As treasury benches now disrupt proceedings, has Parliament hit a new low? As the government and the opposition accuse each other in various scams, everyone is running from the demonetisation debate. 20 days of parliament have been washed out and with the last day devoted to private members bills, this means the winter session is done and dusted. Have taxpayers been the biggest losers as MPs refuse to let parliament work? A day of zero business in parliament means an approximate loss of 18 crores.
