Congress MPs Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Gaurav Gogoi, Sonia Gandhi, Pand Ramod Tiwari were among others who participated in the protest
Multiple Congress MPs have also moved adjournment motions in the Rajya Sabha to discuss the ongoing SIR being conducted by the Election Commission in poll-bound Bihar, and raising concerns over the exercise, which is likely to be carried out across the country, including in West Bengal
Alleging that the revision exercise is being used as a cover to disenfranchise voters, at least six Congress MPs have moved the Notice of Motion for Suspension of rules under Rule 267 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha)
Earlier on Wednesday, Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi made sensational claims, saying that an "election theft" is ongoing in the country
Carrying a banner which read "SIR-Attack on Democracy," the MPs stood at Makar Dwar, demanding that the voter list revision be halted
