Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh, in his valedictory remarks, called for “serious introspection” while informing the Upper House of the “disappointing” productivity.
“Overall, the House functioned for only 41 hours and 15 minutes. The productivity of this Session stood at a disappointing 38.88 per cent, something that calls for serious introspection. This not only resulted in the loss of precious parliamentary time but also deprived us of the opportunity to deliberate upon several matters of public importance,” he said.
