As Parliament's Monsoon Session is set to witness heated debates over issues such as the Ram temple controversy and the NEET-UG paper leak, the attendance of MPs is expected to play a key role. An analysis of attendance records from the Budget Session, which concluded in April, by the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) shows that smaller parties with only a handful of MPs recorded the highest attendance in both Houses, according to Ambika Pandit's Times of India report.
In the Lok Sabha, 101 MPs attended all 31 sittings of the Budget Session, accounting for just over one-fifth (21%) of the 483 members whose attendance data was publicly available.
