The Story in Brief
NDTV reports that the Lok Sabha passed 11 bills during the Monsoon Session, but only the law on paper leaks saw any debate. The remaining 10 were rushed through amid constant ruckus and acrimony. Proceedings were repeatedly disrupted, with opposition MPs demanding discussions on key issues like price rise and Manipur violence.
The government accused the opposition of not letting the House function, while opposition parties said the Treasury benches were avoiding scrutiny. This session saw some of the worst logjams in recent years, with productivity taking a back seat. The lack of legislative debate raises concerns about the quality of laws passed.
The Indian Opinion
The usual blame-game masks a deeper failure: both sides treat Parliament as a battlefield, not a deliberative chamber. The government needed to accommodate dissent, but the opposition also chose disruption over strategy. Neither pays a price for wasted time. The real test will be whether the Rajya Sabha in the winter session insists on a legislative impact assessment for each rushed bill. Without that, the public loses faith in the very idea of parliamentary scrutiny.
