NEW DELHI: Amid protest and boycott of proceedings by the Opposition over farm Bill, Rajya Sabha on Tuesday cleared seven key Bills in three and half hours while Lok Sabha passed three labour codes. Meanwhile, government sources said that Monsoon Session of Parliament will conclude on Wednesday, eight days before it was scheduled to end. Rajya Sabha is likely to adjourn sine die after taking up five Bills on Wednesday, the sources said on Tuesday. Lok Sabha on Wednesday is likely to be adjourned sine die around 6 pm after taking up an extended Zero Hour, they said
Earlier on Tuesday, the members of opposition parties led by Congress continued their protest over the government’s refusal to accept its demand for withdrawal of farm Bills. In Rajya Sabha, with the Opposition deciding to boycott the remaining session of the House, the eight suspended MPs ended their overnight sit-in inside the Parliament House complex and said they would take their fight against the farm Bills to the street.
The government said that it will consider revoking the suspension of eight Rajya Sabha members only after they apologise for their behaviour in the Upper House.
The Opposition parties, including Congress, TMC, TRC and BSP, boycotted the Lok Sabha session over farm Bills and also in solidarity with the eight Rajya Sabha members who were suspended for “misbehaving” with the Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman during farm Bills debate on Sunday.
