Bihar Rolls Row: Rajya Sabha Storm Halts Proceedings
The Rajya Sabha witnessed uproarious scenes on Friday, August 1, 2025, as opposition members disrupted proceedings over the ongoing controversy surrounding electoral roll revisions in Bihar. Their protests focused on alleged irregularities and the perceived need for a thorough investigation.
Opposition parties vehemently raised concerns about the recent changes to the electoral rolls, alleging manipulation and disenfranchisement of voters. They demanded a detailed inquiry into the matter.
Adding fuel to the fire was the deployment of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel within the House. The opposition viewed this as an infringement on parliamentary autonomy and a move to suppress dissent.
Despite multiple adjournment motions being moved by the opposition, the Deputy Chairman rejected them, citing the issue as sub-judice. This only escalated the protests, leading to repeated disruptions and ultimately, the premature adjournment of the House.
The government, however, defended the enhanced security measures, citing concerns about maintaining order and security within the Parliament complex. The clash highlights growing political tensions ahead of crucial state elections. This incident underscores the escalating political stakes and the need for transparent electoral processes in the country.
