The parliament proceedings have been hit over the last few weeks due to protests over the Pegasus snooping row, farm laws and other issues.

For the first time since the Monsoon Session began, the Lok Sabha on Tuesday witnessed a proper debate on a bill when the House took up the Constitution (127th Amendment) Bill, 2021, which seeks to restore states’ power to make their own OBC lists.
