Delhi/Hyderabad, Aug 13 (Maxim News): Session of Parliament, which concluded on Thursday, was successful in terms of legislative business but remained unsatisfactory in terms of productivity, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju told the media.
Addressing the media after both Houses were adjourned sine die, Rijiju said, “We view the Monsoon Session from two angles. In terms of business, it was a very successful session — we passed a total of 12 bills. However, from the perspective of debate and discussion, it was not as successful.” “In the Lok Sabha, only 19 per cent productivity was achieved, in relation to the total time allotted.
In the Rajya Sabha, productivity stood at 39 per cent as the Opposition parties created ruckus and occasionally staged walkouts,” he added. The Lower House saw debate only on one Bill, pertaining to paper leaks and their prevention. “The ‘Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act’ was passed through both the Houses after due deliberations and discussion,” he said.
