**Headline:** Opposition Protests Lead to Adjournments in Parliament Over Voter Roll Revision and Terror Attack Discussions
In the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament, both Houses were adjourned until noon due to intense sloganeering by opposition parties. The session, which resumed at 11 am, is marked by heightened demands for discussions surrounding the recent Pahalgam terror attack and the controversial Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
On Tuesday, opposition MPs caused significant disruptions, leading to a standstill in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for the second consecutive day. In the Lok Sabha, opposition leaders gathered in the Well of the House, brandishing placards and chanting slogans to advocate for the withdrawal of the SIR in Bihar. Despite Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s appeals to allow the Question Hour to proceed, the protests continued, prompting Speaker Om Birla to adjourn the House until noon. Each time the Lower House reconvened, similar disruptions ensued.
The Rajya Sabha also faced multiple adjournments due to uproar over the same pressing issues, ultimately adjourning for the day shortly after reconvening post-lunch at 2 pm without conducting any business.
On the third day of the session, opposition MPs persisted with their protests in the Lok Sabha, even as Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw addressed questions regarding Indian Railways. Speaker Om Birla issued repeated warnings, but the protesting lawmakers remained undeterred, continuing their chants.
Before the session commenced, numerous opposition MPs, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, staged a protest against the ongoing SIR of electoral rolls in Bihar.
Congress MP Pramod Tiwari criticized the BJP’s actions regarding the voter list revision, labeling it a “murder of democracy.” He alleged that the revision was part of a broader conspiracy to disenfranchise voters ahead of crucial Assembly elections, stating, “We are all protesting… their conspiracy has come to light. This is an attempt by the BJP to undermine democracy.”
In a related development, Congress MP Manickam Tagore submitted a notice to discuss the clean-up of Bihar’s voter rolls, further emphasizing the urgency of the matter.
As the Monsoon Session continues, the opposition’s demands for accountability and transparency in electoral processes remain at the forefront of parliamentary discussions.
