    NEW DELHI: The governmentt would be compelled to press for the passage of bills in “national interest” without discussion if Parliament proceedings are disrupted, parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju warned on Monday, as the opposition continued its protest over the revision of Bihar’s electoral rolls, with Lok Sabha failing to take up two key proposed legislations related to sports. Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day as a mark of respect following the death of sitting MP and JMM founder Shibu Soren.On Parliament complex, Rijiju told reporters that the opposition had agreed to a two-day discussion over the National Sports Governance Bill, 2025 and National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025. These were important keeping in view India’s bid for the 2036 summer Olympic games but opposition members disrupted proceedings, he said. The Govt would be “compelled to press for the passage of the bills from Tuesday in ‘national interest’ as the proposed legislations are important for governance”, the minister said.The two sports-related bills were listed for discussion and passing on Monday. BJP member Jagdambika Pal, who was chairing proceedings in the afternoon when LS assembled after the first adjournment, reminded the opposition that since the Monsoon session began on July 21, not even a single bill has been passed by the House due to repeated disruptions. Before adjourning the House for the day, Pal said this is the third week when proceedings have been disrupted by sloganeering by opposition members. Both Rijiju and sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya echoed similar views. Rijiju made it clear that a debate on special intensive revisions of Bihar’s electoral rolls cannot take place in Parliament as the exercise is part of the Election Commission’s the Election Commission’s administrative action and functioning. Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla, he noted, had cited a ruling by former speaker Balram Jakhar, a late Congress veteran, that Parliament cannot discuss the functioning of a constitutional body like EC.
