Commotion and low productivity in monsoon session
The monsoon session, which began on July 21, ended on August 21, a day before its scheduled time. This session was disrupted due to continuous opposition and repeated uproar. The opposition was demanding discussion on the Special Summary Revision (SIR) of the voter list in Bihar, due to which the proceedings had to be postponed several times.
How was the functioning of the Lok Sabha?
The productivity of Lok Sabha in the monsoon session was around 31 percent, while the productivity of Rajya Sabha was recorded at around 39 percent. A total of fourteen bills were introduced in the Lok Sabha in this session. Of these, twelve bills were passed by the Lok Sabha, while the Rajya Sabha approved fifteen bills. A total of fifteen bills were approved by both the houses and one bill was withdrawn from the Lok Sabha.
During the session, a special discussion was also held on India’s successful anti-terrorism operation ‘Operation Sindoor’. This discussion was held in the Lok Sabha on 28 and 29 July and in the Rajya Sabha on 29 and 30 July. This operation was done in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam.
Congress asked- Why was the session kept so short?
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh expressed his displeasure over the dates of the winter session. He said that normally this session starts between 20th to 23rd November and lasts for 3 to 4 weeks, but this time it has been kept for only 15 days starting from 1st December. Jairam Ramesh raised the question as to what the government is trying to avoid.
He asked whether the session has been shortened due to the increasing pollution of Delhi, or does the government not have any bill or issue to discuss? He also hinted whether this move is a sign that Lok Sabha elections may be announced soon. According to him, this is the first time that the government seems to be trying to dispose of the session so quickly.
