuals or duplicates, the exercise leads to widespread voter deletions, particularly targeting minorities, Dalits, Adivasis, and women.
Referring to findings from public hearings conducted in Hyderabad and Secunderabad, he notes that living residents were marked as deleted or shifted. Prabhakar warns that mapping voters against older lists risks disenfranchising future generations, calling the exercise "voter chori" and describing it as "a bloodless political genocide." He also advocates for paper ballots over Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and urges citizens not to be mere bystanders in defending universal adult franchise.
