Murshidabad, once the capital of Bengal and a city deeply associated with Mir Jafar and the Battle of Plassey, is at the centre of a fresh political controversy linked to the SIR voter list exercise. Members of the nawab family, including Chhote Nawab Syed Reza Ali Meerza, have alleged that their names, along with those of their family members, have been deleted from the electoral rolls. They maintain that they are Indian citizens and have approached authorities for redress. The issue extends beyond the nawab household. Residents in and around Hazarduari Palace and other parts of the district have raised similar concerns, claiming that their names have been removed despite documentation. Murshidabad has reportedly recorded the highest number of deletions in the state, with nearly 7.4 lakh names excluded. This ground report traces the unfolding situation across key historical landmarks such as Namak Haram Deorhi, Jafarganj Cemetery, Jagat Seth House, and Nashipur Rajbari, highlighting how a region shaped by historical shifts is now navigating a contemporary electoral issue.
