Pahalgam terror attack, Bihar SIR exercise likely to dominate Parliament
What's the story
The Monsoon Session of Parliament is expected to be a tumultuous one, with key issues such as Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, the Pahalgam terror attack, and "Operation Sindoor" set to take center stage. The opposition has demanded a discussion on these topics and insisted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should respond to the debate. The opposition also plans to discuss the "attack on migrants across the country" during this session.

Opposition raises concerns over electoral rolls special review
The opposition has also called for a debate on the "drift" in India's foreign policy, especially US President Donald Trump's repeated claims about mediating between India and Pakistan. They argue only PM Modi can address these claims. However, official sources claim PM Modi addressed Trump's assertions in a telephonic conversation. The opposition has also raised concerns over the "special intensive review" of Bihar electoral rolls, which they believe could impact voters' reviews across the country.

Government likely to highlight 'zero tolerance' toward terrorism
The government is likely to defend its actions by highlighting its "zero tolerance" policy toward terrorism. Official sources said the treasury will focus on how it has shown "zero tolerance" toward terrorism and its sponsors. The government is also expected to push for the passage of eight bills during this session, despite protests from the opposition.

Impeachment motion against SC judge; Yadav 'hate speech' issue
Despite the differences between the government and opposition, there will be rare bipartisanship in the Lok Sabha to bring a motion to impeach Justice Yashwant Varma for alleged corruption. However, a new fault line has emerged over the pending impeachment notice against Justice Shekhar Yadav of the Allahabad HC for "hate speech." The opposition is pushing for Yadav's sacking, but the government is reluctant to entertain it.
