Parliament's Monsoon Session was adjourned sine die on August 13 after 25 days, with Lok Sabha recording just 19 per cent business and Rajya Sabha 39 per cent. Twelve bills were passed by both Houses, but only the anti-paper leak bill saw debate. Rajya Sabha Chairman CP Radhakrishnan voiced 'deep concern' over disruptions that 'derailed' business. The government blamed Congress for the near-washout, with minister Kiren Rijiju saying the Opposition was 'running away from debate'. The Opposition countered that the ruling dispensation was 'scared and rattled', noting neither the PM nor home minister attended proceedings. Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned amid student protests during the session.
