RAS question
During the Winter Session of Parliament 2025, the opposition demanded a debate on which of the following issues, causing adjournment of both Houses on December 2?
Correct answer: (B) Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
During the Winter Session of Parliament 2025, both Houses were adjourned on December 2 amid Opposition protests demanding discussion on the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
Explanation
The issue was the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, not a general legislative or policy debate. Both Houses were adjourned on December 2 after Opposition protests over SIR, with parties seeking a full debate on alleged irregularities in voter-list revision and the role of booth level officers. Business Standard reported that the second day of the Winter Session turned turbulent on December 2, 2025, and Parliament was adjourned at 2:05 pm after sustained Opposition protests demanding an immediate discussion on the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. That makes option B the precise issue linked to the adjournments.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Uniform Civil Code implementation did not trigger the December 2 adjournments.
- (C) One Nation One Election Bill was not the subject of the Opposition's demand for debate on that day.
- (D) National Education Policy 2025 amendments are outside the stated cause of the disruption, which was the electoral-roll SIR and alleged irregularities in that process.
Concept
This tests Parliament in current affairs: how disruptions, adjournments and demands for debate arise around governance and electoral processes. It recurs in RAS because legislative procedure is often asked through recent parliamentary events rather than only through static rules.
