The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|December 02, 2025
UNION Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju told the Rajya Sabha on Monday that the Government is open to a detailed discussion on the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, but urged the Opposition not to insist on a strict timeline, clarifying that their request for a debate is under active consideration.
Addressing Opposition concerns, Rijiju said, "Nobody is undermining any matter which was brought out by them in the all-party meeting or Business Advisory Committee (BAC). What I am saying is, it's under consideration ... if you put a condition that it has to be taken up today itself, then it becomes difficult, because you have to give certain space."
