The Opposition on Sunday (November 30, 2025) demanded that a discussion be held in Parliament over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and indicated that functioning of both the Houses would be hampered if such a debate is not allowed.
During an all-party meeting convened by the government a day before the Winter session of Parliament, the Opposition parties also strongly pressed for a discussion on national security in the wake of the Delhi blast incident. They also alleged that the government wants to "finish off" democracy and "bury" parliamentary traditions.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the all-party meeting to discuss the agenda for the Winter session of Parliament starting on Monday (December 1, 2025) is a mere formality.
Mr. Ramesh, who attended the meeting, said the Modi government has made its intentions clear by listing a subject for a short duration discussion without any consultation with the Opposition.
"This session of 15 days will be the shortest in Parliamentary history. The Modi government has listed 13 Bills for passage. Of these one replaces an ordinance and two have gone through a committee of the Lok Sabha. So ten Bills have not been examined by the Standing Committee concerned," he said on X.
