# Opposition unites to block bills as stormy Monsoon Session ends 2026-08-13T12:40:39+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 4 independent outlets The Opposition blocked key legislation including the delimitation Bill and a Bill on foreign contribution during the Monsoon Session that ended on Thursday after 19 sittings. The Lok Sabha functioned for only 17.5 hours with zero completed Question Hours, while the Rajya Sabha worked for 37.4 hours. Congress claimed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah stayed away from Parliament, appearing only on the final day. Student protests over the NEET-UG paper leak and allegations of theft at the Ram temple dominated the session. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned, and the government referred the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill to a joint committee. The only legislation passed after full debate was the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill. The Congress called it 'the first time a government appeared so scared and rattled'. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com - newindianexpress.com - hindustantimes.com - timesnownews.com Tags: BJP, Congress, Monsoon session, Opposition, paper leaks, Parliament Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/opposition-claims-modi-govt-scared-rattled-as-monsoon-session-ends/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
