With the beginning of the winter session of Parliament, all the opposition parties including Congress, Trinamool Congress (TMC), Samajwadi Party (SP) and DMK have started creating ruckus regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of voter list being conducted by the Election Commission in 12 states and union territories of the country. Even on Tuesday (December 2, 2025), the second day of the winter session, the opposition is continuously protesting vigorously demanding discussion on SIR, due to which the proceedings of the Parliament are being disrupted repeatedly.

However, now efforts have started to end the deadlock in Parliament. According to sources, currently discussions are going on that if the demand of the opposition parties is accepted, then under which rule the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list being done by the Election Commission of India (ECI) can be discussed in the Parliament.

Under which rule is the opposition demanding discussion?

The opposition parties are demanding discussion under Rule 267 i.e. adjournment of the proceedings of the House, the possibility of discussion under that rule is negligible. However, special discussion is also taking place on the fact that the decision of SIR is of the Election Commission. Therefore, instead of directly discussing SIR, issues like election reforms should be discussed in both the Houses of Parliament, in which political parties and MPs will be able to bring up the issue of SIR as per their own.

Final decision is yet to be taken regarding the discussion

Although, no final decision has been taken yet regarding the discussion on the issue of SIR during the winter session of the Parliament, but the discussion has definitely started and if there is a consensus on the ideas between the Central Government and the opposition parties, then it is possible to discuss electoral reforms on the floor of the Parliament in the coming days.

After the commencement of the House, there was a ruckus on SIR once again. Nitish Kumar stood up. CM said that these people make uproar, see their clothes… Today all are wearing the same kind of black cloth. Went a color cloth yesterday. You guys together upside down, there is no work. Everyone has benefited how much work the government did.
