After the Winter session last year which was washed away over the 2G scam issue, the monsoon session of Parliament that concluded today was the second most tumultuous session during the current Lok Sabha.

The Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha saw frequent disruptions with at least half of the 26 sittings getting paralysed over a range of issues from Anna Hazare to Gujarat Lokayukta and cash-for-vote scam.

Despite the government having a heavy agenda with 30 odd bills, frequent disruptions and forced adjournments ensured passage of only 14 bills in Lok Sabha and just nine in the Rajya Sabha.

While adjourning the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha sine die, Speaker Meira Kumar and Chairman Hamid Ansari lamented the loss due to frequent interruptions.

"Regrettably, we lost over 51 hours and six minutes due to interruptions followed by forced adjournments," Kumar said noting that the session had 26 sittings spread over 104 hours and three minutes.

She frowned upon the repeated demands for suspension of Question Hour leading to its disruption.

"I hope in future the House will not allow suspension or disruption of the Question Hour since it is irretrievable," she said. .
