New Delhi, Aug 20 (PTI) The opposition MPs on Wednesday walked out of the Rajya Sabha after reiterating their demand to hold a debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.

The Upper House witnessed two adjournments in the pre-lunch sitting before reassembling at 2 pm.

Soon, the opposition MPs were once again on their feet, raising the demand for a discussion on the SIR and accusing the Union government of “vote theft”.

The House, however, took up The Indian Institute of Technology (Amendment) Bill, 2025. The opposition MPs then staged a walkout, even as the House proceedings continued. PTI AO ARI ARI
