Rajya Sabha Adjourned Amid Protests Over Electoral Rolls
The Rajya Sabha, India's upper house of Parliament, had its meeting cut short due to arguments.
Members were upset about the handling of electoral roll revisions in Bihar, and they protested.
The Deputy Chairman, who leads the meetings, had rejected 35 requests from members.
Despite the Deputy Chairman's request to allow the House to function and raise issues during Zero Hour, the protests continued, leading to the adjournment of the House for the day.
Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day due to Opposition protests.
The protests stemmed from disagreements over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
The House was initially adjourned until 2 pm after the tabling of papers and an obituary reference.
35 notices from members under Rule 267 were rejected by the Deputy Chairman.
The Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill 2025 was passed amidst the din.
