The government in the lower house of the Parliament asserted that the matters pending before the judiciary cannot be discussed on the floor of the House.
As soon as the Lower House met again at 2 PM after two earlier adjournments, they demanded a discussion on the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju stressed that rules of the Lok Sabha do not allow sub-judice matters to be discussed in the House.
Kiren Rijiju also pointed out that the functioning of autonomous institutions such as the Election Commission cannot be discussed in Parliament.
Rijiju underlined that the issue relates to the functioning of the Election Commission of India, which is an autonomous body.
