Opposition Parties Protest Bihar Voter Revision Exercise

Opposition parties in India are upset about a special review of voter lists happening in Bihar before elections.

They believe this review, called the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), might be used to unfairly change who can vote.

Opposition members are protesting in Parliament, trying to get discussions about it.

Some leaders are even talking about possibly not participating in the elections if the issue isn't addressed.

They worry the review could remove voters from the lists and change the election results.

The protests involve discussions and motions in both houses of Parliament.

The opposition believes the SIR may be expanded across the country.
