Parliamentary Disruptions Hamper MP Opportunities
Parliament's work has been disrupted, preventing important discussions.
This means lawmakers can't ask questions or bring up urgent issues during Question Hour and Zero Hour.
Very few of the planned questions and topics have been discussed.
The Speaker and Deputy Chairman have asked everyone to let these important parts of Parliament proceed.
Parliamentary disruptions have significantly reduced the time for Question Hour and Zero Hour.
Only 5 out of 210 Zero Hour submissions were addressed in the Rajya Sabha.
Just 14 of 210 starred questions were taken up during Question Hour.
MPs from both ruling and opposition parties expressed concerns about missed opportunities.
The Speaker and Deputy Chairman appealed for the restoration of Question and Zero Hour.
