00:28After nearly a week of drama and disruption, Dilok Sabha is finally ready to return to
00:47normal work from Monday.
00:49This comes after an all-party meeting cheered by Speaker Om Birla, where both the Centre
00:55and the opposition agreed to move forward.
00:59The main reason for the deadlock, a big fight over the revision of the electoral rolls in
01:05Bihar, but now it seems there's finally some common ground.
01:12Today too, the House couldn't run smoothly.
01:15As soon as the session started, opposition MPs were on their feet, raising objections
01:21about the voter list changes in Bihar.
01:24Om Birla, the Speaker, looked visibly upset.
01:29He reminded everyone that debate is okay, but it should happen through words, not protest
01:35or placards.
01:37But the Chow's didn't stop, so the Dilok Sabha was adjourned within 5 minutes.
01:42Only one question was taken up.
01:46So what is this whole issue about?
01:48It's about something called SIR, Special Intensive Revision of the Voter Rolls in Bihar.
01:56The opposition believes this process by the Election Commission could be unfair ahead of
02:01the state elections.
02:03That's why they have been protesting every single day since the session began.
02:09The India Alliance made a strong visual statement today.
02:13In the Parliament complex, leaders like Malik Arjun Khargay, Rahul Gandhi and others from TMC,
02:21RJD, DMK, SP and left parties held placards with SIR written on them.
02:27They tore up the placards and placed the pieces in a bin marked disposal, sending a clear message
02:36to the government and the Election Commission.
02:40Before the session turned stormy, the House came together for a moment of silence.
02:45MPs paid tribute to the brave soldiers who lost their lives in the 1999 Kargil War.
02:52With Kargil Vijay Devah's tomorrow, it was a movement of unity inside Parliament, reminding
02:58everyone what really matters.
03:00Now with both sides agreeing to talk, people are hoping that the House gets back to work
03:07and the focus returns to the people's issues.
