Parliament Monsoon Session 2022: 32 bills pending amid ruckus by Opposition, Know which ones

The Centre had scheduled 32 Bills for passing in Parliament during the Monsoon Session, but after two weeks, there is little sign of completing government business due to the standoff with the Opposition over GST hiked rates and inflation.

So far during the Monsoon Session, the Lok Sabha has worked approximately 16 hours and the Rajya Sabha has worked approximately 11 hours; however, the Houses were scheduled to work for six hours daily. 

During the standoff, four Lok Sabha members and 23 Rajya Sabha members were suspended, and the government was pitted against the Opposition on the remark against the President issue in the last two days of the week.

The government has indicated that it is open to debate. Piyush Goyal, the Rajya Sabha's Leader, had asserted, "We are prepared for discussion, but opposition members are repeatedly disrupting House proceedings. We have clarified that we are hopeful that the price increase will be discussed as soon as the Finance Minister gets well."

The opposition, on the other hand, is slamming the government, claiming that it is unwilling to hold discussions and is attempting to corner the opposition.

Now, government sources say they are ready to discuss the price rise issue, but the Opposition does not want to listen , and the Houses are unlikely to function smoothly. The Congress has called for a nationwide protest against the price hike on August 5.
