The Monsoon Session of Parliament ended on August 13 with Lok Sabha being adjourned sine die soon after the national song Vande Mataram was played. Speaker Om Birla made the announcement as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were present in the House. The session, which began on July 21, saw little business due to a prolonged deadlock between the government and Opposition over police action against student protesters at Jantar Mantar. Opposition parties had demanded a statement from Amit Shah over the use of pellet guns and lathi charge against students protesting the NEET paper leak. Shah offered an extended debate, but Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi rejected it, saying the youth wanted answers, not a lecture. Despite disruptions, Parliament passed 19 Bills, including the Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill without debate. The FCRA Amendment Bill was sent to a 31-member joint parliamentary committee. A row over a 'shuddhikaran' ceremony at a venue after a Congress rally also disrupted Rajya Sabha proceedings.
