Parliament proceedings yesterday were adjourned sine die, bringing an end to the Budget Session. In his closing remarks, Speaker Om Birla said that introspection was needed to identify the gaps in the functioning of the House. He emphasized the need to make these gaps visible and to seek solutions to overcome them, stating that Mopping Up Operations are required to clean up the mess.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present in the House for the final sitting, marking the end of the session. Birla's call for introspection resonated with Modi's statement in his concluding address, where he highlighted the need to increase the budget presentation time to ensure a thorough, constructive discussion of national importance.

The Budget Session, which began on February 23, saw the presentation of the Union Budget for the financial year 2023-24, as well as the Election Act and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Amendment Bill. However, the session was also marked by disruptions and adjournments due to protests and disruptions by opposition parties over various issues.

As the Speaker and Prime Minister urged reflection, the country awaits to see what the future holds for the nation and its people, and whether the gaps identified will bring about positive change and foster constructive debates in the functioning of the House.

The next Lok Sabha session is slated to begin in June, providing legislators a brief respite from parliamentary duties. Yet, with the introspection guidance, we hope to see more productive sessions soon that prioritize national development and inclusivity in parliamentary discourse.
