Since the Session began on 1 December, Opposition parties have been pushing for a dedicated debate on the SIR. Their protests have taken place both inside and outside Parliament, with senior leaders such as Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi holding posters and banners reading “Stop SIR – Stop Vote Chori”.  They argue that the SIR, presented as a clean-up of bogus or outdated entries, has been misused, especially during its rollout in Bihar, to target marginalised communities that traditionally support Opposition parties. The government has denied these allegations, insisting that the …
