Several opposition members in the Rajya Sabha submitted Suspension of Business notices on Thursday, calling for a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in Bihar during the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament.

Congress Rajya Sabha MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh submitted a notice demanding a detailed discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Bihar, raising concerns over the ongoing voter list revision. Similarly, Congress MP Ranjeet Ranjan filed a notice under Rule 267, urging an immediate debate on the matter, reported ANI. 


Additionally, Congress MP Ashok Singh submitted a separate notice, seeking clarity and a thorough discussion on the SIR exercise being conducted in Bihar.



Moreover, Congress Rajya Sabha MPs Neeraj Dangi and Rajani Patil also submitted Suspension of Business Notices under Rule 267, reinforcing the call for a thorough discussion on the Special Intensive Revision of voter lists in Bihar, reported ANI. 

On the fifth day of the monsoon session of Parliament, the Lok Sabha is set to discuss key legislations, including the Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill and the Merchant Shipping Bill 2024, on Friday, as reported by ANI. 

Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal will move the Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in the Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2024, for its passage along with amendments.

"That the Bill for enabling reservation of seats in accordance with article 332 of the Constitution for effective democratic participation of members of Scheduled Tribes and to provide for the readjustment of seats in the Legislative Assembly of the State of Goa, in so far as such readjustment is necessitated by inclusion of certain communities in the list of the Scheduled Tribes in the State of Goa and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto, be taken into consideration," the list of business notice issued by Lok Sabha read, reported by ANI. 

Union Ports, Shipping, and Waterways Minister Sarbananda Sonowal will move the Merchant Shipping Bill, 2024, for its passage in the Lower House.

The Bill aims to bring together and update the laws related to merchant shipping. It ensures that India follows international maritime agreements it has signed. The Bill also focuses on improving Indian shipping and managing the country’s merchant ships in a way that supports the national interest.
