New Delhi, Jul 30 (PTI): Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha deputy leader Sagarika Ghose has emphasized the significance of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar, asserting that it's a critical issue needing parliamentary discussion. The party has committed to forcefully raising the matter in the House.
Ghose emphasized, "The Opposition has actively participated in the debate concerning the Pahalgam attack, but the most urgent matter presently is the SIR. We've consistently submitted notices, yet they remain unacknowledged."
She noted the alarming removal of numerous voters from Bihar's electoral roll, prompting questions about whether citizens' voting rights are being undermined and if the BJP is leveraging the Election Commission to further its own objectives.
While the exercise is currently focused on Bihar, Ghose claimed that West Bengal is the main target, warning, "This threatens the fundamental framework of our democracy." She reiterated the intention to bring up the matter in Parliament should their call for a debate continue to be ignored.
The issue of SIR has mobilized opposition parties, sparking protests and calls for discussion in both parliamentary chambers. There have also been demonstrations by opposition MPs within the Parliament complex, urging a halt to the exercise.
