On Sunday (November 30), just a day before the winter session of Parliament, the government called an all-party meeting, in which leaders of all major political parties participated. In this meeting held in the Parliament House, the opposition presented the issues of its agenda before the government, in which topics like Delhi blasts, Special Revision Process (SIR) of voter list, foreign policy concerns and national security were prominent. The government presented its priorities and appealed for cooperation in the smooth conduct of the session.

15 meetings, shortest session? Opposition’s question

The winter session will start from Monday and continue till December 19. This time the session will be of only 15 meetings, which is much less than the normal 20 meetings. Congress alleged that the government wants to ‘derail’ Parliament by keeping the session short.

Rijiju appealed for peaceful discussion

Before the meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju held separate talks with the leaders of all the parties. He said, “It is winter season, hopefully everyone will work with a cool mind. There should be debate, but not disruption. A calm atmosphere will be beneficial for the country and Parliament will run smoothly.”

“The government is burying parliamentary traditions”

After the all-party meeting, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi alleged that the central government was deliberately shortening the session. He said, “Discussion is possible only for 15 days in the total session of 19 days. Perhaps this will be the shortest winter session ever. It seems that the government itself wants to derail the Parliament.” He further said, “This government is engaged in burying the traditions of Parliament. That is why the opposition is united. Tomorrow we will have a meeting with Kharge ji.”

What issues does the opposition want discussed?

Gogoi enumerated six major demands of the opposition, which included-

1. Debate on Delhi blasts- He said that this is a sign of failure of security agencies.

Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: The political stir for Bihar assembly elections 2025 is fast. Meanwhile, the fresh tracker of Sea voter has intensified the political stir.

Yashwant Deshmukh, the founder of C Voter, shared the data for the month of September. Many important information has come out in this tracker, especially about the popularity of possible candidates for the post of Chief Minister.

Growing ratings of stunning and Prashant Kishore

According to C. Voter Tracker, the special news for the opposition is that the rating of Tejashwi Yadav of RJD has reached 35%. Tejashwi’s rating, who has been at number one continuously since February, fell down in June, July and August, but now it is growing again. At the same time, Prashant Kishore’s rating has also reached all time high 23%. This is the result of his active and aggressive campaign, which is particularly focused on BJP.

Nitish Kumar and Emperor Chaudhary data

The rating of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has been recorded at 16% in this tracker. However, the rating of Emperor Chaudhary has declined, which has reached 6.5%. According to Yashwant Deshmukh, Prashant Kishore’s campaign is affecting the NDA’s vote bank and Tejashwi Yadav is getting direct benefit.

The tracker does not show vote share, but it indicates that Tejashwi and Prashant Kishore’s Momentum is increasing. If this rating turns into vote share, then there can be benefit for both in elections. It is important for Prashant Kishore to convert his 8 10% estimated vote share to seats. They will require at least 25% vote share so that they can play the role of King Maker.

Impact on women voters

Yashwant said that the impact of the 25 -year -old schemes for Nitish Kumar’s women is in his favor. Schemes like Mahila Employment Scheme and Cycle Scheme in Bihar have increased public confidence, which can create a strong foundation for them in the election.

PM Modi’s ratings changed

The C Voter Tracker has seen a change in the rating of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi. PM Modi’s rating has come down from 57 percent to 51 percent, while Rahul Gandhi’s rating has increased from 35 percent to 41 percent. This means that the gap between the two leaders has now come at 10 percent, which is considered positive for the Congress and a challenging sign for the NDA.

Yashwant Deshmukh told that Rahul Gandhi is currently on a foreign trip, so his field campaign is not currently running. At the same time, the NDA’s focus on new schemes for women has now started, and its impact can be seen on the rating in the next two weeks.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor praised the International Space Station (ISS) mission of Astronaut Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla on Monday (August 18, 2025). He described it as an “powerful symbol” of India’s human space flight ambitions and an important part of the upcoming Gaganyaan program.

Tharoor’s statement on the absence of opposition
Tharoor said, “Since the opposition is not participating in a particular discussion, I want to say that all Indians are proud of Commander Shubhanshu Shukla’s recent ISS mission. It is an important step towards our country’s Gaganyaan Human Space Flight Program.”

Opposition shied away from session
Earlier, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiran Rijiju had appealed to the opposition parties to attend the special discussion on Shukla’s mission and India’s space program in the Lok Sabha. However, many opposition leaders did not attend this session demanding a discussion on alleged voter fraud.

1/3 Since the opption is not participating in the special discussion, let me say how proud all Indians are of the recent mission of community shubhanshu shukla to the interactive space station (Iss). It served as a stepping stone to our nation’s oven human spaceflight… https://t.co/y1bwqcceg6

– Shashi Tharoor (@Shashitharoor) August 18, 2025

ISRO got precious experience
Tharoor said that Shukla’s flight gave the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) such an invaluable direct experience and data that cannot be achieved in simulation. This includes understanding of spacecraft systems, projection procedures, and direct experience of psychological and physical effects of microscravity. He said that this experience will be very important in making Gaganyaan Mission safe and better.

Scientific and technical benefits
During this mission, Indian systems and protocols were tested in the actual environment of space. This also led to scientific conclusions-such as human health studies and uses on plant growth-which will shape life-support and medical systems for future Indian space flights.

Diplomatic importance
Emphasizing the diplomatic aspect of the mission, Tharoor said that it is a milestone in “global space diplomacy”. This proved to be the preparation of India’s multilateral cooperation and opened new avenues of joint research and investment.

Inspiration for youth
Tharoor said that the historic flight of Commander Shukla has given a strong symbol to India’s human space flight ambitions. It has inspired the new generation of the country to make a career in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and space studies, which is necessary for India’s long -term space goals.

BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, taking a dig at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, said that the Election Commission has reprimanded him for insulting voters. He said that Rahul Gandhi has insulted the people whose names have been named, alleging vote rigging.

Kangana said, “You can understand that if they do not get power, then they will not allow any work to be done. When they had an opportunity, they did corruption. It is her that we do not get power, then we will spread raita everywhere.” Kangana Ranaut further said that when the country is progressing today, the opposition parties are unhappy. He said that the public is watching everything and that is why the opposition will not be able to win any election.

Kangana said- that’s why these people are not winning a single election
Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, the BJP MP said- ‘How much has the Election Commission reprimanded Rahul Gandhi yesterday, how he insulted people, insulted the voters. And the names of the voters who had mentioned the names are mourning in large numbers. He has become very insulted in his society. In a way, Rahul Gandhi has blown away his honor. And the way you are seeing that even after such a rebuke, he did the spectacle here today. So from this you can understand that they are that if we do not get the throne, then we will not let the work be done. We will spread raita everywhere. Everyone is watching that when they got a chance, they did corruption. Now if the country is progressing, then they are sad. The public is watching and this is the reason why these people will not be able to win any election.

A special dinner was organized by Maulana Mahmud Madni, President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind Maulana Mahmood Madni at Delhi’s Shangri-La Hotel on Wednesday night (July 23, 2025). Many MPs from opposition parties attended this dinner. Facials like Congress leaders Imran Pratapgarhhi, Imran Masood, SP MPs Singh Patel and Zia ur Rehman Burke were present in it.

Concern was expressed about the current situation in the meeting. There was a serious discussion on increasing violence and hatred against the Muslim community. Maulana Madani said that this is the time to unite and strengthen the voice of Muslim society.

1. Bulldozer action issue in Assam
2. Hate Speech and Hate Crime to be held in the country
3. SIR process in Bihar
4. Caste Census
5. Palestine issue

What happened in this meeting:

On the action of bulldozers in Assam:
There was a demand to set up a Parliamentary Committee and this committee should visit Assam and arrange for the homeless people and arranged for their rehabilitation there.

On SIR process happening in Bihar:
In the meeting, all the MPs promised that this issue should be raised strongly in the Parliament and outside it. Maulana Madani said that this SIR should not be made NRC. In India, the right to vote from his urban should not be taken away. It is like snatching their rights from citizens to seek evidence of their legacy.

On Hate Speech and Hate Crime:
It was mentioned in the meeting that BJP leaders have given a lot of hate speech in recent times and in the year 2024 UP CM Yogi Adityanath has given the highest hate speech.

Even PM and Home Minister have given a hate speech in the Lok Sabha elections.

On the issue of caste census:
Caste census was supported in the meeting. Madani said that this is the need of Muslims. Because it is said about Muslims that there is no difference in the name of caste in their religion, but the truth is that there are many sections among Muslims such as Pasmanda and rest, they are different on the basis of caste.

On the issue of Palestine:
All the MPs involved in the meeting themselves said that the attitude of the Government of India about Palestine is not good, which has always been the policy of Prof. Palestine of India, it is being ignored, and now humanity in Palestine is in danger.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has once again attacked the central government and the election system and claimed that elections are being ‘stolen’ in the country. He said that this is not just political allegations, but a truth that the Congress is working to bring before the public. On this, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan retaliated and called his statements false and an insult to democracy.

What did Rahul Gandhi say?
Rahul claimed that a Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka was investigated, where a case of large -scale vote theft has come to light. He said that very soon full information will be kept in front of the public. Giving the example of Bihar, he said that in the name of SIR (Special Investigation Report), the votes of SC, ST, OBC and minority community are being stolen. Rahul Gandhi warned that the Congress and India alliance will neither sit down nor retreat against this injustice. This fight will be fought from Parliament to the road.

Elections are being stolen in India, this is the truth!

We showed everyone how match fixing took place in Maharashtra.

Checked a Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka – there was a large number of votes theft, soon they will bring it to the public.

SC, ST, OBC and minority brothers and sisters in the name of SIR in Bihar… pic.twitter.com/axjrfujqjt

Dharmendra Pradhan’s answer- Congress is insulting democracy
Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has reacted sharply to these allegations of Rahul Gandhi. He said that the opposition brings a new excuse to disrupt Parliament every day and thus it is hurting the democratic tradition of the country and the dignity of Parliament.

Pradhan taunted Rahul Gandhi and said that the Congress and his leaders trust the Election Commission and democracy as long as they win the election. He said that when the Congress wins elections in Karnataka, Himachal and Telangana, democracy and the Election Commission seem completely correct. But when they lose in states like Maharashtra and Haryana, the working style of the Election Commission is questioned.

Pradhan said- A political shigufa accused of ‘vote theft’
Dharmendra Pradhan termed the allegation of ‘vote theft’ as a political shigufa of the Congress. He said that it has become a way to make fun of Indian democracy. He alleged that the Congress has been doing politics of appeasement in the name of SC, ST and OBC and now that the public is constantly denying them, they are insulting the mandate.

Pradhan also said that the governments of the sections that the Congress is talking about, has recently done the work of snatching the rights of the same SC, ST and OBC sections in Telangana and Karnataka. He reminded that despite being in power for decades, the Congress never gave their rights to these classes, but always tried to help their special vote bank.

Public has woken up, is denying Congress- Pradhan
Dharmendra Pradhan said at the end of his statement that the conscious people of the country have now recognized the truth of parties like Congress. This is the reason that the Congress is facing defeat in the states one after the other. He said that by repeatedly playing the duffle of ‘vote theft’, the Congress wants to hide its anti-backward history, but now the country will not tolerate it.

Bihar Voter List Revision: Opposition parties have described the amendment in the voter list of the Election Commission in Bihar as arbitrary and unconstitutional. The petitions filed on their behalf will be heard in the Supreme Court on Thursday (July 10, 2025). Those who filed the petition against the Election Commission include the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), Yogendra Yadav, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and some other political parties.

Assembly elections are going to be held in Bihar in October-November. General amendments have been made in the voter list in India earlier also. However, Mahua Moitra and others believe that this SIR, as notified, is being done for the first time in the country, where all voters are being asked to prove their eligibility again.

What is special intensive revision (SIR)?
The Election Commission (EC) announced a special intensive revision (SIR) of voter lists on 24 June. Its declared objective is to include all eligible voters and remove all ineligible voters. The Commission has justified this process, quoting rapid urbanization and migration, recently 18 years old or not able to register earlier, citing low reporting of people and low reporting of deaths. It has also been asked to become voters of foreign illegal migrants, which are necessary to be removed.

What is the allegation of opposition parties?
Opposition parties have alleged that a large number of eligible people may be out of the list due to lack of some documents from this matter. The Election Commission aims to draft the voter list by August 1, after which objections and investigations will be done. The Election Commission has claimed that more than 57 percent of the current 7.9 percent of the voters have submitted new calculation forms, which will now be investigated.

Rahul gandhi on ec: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, once again raised serious questions on the Election Commission on Saturday, raising his transparency, alleging that the Election Commission was deliberately trying to destroy the important data related to the election.

Rahul Gandhi on Saturday made a scathing attack on the Election Commission and said that he is deliberately destroying the necessary documents and data related to the election. Rahul wrote on social media that the voter list will not be given in the machine-readable format, the CCTV footage has been changed to the law, and now the photo-video of the election will be destroyed in just 45 days, not one year. He said that the one who needs answers is erasing the same evidence, that is, “match is fixed” and fixed elections are poison for democracy.

Election Commission cleaning – secrecy and security is necessary
The Election Commission has responded to Rahul Gandhi’s allegations. Election Commission officials said that making public webcasting footage of polling stations public can pose a threat to voters’ privacy and security. According to the Commission, such demands appear in support of public interest and democratic honesty, but in reality their purpose is the opposite.

Refer to law and Supreme Court orders
Election Commission officials said that the demands of Rahul Gandhi are against the Representation of the People Act of 1950 and 1951 and the directions of the Supreme Court. The Commission also said that it is working according to the law and constitution, and it is its priority to maintain the safety of voters and fairness of elections.

Danger of the identity of voters being revealed
Election Commission officials have warned that by making public the CCTV footage of polling stations, it can be ascertained who voted and who is not, which can lead to a situation like pressure, discrimination or intimidation. Giving examples, he said that if a political party gets less votes at a booth, then he can find out who did not vote. With this, selected people can be disturbed or intimidated.

CCTV footage deadline and use
Officials made it clear that the Election Commission keeps these CCTV footage safe only for 45 days for internal administrative works. This rule is because the legal deadline for filing a petition against the election result is also 45 days.

Court is kept safe for court
If a petition is filed within this deadline, then the footage is kept safe and it is made available to the court when needed. But if a petition is not filed, then keeping the footage may be a risk of spreading wrong information or misuse.

Methods of changes and recording in rules
Last year, the government had made changes in the election rules on the recommendation of the Election Commission, under which a provision has been made not to make some electronic records such as CCTV and webcast footage publicly. On May 30, the Election Commission had written a letter to the state officials, stating that many methods like photography, videography, CCTV and webcasting are adopted for recording of election process.

Muhammad Yunus on Dhaka: The interim government led by Mohammad Yunus in Bangladesh is facing opposition from opposition parties, civil servants, teachers and army. Nervous by this, the Unisu government has directed the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) to impose extensive restrictions on all public functions, processions and rallies in the capital Dhaka.

According to The Daily Star report, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police on Monday (June 9, 2025) has sealed the official residence of Mohammad Yunus Jamuna Guest House Bangladesh Secretariat and surrounding areas indefinitely.

Employees are protesting against the ordinance of the Yunus government

These strict steps have been taken in the Dhaka Secretariat amidst the weeks of protests against the ordinance of the Yunus government of civil servants and officials. According to the government’s ordinance, officers can be dismissed for misconduct within 14 days without any appropriate process. Civil servants called it an illegal black law and demanded immediate cancellation.

These new sanctions on protests in Central Dhaka have been imposed after similar instructions were issued on 10 May, when the Interim government deployed Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and paramilitary forces to protect major government establishments.

Warning of tough movement after 15 June

According to the report of Dhaka -based NewzbD, at present, the intensity of protests may be temporary due to Eid, but civil servants have warned that if their demands are not met by June 15, they will agitate more.

The interim government of Bangladesh, led by Younus, which came to power since 8 August 2024, is struggling with increasing challenges and protests. Yunus has promised to hold independent elections in the country by the first week of April 2026.
