During a critical all-party meeting on Sunday, opposition parties called for an immediate discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and national security issues.
This plea comes as the Winter Session of Parliament is set to commence on December 1. Government counterparts, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, assured cooperation for smooth parliamentary operations despite tensions over national security and electoral roll alterations.
Defense Minister, Rajnath Singh, emphasized the importance of maintaining order within the House to bolster democracy. Meanwhile, opposition voices, notably from Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, criticized what they perceive as governmental attempts to undermine parliamentary protocol and traditions.
