Amit Shah challenges Rahul Gandhi to debate SIR in special Parliament session, says BJP ready

What's behind this

Home Minister Amit Shah challenged Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi to stop street allegations against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and debate the issue in Parliament, speaking at a gathering in Karnal. BJP leaders, including national vice‑president Ram Madhav, accused the Congress of spreading lies to malign the SIR process. In response, Congress criticised Shah’s handling of internal security, referencing violence in Manipur and other unrest, and called for a change in Home Ministry leadership, with leaders such as Pawan Khera and the party demanding Shah relinquish the portfolio.
