The Story in Brief
The Lok Sabha has wasted 7,023 minutes due to disruptions during the Monsoon Session, leading to a financial loss of approximately Rs 175 crore. NDTV reports that the House incurs an expenditure of about Rs 2.5 lakh per minute.
The Indian Opinion
The figure of Rs 175 crore wasted is staggering, but it only counts sitting time, not the cost of bills delayed or public business stalled. Opposition and ruling parties both routinely disrupt Parliament, yet each blames the other. The real test is whether this specific number will force a discussion on fixing the rules of adjournment, or just become another data point in blame games.
