44 parties decide to move Supreme Court against SIR after meeting chaired by Tamil Nadu CM Stalin

A multi-party meeting chaired by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Sunday decided to move the Supreme Court against the Election Commission of India’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll, calling the exercise “anti-democratic” and warning that it risked disenfranchising voters ahead of the 2026 Assembly election.

A total of 44 political parties attended the meeting, including the DMDK of late actor-politician Vijayakanth, which is not part of any alliance. The AIADMK and the BJP were not invited. Actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), S Ramadoss’s PMK, and the AMMK of TTV Dhinakaran, who had recently broken away from the NDA, were invited but chose not to attend.
