The Indian Parliament faced a strong opposition offensive on Tuesday over the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. Members from various parties led to a washout of proceedings in both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. Opposition MPs gathered at the Parliament complex, protesting against the SIR demanding its cancellation. The issue overshadowed other topics in the Monsoon session, as the members emphasized the importance of addressing RJD’s concerns regarding the electoral rolls review. The opposition’s focus on this matter caused disruptions in both houses, setting aside discussions on the recent terror attack and Operation Sindoor. The political stand-off continues as the Congress and other parties aim for a detailed discussion on the alleged government conspiracy to affect voting rights of the poor in Bihar.
