2025 Monsoon Session of Parliament: Lok Sabha passed 12 bills, Rajya Sabha 14 in amid Opposition protests
Twelve bills were passed by the Lok Sabha and 14 by the Rajya Sabha during the month-long monsoon session of Parliament, which has witnessed repeated disruptions, adjournments and walkouts. Barring discussions on Operation Sindoor in both Houses, the session has seen little business ever since it began on July 21, 2025 due to repeated disruptions and adjournments initially due to opposition demand for discussion on Operation Sindoor and then over demands for a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision exercise in Bihar. The session concluded on Thursday (August 21, 2025). Bills passed by the Lok Sabha: Bills passed or returned by the Rajya Sabha: 'This time in Parliament, there was so much ruckus and opposition didn't cooperate. Due to this obstinate behaviour, opposition missed participating in discussions on several important bills which were passed,' a government functionary said. In the Rajya Sabha, except for The Bills of Lading Bill, 2025, which was passed without any disruption on the first day of the monsoon session, the other bills were passed after some discussion amid din or only after the Opposition parties staged a walk out, the functionary said.
