These bills shall then be introduced in the forthcoming session of Parliament, they added.

The previous Monsoon Session of the Parliament had witnessed a lot of protest from the opposition over issues such as the demands of repealing contentious agrarian laws and initiating an inquiry into the Pegasus snooping claims, leading to frequent adjournments in both Houses.

The nation witnessed unprecedented pandemonium and unruly scenes when the bill on insurance business was taken up. Rajya Sabha was adjourned sine die, two days before the scheduled conclusion. Both Centre and Opposition had levelled serious accusations at each other over the ruckus witnessed.
