The INDIA bloc partners on Wednesday dubbed the special intensive revision of voter rolls in Bihar as day light 'dacoity' (robbery) and accused the government of not holding the discussion on the same in Parliament.

Congress president and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge along with the members of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) partners addressed a press conference at Vijay Chowk outside Parliament and targeted the government for not holding a detailed discussion on the SIR exercise.

Speaking to media, Kharge said that INDIA bloc parties are united in demanding a discussion in Parliament on the voter roll revision exercise in Bihar as it is important to protect the voting rights of all Indians. He also pointed out that minorities, Dalits and tribals are facing the risk of losing their voting rights. "INDIA bloc parties want discussion in Parliament on SIR of electoral rolls in Bihar but government is unwilling to do it," he alleged.
