Only 2 short-duration discussions had been taken up this session instead of taking up at least 1 a week

Seventeen political parties, which together have 103 members in the Rajya Sabha, submitted a letter to Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu on Friday, seeking his intervention to ensure the parliamentary scrutiny of bills and adherence to rules that have been put in place to allow proper deliberation.

“We urge you to ensure that the voice of the Opposition is not smothered in the Rajya Sabha. While we understand our responsibility and the need to enact legislation, any attempt by the government to undermine the privileges of members, the rules and established conventions will diminish the Council of States as envisaged by our founding fathers,” the letter said.

The signatories to the letter included the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, which officially remains unattached but has helped the government get bills passed.

Not a single bill has been referred to a parliamentary committee this session, which is being flagged by the government as one of the most productive in a long time.

Apart from political differences, there is considerable concern within the Opposition that members are not being given enough time to study the bills and ensure these do not have infirmities that can adversely affect the people.
