Rajya Sabha adjourned till 2 pm amid Opposition protest over Bihar electoral roll revision
Parliament New Delhi, Aug 11 (UNI) The Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2 pm today, shortly after the day's proceedings commenced, as Opposition members raised slogans over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar. As soon as the House convened for the day and official papers were laid on the table, several Opposition MPs entered the aisles and moved into the well of the House, disrupting proceedings. Rajya Sabha Chairman Harivansh informed the House that 29 notices had been received under Rule 267, requesting discussions on five different topics. Of these, 11 notices were not worded properly for a formal decision to be made by the House, while the remaining 18 were related to matters currently under judicial consideration and also lacked proper wording, he said. He made it clear that, as a result, none of the notices were accepted. Urging members to allow the House to function, the Chair reminded them that Zero Hour and Question Hour are important tools available to MPs to raise public issues. He also expressed concern over the repeated disruptions, stating that 'we have lost 62 hours and 25 minutes in this session' due to adjournments. However, Opposition members refused to budge as they continued protesting about the SIR in Bihar. Amid continued sloganeering and noisy scenes, the Chair adjourned the House till the post-lunch session. The Opposition has been demanding a detailed discussion on the issue, alleging manipulation and discrepancies in the voter list revision exercise being undertaken in Bihar. UNI AJ AAB
