Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned sine die on Thursday after a nearly three-month-long budget session.
Even though it was originally scheduled to end on May 22 the session was adjourned as apparently the government did not have any business.
The Left parties had expressed their strong reservation on adjourning the session before schedule as several important legislation including the bill for the welfare of the unorganised sector, could not be placed before Parliament.
They had also demanded a statement from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Parliament on the Indo-US nuclear deal.
Before adjourning the House, Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee, expressing concern over passage of legislative and financial business without discussion, said there was no alternative to a structured debate.
For effective functioning of parliamentary democracy, active participation of all sections of the House was of prime importance, he said.
“However, in spite of my earnest requests, some of the very important legislative and financial business before the House had to be completed without discussion,” Mr Chatterjee said.
The Speaker said the Lok Sabha lost over 73 hours due to interruption. Around 43 per cent of scheduled hours were lost in the Upper House.
