NEW DELHI, AUG 13 (PTI): The Monsoon Session of Parliament turned out to be a near washout, more so in terms of debates, with vociferous protests and sloganeering limiting the business of both Houses to a multi-year low. Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned sine die following the recitation of the national song Vande Mataram immediately after their sittings resumed in the morning.
The government put the blame on the Opposition, mainly the Congress, while the other side held the ruling dispensation responsible for the session-long deadlock and said it was “unprecedented” that neither the prime minister nor the home minister attended the proceedings even once.
While Lok Sabha recorded 19 pre cent business, it was 39 percent in case of Rajya Sabha.
