Congress Rajya Sabha MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh has escalated demands for a parliamentary debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar’s voter lists. He submitted a Suspension of Business notice in the Indian Parliament under Rule 267, prompting criticism from the INDIA bloc, which considers this an urgent issue requiring discussion.
On Thursday, protesters outside Parliament disrupted proceedings, leading to the adjournment of both Houses. Discussions were halted as calls emerged to address additional matters, including the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, alongside the contentious Bihar SIR.
Tensions heightened when Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal accused the Election Commission of partiality, warning that the SIR process could compromise democratic integrity. The ongoing Monsoon Session, scheduled from July 21 to August 21, remains tumultuous as MPs reconvene, with transparency and accountability at the forefront.
