Parliament Highlights | Both Houses adjourned amid Oppn ruckus over Bihar SIR exerciseHello readers. The Monsoon Session of the Parliament has seen a rocky start, with the week flying by with little-to-no business conducted in the two Houses. The session, so far, has been marked by repeated disruptions, with Opposition MPs demanding a discussion on the Election Commission (EC)'s special intensive roll (SIR) revision exercise in the poll-bound state of Bihar. With the Modi government remaining non-committal on the issue, Opposition protests have rocked Parliament, leading to repeated adjustments. Friday was no different. Catch us again on Monday, when Parliament reconvenes.
