Amidst a prolonged parliamentary stalemate, the government is moving towards passing a pivotal sports bill in the Lok Sabha. The National Sports Governance Bill, set for consideration and passage, seeks to enhance transparency within sports organizations.
Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha tackles the extension of the President's rule in Manipur and responds to a deadlock fueled by the Opposition's demand for discussions on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Opposition, united as the INDIA bloc, challenges the Election Commission's alleged bias favoring the ruling party.
Despite repeated adjournments and fierce protests, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju underscores that the decision to debate the SIR lies with the parliamentary chairs, as per rules. The government nonetheless remains committed to pushing its legislative agenda forward.
