Why are Opposition MPs protesting the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar?
They allege it aims to disenfranchise votersOpposition MPs from the INDIA bloc, including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Akhilesh Yadav, and others, have been staging protests against the Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar. They claim the exercise is a systematic attempt to remove weaker sections of society from voter lists, thereby undermining democratic rights. The protest, held for the fifth consecutive day at Parliament's Makar Dwar, featured slogans like 'SIR-Attack on Democracy' and 'Stop SIR'. Leaders like Rahul Gandhi called it a 'dangerous conspiracy to steal votes', while Kharge accused the ruling party of promoting a 'Manuwadi mentality'. The bloc demands a rollback of SIR and a discussion in both Houses of Parliament.

What reason did the Supreme Court give for doubting Madhya Pradesh Minister Vijay Shah's intentions regarding his apology?
The apology was only shared online and not placed on court recordThe Supreme Court expressed skepticism about MP Minister Vijay Shah's public apology for his remarks against Army officer Col Sofiya Qureshi, stating he was 'testing the court’s patience'. The bench, comprising Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi, questioned the authenticity and seriousness of an apology that was merely shared online. The court emphasized that a genuine public apology must be formally placed on record, not just circulated digitally. Senior advocate K Parmeshwar claimed the apology was shared online, but the bench insisted on seeing it in official court documents. The court also mandated a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to submit its report by August 13 and adjourned the hearing to August 18.

What was the basis of the in-house inquiry panel's recommendation for Justice Yashwant Varma's impeachment?
Discovery of a huge cache of half-burnt cash at his official residenceThe in-house inquiry panel recommended the impeachment of Justice Yashwant Varma after a fire incident at his official residence in Delhi revealed a large quantity of half-burnt cash in a storeroom under his family's control. The three-judge panel, led by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu, conducted a 10-day inquiry, examined 55 witnesses, and visited the site. It concluded that Justice Varma and his family had covert or active control over the storeroom, amounting to judicial misconduct serious enough to warrant removal. Then CJI Sanjiv Khanna forwarded the report to the President and Prime Minister, recommending impeachment. Justice Varma challenged the report, alleging procedural unfairness and reversal of burden of proof, but the Supreme Court is yet to rule on the plea.

She acknowledged the importance of taking action but questioned why such unity and public support were absent during the horrific incidents of violence in Manipur, which were widely circulated on social media. Yadav suggested that if the same level of solidarity had been shown then, it would have reflected genuine concern for women's dignity. Her remarks underscored the perceived double standards in political responses to gender-based attacks. The issue sparked a broader debate on consistency in upholding democratic and ethical values across parties.
