Ensure no House disruption: Speaker

AHEAD of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Thursday claimed that the 18th Lok Sabha has seen a rise in productivity and more meaningful debate due to a noticeable reduction in disruptions. He stated that democracy thrives through "dialogue, patience and depth of discussion".

Speaking at a national conference of Chairpersons of Urban Local Bodies, organised by the Lok Sabha in collaboration with the Haryana Legislative Assembly, Birla remarked that frequent disruptions—which were once a recurring feature—have significantly reduced in Parliament, thereby enhancing productivity and the quality of debate.

He further noted that the Lok Sabha has increasingly conducted late-night sessions and held long-duration debates, reflecting a more mature and responsible democratic culture.
