Debate on SIR: Parliament Reconvening Demand, Amit Shah Challenge and Winter Session Possibility

What's behind this

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday challenged Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi to a parliamentary debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, saying the Centre was prepared to convene a special session for the discussion. The call has sparked calls for Parliament to reconvene, with suggestions of a possible winter session. Meanwhile, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said Rahul’s offer to debate still stands, framing the issue within a broader SIR and vote‑theft row.
