Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha faced major disruptions on Tuesday (July 22, 2025) on the second day of the Monsoon Session amid Opposition protest over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls being undertaken by the Election Commission (EC) in Bihar ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections.

Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned till July 23. The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will again meet at 11 a.m. on Wednesday (July 23, 2025).
Earlier today, Lok Sabha was first adjourned till 12 p.m., minutes after it convened. The Lower House was adjourned again till 2 p.m., shortly after it reconvened amid Opposition protest. Targeting the opposition for creating ruckus in the House, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said that the government is ready for discussion, but the Opposition is “wasting public money” by indulging in protest.
Similarly, in the Rajya Sabha, Opposition MPs raise slogans, demanding a discussion on the revision of the electoral roll in Bihar. As the Question Hour began, Ghanshyam Tiwari announced that “the Ministry of Home Affairs vide notification 22.07.2025 has conveyed the resignation of Vice-President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar under Article 67(a) of the Constitution with immediate effect”. Opposition continued to create ruckus in the House and it was later adjourned.
Multiple leaders, including Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, stood at the steps of Parliament at Makar Dwar and protested against the Bihar SIR, calling for the exercise to be halted.
Multiple leaders were seen carrying posters condemning the revision exercise, holding placards calling it a “stealing of Indian Rights,” “death of democracy,” and more. The issue of Bihar SIR has been a contentious one with the INDIA bloc MPs demanding a discussion on it in the Parliament.
