It also asked the poll panel to consider Aadhaar, voter-ID and ration cards as valid documents for the identification of voters during the exercise. Reacting to the development, the BJP said the SC's ruling is a 'setback' to the opposition parties that are protesting against the exercise. The opposition parties, on the other hand, see it as a 'relief for democracy' and is a 'significant advance' in the case. We will be tracking this and more today.
