The Rajya Sabha was adjourned sine die today, bringing to an end the Budget session that was marked by continuous disruptions that saw 120 working hours being wasted.
Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu expressed anguish and pain over disruptions and also display of placards, flags and slogan shouting by various political parties.
Naidu said 120 hours were wasted due to disruptions during the Budget session, which started on January 29.
Proceedings of the second part of the Budget session in the House, after it reassembled on March 5, were practically washed out due to disruptions, except for passage of a bill related to payment of gratuity and farewell to retiring members.
Before adjourning the House sine die, Naidu said it was beyond his comprehension why the House did not debate important issues despite the Chair's approval for debates and asked members to introspect.
