Parliament's 2026 Monsoon Session Ends Amid Protests and Limited Legislative Debate
The 2026 Monsoon Session of Parliament concluded amid persistent disruptions and protests, primarily over police action against student protesters and alleged irregularities in Ram temple donations. Despite passing 12 bills, most were cleared without detailed debate, with Lok Sabha productivity at 19% and Rajya Sabha at 39%. The government, led by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and Home Minister Amit Shah, emphasized legislative achievements and readiness for discussion, while the Opposition, including Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and Rahul Gandhi, criticized the government's absence and called for accountability. Both sides blamed each other for the session's low productivity and confrontations.
