Parliamentary proceedings have been largely stalled due to ongoing disruptions by the opposition, primarily concerning demands for a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. The government, however, maintains that SIR is an administrative function of the Election Commission and not subject to parliamentary debate.

Faced with these disruptions, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has indicated that the government may be compelled to press for the passage of bills without discussion, citing the "national interest" and the importance of the proposed legislations for governance. Rijiju stated that while the government prefers thorough discussion on bills, the continued disruptions may force their hand.

On August 4, 2025, the Lok Sabha saw little transaction of any listed business, and the Rajya Sabha was adjourned as a mark of respect for its member and former Jharkhand chief minister, Shibu Soren, who passed away. The government had planned to take up the National Sports Governance Bill and the National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill for consideration and passage in the Lok Sabha on Monday, but proceedings were disrupted.

Rijiju criticized the opposition, stating they had previously agreed to a two-day discussion on the National Sports Governance Bill and National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill. He also pointed out that Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla cited a ruling by a former speaker, Balram Jakhar, stating that Parliament cannot discuss the functioning of constitutional bodies like the Election Commission. According to Rijiju, Parliament can discuss electoral reforms but not the Election Commission's administrative actions.

The opposition's insistence on a debate over the SIR of electoral rolls in Bihar has created a deadlock. The government views the SIR as an administrative matter handled by the Election Commission, while the opposition seeks to bring it under parliamentary scrutiny. This difference in opinion has resulted in disruptions and stalled legislative work since the beginning of the session on July 21, with the exception of limited discussions on security matters.

Given the impasse, the government is now considering invoking procedures to pass key bills, even without extensive debate. Rijiju has emphasized the importance of these bills for governance and indicated that the government will prioritize their passage in the "national interest". However, such a move is likely to draw further criticism from the opposition, who may argue that it undermines parliamentary procedure and democratic principles by limiting the opportunity for debate and scrutiny.
