Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Meet Om Birla to Discuss SIR Ahead of Bihar Polls

Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Meet Om Birla: Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla today and raised the issue of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in poll-bound Bihar.

Rahul Gandhi told reporters after the meeting that anyone involved in the SIR exercise in the Election Commission of India will not be spared.

"Most importantly, whoever in the Elections Commission is involved in this exercise, right from top to bottom, we will not spare you. You are working against India, and this is no less than treason," he said.

Earlier today, INDIA bloc MPs protested in front of Makkar Dawar in Parliament.

Both the Houses of Parliament witnessed sloganeering as the Opposition demanded a discussion on the SIR.
