The issue of Bihar SIR has been a contentious one with the INDIA bloc MPs demanding a discussion on it in the parliament
Earlier, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla adjourned the Lower House of Parliament minutes after it convened for the second day of the ongoing Monsoon Session. Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 12 PM also
This comes after opposition leaders moved adjournment motion notices in both lower and upper houses to discuss various issues of public importance, including the special intensive revision (SIR) being carried out by the Election Commission (EC) in Bihar ahead of the upcoming assembly elections
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi also moved an adjournment motion notice in Lok Sabha to discuss the SIR, as he expressed concern over the exclusion of Aadhaar and PAN cards from the requisite 11 documents listed by the Election Commission for voter verification
Congress's Rajya Sabha MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh has also given a Suspension of Business Notice under Rule 267 to discuss the concerns arising out of the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar ahead of elections
