Parliament will witness a high-voltage Tuesday as the Winter Session intensifies, with the Lok Sabha holding a 10-hour debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists—led by Rahul Gandhi for the Congress—and Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu briefing the House on the ongoing IndiGo crisis that has seen over 200 flights cancelled on December 9 alone. In the Rajya Sabha, the discussion on the 150th anniversary of ‘Vande Mataram’—initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha on Monday—will continue, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah expected to open for the government.

The SIR debate, one of the most awaited confrontations of the session, stems from Opposition allegations of large-scale deletions and discrepancies in voter rolls across states under the Election Commission’s November 2025 exercise. Congress has issued a three-line whip to ensure full attendance, with senior leaders including KC Venugopal, Manish Tewari, and Varsha Gaikwad lined up to speak. The government has dismissed the charges as baseless, insisting the revision is a routine cleanliness drive.

Separately, Naidu will face questions in the Lok Sabha after Congress MP Manickam Tagore moved an adjournment motion holding the ministry accountable for IndiGo’s collapse, passenger harassment, and skyrocketing fares. On Monday, the minister told the Rajya Sabha that IndiGo failed to flag crew-rest compliance issues despite a December 1 meeting, blaming the airline’s “internal system” for grounding flights since December 2 due to new FDTL norms. The carrier has refunded ₹827 crore to 9.55 lakh affected passengers so far.

The Rajya Sabha will echo Monday’s Lok Sabha celebration of ‘Vande Mataram’, where Modi hailed the Bankim Chandra Chatterjee composition as a unifying “sacred war cry” against colonialism and accused Congress of truncating its stanzas in 1937—an allegation the Opposition branded as diversionary politics ahead of Bengal elections.

With both houses packed with politically charged debates, Tuesday is poised to see sharp exchanges on electoral integrity, aviation accountability, and historical narratives, as the winter session—running until December 19—enters a crucial phase.
