During an all-party meeting led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, opposition parties also raised concerns over national security and pollution but focused on SIR, alleging irregularities.

Despite the government’s agenda including various bills, the deadlock continues, with Congress emphasizing that SIR is a non-negotiable topic.
