The Monsoon session of Parliament, the fifth one of the 18th Lok Sabha that saw unprecedented protests over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in poll-bound Bihar, came to a close yesterday with the Speaker of Lok Sabha and the Vice Chairman of Rajya Sabha expressing anguish over the continuous and planned disruptions leading to the total washout.
The productivity of the Lok Sabha was pegged at 31%, the Rajya Sabha 39% - the Lok Sabha held discussions only for 37 hours while the Rajya Sabha held discussions for 41 hours 15 minutes.
The government was smart enough to pass the following Bills by both the Houses of Parliament :-
* The Bills of Lading Bill, 2025
* The Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025
* The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment ) Bill, 2025
* The Manipur Appropriation (No.2) Bill, 2025
* The Merchant Shipping Bill, 2025
* The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of
Goa Bill, 2025
* The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025
* The National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025
* The Income Tax Bill, 2025
* The Taxation laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025
* The Indian Ports Bill, 2025
* The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025
* The Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2025
* The promotion and regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025
And the bill on 'tainted' PM, CMs and ministers sent to a JPC!
My take
A great effort to get the important Bills passed but the sad thing is that they've been cleared sans discussions!
Tailpiece.
Got up at 5, sent all the messages, switched on the hymns on the home theatre, lit the puja room lamp and opened up the house for the day.
Walked on the road in front of The Quarterdeck and recited my prayers.
A quiet evening.
