SIR debate demand wipes out Day 1 of winter session | India News - The Times of India
The opening day of the Parliament’s Winter Session was overshadowed by heated arguments as the Opposition pressed for a detailed discussion on the controversial SIR issue. Their demand for an immediate debate disrupted scheduled legislative business, leading to repeated adjournments. Opposition parties accused the government of avoiding accountability, while the Treasury Bench insisted that the session’s original agenda should proceed without delay. The clash highlighted growing political tensions, with both sides sticking firmly to their positions. As a result, no substantial work could be carried out on the first day. Leaders across party lines later indicated that cooperation will depend on how the government handles demands for transparency and open discussion. The stalled beginning has raised concerns about how productive the rest of the Winter Session will be, with key bills and policy matters still pending. Observers believe continued confrontation could slow down critical parliamentary processes.
