Lok Sabha adjourned sine die

Lok Sabha adjourned sine die
New Delhi: The Monsoon Session of Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die on Friday night after a month-long sitting that saw Parliament pass the landmark Food Security and Land Acquisition Bills.

A highlight of the session was also the passage of a key economic reform legislation, Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill, which was hanging fire for nearly a decade due to political differences.

The first two weeks of the Session were marred by frequent disruptions over several issues, including the decision on a separate Telangana state, alleged land deals by Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, Chinese incursions, killing of five Indian soldiers on along the Line of Control and the hike in fuel prices.

The Session also saw the suspension of 12 members from Andhra Pradesh for resorting to "grave disorder".

After a 30-minute-long discussion on a question relating to the Agriculture Ministry, Speaker Meira Kumar adjourned the House sine die.
