**Parliament Stalled by Protests Over Bihar Voter Roll Revision; Speaker Seeks Resolution**

**New Delhi, July 25, 2025** – Both houses of the Indian Parliament were adjourned today as opposition members continued their protests against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar. The protests, which saw MPs symbolically tearing and discarding posters related to SIR, have disrupted normal parliamentary proceedings.

Despite the disruptions, the Lok Sabha paid tribute to Kargil war heroes on Kargil Vijay Diwas, while the Rajya Sabha swore in four new members, including actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan.

Speaker Om Birla has been actively engaged in mediating the situation. A meeting with floor leaders resulted in a consensus to hold a discussion on “Operation Sindoor” on Monday, offering hope for a return to order next week. Jagdambika Pal urged the MPs to go back to their constituencies during the weekend and ask their voters if they want them to continue such disruptions or do they want them to participate in discussions.

The government has defended “Operation Sindoor,” launched in response to a cross-border terror attack, stating it was not initiated under international pressure. Union Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh clarified that the operation focused on dismantling terrorist infrastructure.

Amid the parliamentary gridlock, the search for a new Vice-President is underway following Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation. Sources suggest the replacement may be from the BJP. The Election Commission is expected to notify the vice-presidential election soon.

Meanwhile, Independence Day preparations are in full swing, with heightened security measures, including a ban on Chinese-made surveillance equipment around the Red Fort, due to the fallout of Operation Sindoor.
The Congress party expressed on Thursday said that the “Tughlaqi process” of the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar will be opposed at all forums and “all options are open” for the INDIA bloc.

Finally, the Parliament is preparing to form an inquiry committee to probe charges against an Allahabad High Court Judge.
