Catch the live updates from the Parliament's Monsoon Session! The Lok Sabha has been adjourned until noon amidst a stir from the Opposition.

Parliament Monsoon Session Live Updates: The Congress party has put forth a motion in both Houses of Parliament, calling for a discussion on the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) happening in Bihar. This move comes just days after the Election Commission released the draft voter roll data, which notably excluded over 65 lakh voter enumeration forms. The Opposition has reacted strongly, accusing the Election Commission of acting under the influence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government. In a notice for an adjournment motion to the Lok Sabha secretary, Congress MP Manickam Tagore highlighted concerns about widespread name deletions and “unjustified inclusions” in the draft voter rolls. Opposition parties have been pushing for the adjournment of both Houses of Parliament, insisting on a debate regarding the SIR in Bihar. What’s on the agenda today? The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, is set to be introduced. This bill, presented by Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, aims to foster ethical sports development, prioritize athlete welfare, and ensure fair dispute resolution. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will discuss the budget expenditures for Manipur and provide an overview of the estimated receipts and expenditures for the state. Additionally, the Merchant Shipping Bill, 2024 will be introduced, which seeks to consolidate existing laws to better align with international maritime treaties. Congress MP Randeep Surjewala is also calling for a special discussion in the Rajya Sabha regarding the ‘integrity of electoral processes,’ particularly focusing on the exclusion of vulnerable communities from voter lists.
