Lok Sabha stays in pause mode, now over roll revision protest
Opposition protests
over the
Special Incentive Revision
(SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls disrupted the
Lok Sabha
for the second consecutive day on Wednesday, resulting in three forced adjournments. In the din of Opposition sloganeering, sports minister Mansukh Madaviya introduced the National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, which, among other things, proposes an umbrella rule for various sports governing bodies, and the Anti-doping (Amendment) Bill, providing greater operational independence to the anti-doping agency.
As soon as the House commenced, the INDIA bloc MPs started protesting against SIR, indulged in sloganeering and trooped to the well of the House. As many MPs were holding placards and some SP members were waving black shawls, Speaker Om Birla warned of action for such conduct before he adjourned the House till noon. Similar protests forced two more adjournments, after noon and at 2 pm.

Outside Parliament, INDIA bloc MPs held a joint dharna, demanding that the
Election Commission
withdraw the SIR drive.
Speaking to media persons, leader of Opposition,
Rahul Gandhi
, said the SIR was a new ploy by the ECI to delete voters from the list and he once again alleged the election was being stolen in India.
"They (EC) have done cheating in Maharashtra (assembly elections). We asked the ECI to show the voters' list, but they refused. We asked them to show videography, but they changed the rules of videography. Around 1 crore new voters were added in Maharashtra. In Karnataka, we have caught a huge theft. I will show it to the Election Commission in black and white how the theft is done. They have understood that we are aware of their game now. Now, what they are doing is they have deleted the voters, and a new voters' list will be brought. Elections are being stolen in India," he said.
