LS Speaker Birla calls meet to break House deadlock over SIR
Dec-02-2025

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has called a meeting of party leaders break the deadlock in the House over the Opposition demand for a discussion on the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. 

The meeting comes in the wake of repeated disruptions in the Lok Sabha over the issue. Opposition MPs continued to raise slogans in the House demanding a discussion on the SIR of voter lists in 12 states and union territories, leading to the adjournment of the Lok Sabha for the day.

Meanwhile, in response to the opposition's opposition to the SIR, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju met floor leaders but ruled out a discussion on SIR, contending that it was an administrative matter of the Election Commission and the government had no role in it.

However, the minister was ready for a discussion on a broader subject of electoral reforms as it falls within the purview of the government. The opposition has been insisting that the government give an assurance on the floor of the House on the discussion on the SIR exercise.  

The Winter Session continues amid persistent disruptions, with the government urging MPs to cooperate to ensure the smooth functioning of parliamentary business.
