The first week of India’s Winter Session of Parliament was largely unproductive, with the Lok Sabha functioning for just 54 minutes and the Rajya Sabha for 75 minutes. Protests by opposition parties dominated proceedings, focusing on allegations of bribery involving the Adani Group and the ongoing violence in Manipur.
On Monday, the Lok Sabha ran for only six minutes before being adjourned due to ruckus, while similar disruptions plagued the rest of the week. Despite the chaos, the government outlined its legislative agenda, including the Waqf Act Amendment Bill, aiming to prioritize key issues amidst mounting tensions.
The week highlighted the growing divide between the government and opposition, with calls for accountability overshadowing legislative progress.
