Rajya Sabha Chairman Slams MP Disruptions as Winter Session Ends

  • Rajya Sabha Chairman CP Radhakrishnan condemned Opposition disruptions during the Winter Session, calling their conduct "unbecoming of Members of Parliament."
  • Disruptions included shouting slogans, displaying placards, and tearing papers during the passage of the rural employment guarantee bill (G RAM G).
  • The new rural employment bill (G RAM G) passed, increasing guaranteed workdays from 100 to 125, replacing MNREGA.
  • Opposition protested the removal of "Mahatma Gandhi" from the new bill's name.
  • Despite disruptions, the session was "highly productive" with 121% productivity, passing 8 Bills and introducing 59 Private Members' Bills.

Why It Matters: Chairman Radhakrishnan criticized MP disruptions, but Rajya Sabha Winter Session was highly productive.
