Parliament Disrupted Amidst Electoral Roll Dispute; Opposition, BJP Clash
The Indian Parliament had a chaotic day, with opposition parties causing disruptions.
This was primarily due to disagreements over changes to voter lists in Bihar and other concerns.
The government and opposition traded barbs, including a debate over the correct spelling of 'democracy'.
Some leaders also discussed the possibility of boycotting upcoming elections.
The Lok Sabha was adjourned and will reconvene on Friday.
This is the fourth day of such protests in Parliament.
Opposition MPs disrupted Lok Sabha, leading to its adjournment until Friday.
The disruption stemmed from protests over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
BJP criticized the opposition for misspelling 'loktantra' during a protest.
Tejashwi Yadav indicated the RJD may boycott upcoming Bihar assembly polls over the SIR controversy.
NDA leaders claim the RJD's stance signals acceptance of defeat.
