Overview

  • Deputy Chairman Harivansh formally rejected all 21 Rule 267 notices seeking discussion on the Special Intensive Revision of Bihar’s electoral rolls, prompting successive adjournments in the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha.
  • Opposition MPs staged walkouts in the Rajya Sabha and protested inside the Lok Sabha wearing ‘124 Not Out’ T-shirts and holding onions to dramatize claims of mass voter exclusion.
  • INDIA bloc leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were stopped by police during a march to the Election Commission and briefly detained on allegations of unlawful protest.

  • The Supreme Court has scheduled hearings for August 12 and 13 and ordered the Election Commission to provide constituency-wise deletion data for judicial review of the SIR exercise.
