Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day amid unrelenting protests by opposition parties demanding a debate on the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
Amid Sloganeering, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman introduced the Central Excise (Amendment) Bill 2025 to levy excise duty on tobacco and its related products. Sitharaman also introduced Health Security and National Security Cess Bill 2025 to impose a cess on the production of specified goods like pan masala. Finance Minister also introduced the Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Bill, 2025 to amend the Manipur Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.
Several Opposition members trooped into the Well shouting slogans and protesting over SIR, as they have been demanding a debate on the issue. LS Speaker Om Birla expressed displeasure over the behaviour of the protesting members saying that disrupting the proceedings of the House is not appropriate.
The Election Commission had announced SIR in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Puducherry, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. Among these, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala, and West Bengal will go to polls in 2026. In Assam, where polls are also due in 2026, the revision of electoral rolls was announced separately. It is being called 'Special Revision'.
The Session will provide a total of 15 sittings spread over a period of 19 days.
