Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament (MP), Kangana Ranaut, speaking on the Monsoon Parliament Session, said that the opposition does not want the proceedings to take place on Monday.
"The decorum of the House is being violated. Every session is disrupted. Today too, time has been allocated for each issue, but they (the opposition) do not want the proceedings to take place," said Ranaut. Several MPs on Tuesday submitted notices to move adjournment motions in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha to discuss the issue of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. In Lok Sabha, Congress MP Manickam Tagore gave a notice to move an adjournment motion to discuss the SIR of electoral rolls in Bihar and its "threat to democratic rights ". In Rajya Sabha, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh gave a notice of motion to discuss the "constitutional and electoral implications" of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. The notice reads, "I would like to draw the attention of this House to a very serious and sensitive issue relating to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process currently being conducted by the Election Commission of India in the State of Bihar. While regular and transparent revision of Electoral Rolls is the cornerstone of a democratic system, the nature of this process being adopted in Bihar appears to be worrisome and inequality-promoting at many levels, especially when we see it in the backdrop of the upcoming Assembly elections in the year 2025." "Therefore, I humbly request you to adjourn all proceedings of the House under Rule 267 and discuss this very important issue so that the right to vote of citizens can be protected," it further reads. Congress' Rajya Sabha MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh has also given Suspension of Business Notice under rule 267 to discuss the concerns arising out of the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar ahead of elections.
