New Delhi:
Amid fierce protests over the controversial farm bills, the monsoon session of parliament will conclude today, eight days ahead of schedule as the opposition boycotted proceedings in both houses. The monsoon session started earlier on September 14, five months after parliament was adjourned over the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The abrupt conclusion of the session comes amid an uproar over the government's big-ticket farm bills, which were passed by the Rajya Sabha on Sunday.
Yesterday, seven bills were passed in Rajya Sabha even as the Congress, Left parties, the TMC, the Samajwadi Party and the NCP decided to boycott House proceedings in protest against the suspension of eight MPs for the remainder of the session for unruly behaviour.
