Parliament Monsoon Session - August 08 - Sep 07,2012

The month-long Monsoon session of Parliament ends on Friday and it may have just been one of the least productive sessions of all time.


When the session began on August 8, 30 bills were on government's agenda.Only 4 bills were passed due to the Coal Blocks Allocation Scam logjam, including the Protection of Women Against Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill and the AIIMS Amendment Bill.
Of 15 bills listed for introduction, just 5 were introduced.
Of the 108 hours that the Lok Sabha was scheduled to meet, it worked for just 24 hours and the Rajya Sabha worked for 26 of 90 hours.
