Parliament Adjourned Amid Bihar Voter Roll Protests
Imagine the Parliament is like a school where important decisions are made.
Today, the grown-ups in charge (the MPs) had a big argument.
Some of them were upset about how the rules for choosing who can vote in a place called Bihar were being changed.
They wanted to talk about it, but the person in charge wouldn't let them.
So, they started making noise and holding up signs.
Because of all the noise, the grown-ups in charge had to stop the meeting for a while, like when your teacher sends you to timeout.
They'll try again later to see if they can have a more peaceful discussion.
Both the Rajya Sabha (RS) and Lok Sabha (LS) were adjourned on Wednesday due to opposition protests.
Opposition members protested against the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
Opposition parties demanded a discussion and rollback of the SIR process.
Protests led to disruptions during Question Hour in both houses.
The RS and LS proceedings were adjourned until 2 PM.
