**Opposition MPs to Protest Over Bihar Voter Roll Revision Amidst Parliament Session**
As the Parliament reconvenes today, significant disruptions are anticipated as opposition MPs from the INDIA bloc plan to protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter roll in Bihar. This protest follows several days of uproar in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, where opposition members have been vocal about their concerns regarding the electoral roll revisions.
The INDIA bloc is set to gather at Makar Dwar in Parliament at 10:30 AM to voice their objections against the Election Commission of India’s handling of the voter rolls in Bihar, West Bengal, and Assam. This protest comes after a late-night strategy meeting among top leaders of the INDIA bloc, where Congress leader Rahul Gandhi presented a report titled “Democracy Destroyed.” The report alleges widespread irregularities and fraud in the voter lists across the three states, intensifying the opposition’s demands for accountability.
In preparation for the session, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a high-level meeting with senior Union ministers, including Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, to discuss the government’s legislative agenda. Senior BJP leaders were also present, indicating the government’s commitment to advancing key bills despite the anticipated protests.
The ongoing tensions highlight the critical nature of electoral integrity and the opposition’s determination to address perceived injustices in the voter registration process. As the session unfolds, all eyes will be on the proceedings to see how the government navigates these challenges.
