There was a huge banner in front of them which read ‘SIR- Loktantra Pe Vaar’ as they lined up on and near the steps of the Makar Dwar of Parliament and staged a protest for the seventh consecutive day.
With ‘Stop SIR’ placards in hand, several MPs of the opposition, including those of the Congress, DMK, TMC, Samajwadi Party, RJD and Left parties, participated in the protest and raised slogans.
The opposition has been protesting in both Houses of Parliament against the SIR, alleging the EC’s exercise was aimed at “disenfranchising voters” in Bihar ahead of the Assembly elections. They have been demanding a discussion on the issue in both Houses. PTI ASK DV DV
