The Lok Sabha was adjourned until 2 pm on Monday as Opposition parties continued their demonstrations demanding a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Winter Session, which consists of 15 sittings, began with repeated disruptions. The House faced two adjournments before 2 pm, and after it reassembled at noon, proceedings lasted for only about twelve minutes. During this brief period, Opposition MPs moved into the Well of the House, raised slogans, and pressed for a debate on SIR, maintaining their stance from earlier meetings.

Despite the uproar, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman used the short Zero Hour to introduce three key bills and place the supplementary demands for grants for the 2025–2026 financial year. Among the bills were two proposals aimed at imposing excise duty on tobacco and tobacco products and creating a new cess on the production of pan masala. These were the Central Excise (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and the Health Security and National Security Cess Bill, 2025. She also introduced the Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Bill, 2025, which follows an ordinance issued earlier as Manipur remains under President’s Rule.

As Opposition protests showed no signs of stopping, the Speaker adjourned the House again until 2 pm. Leaders from Opposition parties had already stated, after an all-party meeting on Sunday, that they would strongly push for a debate on SIR. The Election Commission has implemented SIR in multiple regions, including Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry, and West Bengal, all of which are scheduled for elections in 2026. In Assam, also headed for polls that year, a separate “Special Revision” of electoral rolls has been launched.
