The Lok Sabha will take up a debate on the 150th anniversary of National Song 'Vande Mataram' on Monday (December 8, 2025) and on electoral reforms on Tuesday (December 9), Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said.
The decision was taken after an all-party meeting and a Business Advisory Committee (BAC) chaired by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, signalling that the logjam prevailing in both Houses over the Opposition's demand to discuss Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is likely to be broken.
SIR 2.0: All about enumeration form, draft roll, appeal against exclusion
"During the All Party Meeting Chaired by Speaker Lok Sabha today, it has been decided to hold discussion in Lok Sabha on 150th Anniversary of National Song 'Vande Mataram' from 12 Noon on Monday, December 8 and discussion on Election Reforms from 12 noon on Tuesday, December 9," Mr. Rijiju said in a post on X.
Just ahead of the BAC meeting, Mr. Birla met party leaders to break the deadlock in the House over the Opposition's demand for a discussion on SIR.
