High-voltage drama unfolded in the national capital on Monday as opposition MPs led a protest march from Parliament\u2019s Makar Dwar to the Election Commission\u2019s office over the allegations of \u2018vote theft\u2019.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, amid frequent disruptions, the Parliament\u00a0passed eight Bills as Union minister Kiren Rijiju slammed the opposition parties for disruptions of both the Houses of Parliament and announced that the government would proceed with the legislative agenda without their participation.<\/p>\n

8 Bills Passed In Parliament<\/h3>\n

The Lok Sabha passed four Bills \u2014 The National Sports Governance Bill, The National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, The Income-Tax (No 2) Bill and Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill \u2014 amid protests from the Opposition on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.<\/p>\n

The Rajya Sabha passed The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill and The Merchant Shipping Bill, and also returned the Manipur Appropriation Bill and The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, which were already passed by the Lok Sabha.<\/p>\n

The Income-Tax (No. 2) Bill, 2025, containing over 500 clauses, was introduced by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and passed by the treasury benches in a matter of minutes without discussion. Immediately afterwards, the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025 was also passed in one minute, again without debate.<\/p>\n

Both Bills were introduced only two hours earlier and placed on the House\u2019s agenda through a supplementary list.\u00a0During the proceedings, the few opposition MPs protested over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar and allegations of \u201cvote theft”. Slogans of \u201cLoktantra ki hatya bandh karo<\/em>” (\u201cStop murdering democracy”) and \u201cShame! Shame!” were audible throughout.<\/p>\n

When the Bills were taken up, there were hardly any opposition members in the House as most of them were detained during their protest march.<\/p>\n

The Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, Wayand MP Priyanka Gandhi, TMC\u2019s Mahua Moitra and Sagrika Ghosh, Shiv Sena (UBT)\u2019s Sanjay Raut were among multiple leaders and MPs who were detained by Delhi Police.<\/p>\n

Rijiju Takes A Dig At Opposition<\/h3>\n

While addressing a press conference, Rijiju slammed the opposition parties for repeated disruptions of the Parliament and also hinted at an early end of the Monsoon session.<\/p>\n

He said that the Congress and other opposition parties were not interested in allowing Parliament to function.<\/p>\n

\u201cWoh toh dekhte hai<\/em> (Let us see it)\u2026 Opposition is not interested in allowing Parliament to function. The Opposition is interested only in headline management. They do not trust democratic institutions,” Rijiju said as quoted by news agency PTI<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day, we will not allow the country\u2019s and Parliament\u2019s time to be wasted on one issue. Therefore, we will pass important Bills,” Rijiju said.<\/p>\n

The minister said the government was keen to have a discussion on important Bills, but repeated disruptions by the Opposition were leading to adjournments of both Houses of Parliament.<\/p>\n

He said the opposition members were not interested in raising matters related to public interest and were only keen on protesting on one issue every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have raised an issue, do it for one day. What is the point in raising the same issue every day?” the minister said, referring to the Opposition\u2019s protests on the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar.<\/p>\n

The Opposition\u2019s Protest<\/h3>\n

Opposition parties have been demanding a rollback of the SIR of electoral rolls in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections this year.<\/p>\n

The Opposition has been seeking a discussion on the issue in Parliament, a demand dismissed by the government, contending that the functioning of a constitutional authority cannot be discussed in the House.<\/p>\n

Around 300 Opposition MPs, including Congress\u2019s Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, SP\u2019s Akhilesh Yadav, marched to the Election Commission office over the \u2018vote theft\u2019 allegations.<\/p>\n

While speaking to reporters, Rahul Gandhi refused to submit a formal declaration to substantiate his allegation, saying it was the poll body\u2019s data, not his own, that he had been asked to sign in the affidavit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is their (Election Commission) data. It is not my data that I will sign (an affidavit)\u2026 Put that data on your website and you will get to know. All this is just to distract from the issue. This has not just taken place in Bengaluru but several other constituencies too\u2026” Rahul Gandhi said, as quoted by news agency ANI.<\/p>\n
