Amid spotlight on diatribe and the theatrics of the no-confidence debate, the Parliament’s Monsoon session concluded on Friday. But the short session, marked by the opposition-led ruckus, also saw some key strides being made in core legislation. This is significant, especially during a session which recorded 45 percent productivity in Lok Sabha and 63 percent productivity in Rajya Sabha, as stated by the parliamentary affairs minister Pralhad Joshi.
During the session, Lok Sabha passed 22 bills, while the Rajya Sabha gave nod to 25, and 23 other bills were passed by both the Houses. Now, these bills need to get President Draupadi Murmu’s assent before being notified as an Act. Besides the bills that were passed, some crucial bills were introduced – and the forthcoming winter or the budget sessions will likely see discussion on them.
