Bihar, SIR to dominate Dec 1-19 Winter Session

THE outcome of Bihar’s assembly elections is expected to dominate the Winter Session of Parliament, which will be held from December 1 to 19.

The Opposition is also planning to up the ante on the nationwide Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and the alleged vote theft in Haryana and Maharashtra. Though there is no joint Opposition strategy on SIR so far, Opposition-ruled states Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Kerala have intensified their protest against the exercise. All parties will come together to oppose the SIR during the session, said an Opposition leader.
