Parliament Monsoon Session Concludes Amid Opposition Protests and Deadlock
The Monsoon Session of the Indian Parliament concluded on its scheduled final day, marked by significant disruptions and a deadlock between the government and the opposition. The opposition demanded a statement and response from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding alleged police excess during student protests, while the government offered a debate. The session saw little business, with Question Hour cancelled and several bills passed rapidly amid protests. The Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die, and the Rajya Sabha faced a "shuddhikaran" row. Despite the disruptions, at least 19 bills were cleared, with seven passed in 36 minutes without discussion.
