Congress MP Manickam Tagore on Friday submitted an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha, seeking a discussion on the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls being carried out by the Election Commission in Bihar ahead of the Assembly polls, reported ANI. 

Submitting the adjournment motion, Manickam Tagore sought an emergency discussion on SIR, describing it as "mass disenfranchisement of 65 lakh voters in Bihar - deliberate assault on the constitution and democracy by the Modi government using the Election Commission."

Calling the Election Commission a "tool" of the BJP government and an "enabler of electoral apartheid," Tagore urged the House to adjourn and take up the issue for discussion, reported ANI.
