Here are the updates from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on Day 12 of the Monsoon Session of the Parliament
On the 11th day of the Monsoon Session, the Lok Sabha took up the long-awaited discussion on price rise in the presence of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who recently recuperated from COVID-19. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla also revoked the suspension of four Congress members after seeking assurance from the Opposition that they will not bring placards to the House.
The Rajya Sabha was once again marred by disruptions and Opposition sloganeering about the arrest of Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut by the Enforcement Directorate and other issues but managed to push through the passing of two bills — the Weapons of Mass Destruction and their Delivery Systems (Prohibition of Unlawful Activities) Amendment Bill, 2022 and the Indian Antarctic Bill, 2022.
