The final week of the Monsoon Session was as chaotic as its beginning. Opposition MPs continued protests over alleged ‘vote chori’ and Bihar’s special intensive revision until the last day. The session, which ran from July 21 to August 21, lasted 32 days with 18 sittings. Against the scheduled 120 hours of discussion in each House, disruptions allowed only 37 hours of effective business in the Lok Sabha and 41 hours and 15 minutes in the Rajya Sabha. Apart from two days of debate on “Operation Sindoor,” little substantive discussion took place.
