INDIA Bloc Protests: A Stand Against Bihar's Voter Roll Revision

In a persistent show of dissent, Members of Parliament (MPs) from the INDIA bloc, led by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, have been protesting against the Election Commission's voter roll revision in Bihar. This marks the ninth consecutive day of demonstrations at the Parliament House complex.

Key political figures, such as Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and DMK's TR Baalu, joined the protest ahead of Parliament's daily proceedings. They raised slogans and displayed banners that accused the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of being a direct attack on democracy.

Allegations of collusion between the Election Commission and the government sparked the protests, with opposition parties like Congress, DMK, TMC, and Left parties demanding a House discussion. They claim the voter roll changes aim to disenfranchise voters in Bihar before the Assembly elections.
