Winter Session set for clash over SIR, pollution and foreign policy

Opposition parties are preparing to confront the government on a wide range of issues as the Winter Session of Parliament begins on Monday, with concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, income inequality, pollution, foreign policy, and the Delhi blast topping their agenda.

Several MPs told ANI that their parties would push for substantive debates. RJD MP Manoj Kumar said political discourse had become “fictional”, with core public concerns sidelined. He stressed that income and equality must be discussed, adding that the SIR relief granted by the Supreme Court would not have been possible without opposition intervention. "Otherwise, Parliament will remain a museum-like structure," he said.
