In the eight days since the Monsoon Session began, six bills have been passed in the Lok Sabha and five in the Rajya Sabha.
Detailed discussions took place only on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 and the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026, where the government and Opposition reached broad consensus.
Most other bills were passed within minutes by voice vote after Opposition amendments were rejected.
Amid Opposition protests, about 47 minutes of discussion took place before the minister's reply and the bill's passage were completed in two minutes.
Following an Opposition walkout, the bill was returned to the Lok Sabha at around 4.30 pm.
