Both houses, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned sine die today. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla announced the adjournment of the House.
Mr Birla said that during the Monsoon Session of Lok Sabha, which began on July 20, 17 sittings of Lok Sabha took place.
During this period, the House functioned for 44 hours and 15 minutes, he said. In his concluding remarks, Mr Birla said that 20 Bills were introduced and 22 Bills passed during the session.
Speaker Om Birla expressed gratitude for cooperation in the proceedings and expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leaders of all the parties and MPs.
The Rajya Sabha was adjourned twice in the pre-lunch session amid an uproar by opposition members who demanded a discussion and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's a statement in the House on the situation in Manipur.
When the House reassembled for the post-lunch session, it returned to Lok Sabha the two proposed legislations on the Central and Integrated GST laws by a voice vote without any discussion. The proposed laws seek to levy 28 per cent tax on the full face value of bets in online gaming, casinos and horse race clubs.
