PArliament monsoon session unrecorded: Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha take up proceedings on th amid uproar from the oppositeness republic of india bloc demanding a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. However, the Union government has rejected the demand, citing the matter is sub judice before the Supreme Court.Union minister Kiren Rijiju said in the House on Wednesday, “We all know that the matter of SIR is under the consideration of the Supreme Court. The matter raised by the opposition is clearly sub judice, so a discussion on this issue cannot be held in this House.” He invoked Rule 186 and Rule 352 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business to support the BJP-led government's stand.Rijiju further stated that the Election Commission of India, being an autonomous constitutional body, could not be subjected to House discussions on its functioning.A similar ruling had been given a day earlier in the Rajya Sabha by deputy chairman Harivansh Singh.The row over Bihar Special Intensive Revision (SIR) intensifies after the poll body released the draft voter roll data from Bihar’s SIR exercise, excluding over 65 lakh voter enumeration forms.
