US EditionBihar Electoral Roll Revision: Opposition Leaders Urge Lok Sabha to Hold Discussion
NEW DELHI, INDIA, JUL 31 – Opposition MPs claim the Special Intensive Revision of Bihar's electoral rolls violates constitutional rights and risks election integrity, with protests causing multiple parliamentary adjournments.
- On Aug. 1, 2025, Lok Sabha was adjourned till 2 pm after Opposition MPs disrupted Question Hour, then again till 4 pm due to ongoing protests, says the source.
- On Friday, Opposition MPs filed notices for adjournment motions under Rule 267 in both Houses demanding discussion on Bihar's Special Intensive Revision, disrupting proceedings.
- Amid protests, Speaker Om Birla rebuked opposition MPs, saying `You are not representing the public by sloganeering. People have given you an opportunity to put their issues in the House` and urged decorum.
- With repeated walkouts, parliamentary business remains stalled by protests, and proceedings in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are likely to stay disrupted amid opposition protests over Bihar's voter list revision.
- Next week, Opposition MPs plan a march to the Election Commission of India headquarters, noting the EC indicated similar revisions may soon be undertaken nationwide.
