Parliament's Monsoon Session ended on Thursday with the Lok Sabha adjourned sine die after repeated Opposition protests over police action against students at Jantar Mantar and alleged theft of Ram Temple donations. The House played all six stanzas of Vande Mataram before Speaker Om Birla adjourned without a valedictory speech. The session, which began on July 20, saw protests over the NEET paper leak as well. Home Minister Amit Shah offered a 24-hour debate on the student crackdown, but Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi rejected it, demanding to know who ordered the use of pellet guns. According to Business Today, Parliamentary disruptions cost an estimated Rs 216.15 crore in lost productivity. Nineteen Bills were passed with little debate, and Question Hour was severely affected.
