Parliament logjam: Productivity goes for a toss, Lok Sabha passes 5 bills in just 44 minutes

Frequent disruptions and adjournments during the Monsoon Session have taken a toll on Parliament's productivity. Lok Sabha's productivity has fallen to 14 per cent, while the Raj Sabha fares slightly better at 22 per cent.

The ongoing tussle between the Narendra Modi government and the Opposition over the Pegasus spyware snooping controversy has taken a big hit on Parliament's productivity. The first two weeks of the ongoing Monsoon Session saw very little business as opposition parties demanded discussion on the snooping controversy, resulting in frequent disruptions and adjournments.
