New Delhi, Oct. 11 -- Asserting that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is an issue in the Bihar assembly polls, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has alleged that the exercise carried out by the Election Commission was done in "a hurry" and that checking citizenship is the mandate of the Home Ministry.

In an interview with ANI, Owaisi said that if those whose names were deleted don't check, "you'll see there'll be another uproar on polling day".

He said AIMIM's Bihar unit chief Akhtarul Iman had moved the Supreme Court over the SIR.

Bihar will go to the polls in two phases on November 6 and 11, and votes will be counted on November 14. The Election Commission announced the poll dates after the completion of SIR.
