New Delhi, April 5 -- The budget session of Parliament, which ended on Friday, turned out to be one of the most productive in the recent past, cleared landmark bills and transacted business till the early hours of the morning, but failed to take up any Opposition-sponsored debates.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla announced the Lower House recorded 118% productivity or utilisation of time. The Rajya Sabha's productivity stood at 119%.
Both Houses worked overtime, especially to debate the Waqf (amendment) bill and the imposition of President rule in Manipur, bringing back the rich tradition of marathon debates in Parliament. P10
