Frequent disruptions, stalled Question Hour, and no private members’ business marked the Monsoon Session.
The Monsoon Session of Parliament concluded on Thursday (August 21, 2025) with both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha adjourned sine die.
The session, which ran for the scheduled 21 days from July 21 to August 21, saw frequent disruptions that consumed nearly two-thirds of the allotted time. As a result, the Lok Sabha functioned for only 29% of its scheduled hours, while the Rajya Sabha managed 34%, marking the lowest productivity in the 18th Lok Sabha so far.
Lok Sabha adjourned due to noisy protests by opposition parties demanding discussion on SIR in Bihar.
