On the second day of India's Parliament Winter Session 2025, opposition leaders protested against the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to move the Central Excise Amendment Bill for passage amid ongoing demands for debate. The session, the shortest since 1952, has seen disruptions and walkouts over key issues.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has written to the Chief Election Commissioner criticizing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging it has led to 77 deaths and aims to exclude voters. She highlighted the lack of sensitivity in the hearing process and urged corrective actions.
