The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides score own goals here. The Opposition protests but rejects a debate when offered, making its demand for accountability ring hollow. The government, boasting a majority, failed to manage the House or hold a structured discussion on the police action. The real loser is the taxpayer, who lost Rs 216 crore while Parliament stalled. A simple question: can either side name one concrete outcome for ordinary Indians from these three weeks of chaos?
