The 2026 monsoon session of the Lok Sabha, India’s lower house of parliament, has come to a close on 26.07.2026. The session, which began on 16.07.2026, witnessed significant debates on various issues, including the government’s economic policies and the ongoing farmers’ protests in several states. The opposition parties, led by the Congress, had been demanding a discussion on these issues, but the government had initially resisted, citing the ongoing monsoon session as a reason.
However, after intense pressure from the opposition and the media, the government finally agreed to hold a discussion on the farmers’ protests. The debate, which was held on 24.07.2026, saw heated exchanges between the ruling party and the opposition, with both sides accusing each other of not taking adequate steps to address the farmers’ concerns. The government, on the other hand, claimed that it had taken several steps to address the farmers’ grievances, including the announcement of a special package for the affected farmers.
Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha, India’s upper house of parliament, has begun its monsoon session on 27.07.2026. The session is expected to witness intense debates on various issues, including the government’s foreign policy and the ongoing economic slowdown in the country. The opposition parties, including the Congress and the Left parties, are expected to raise several questions on the government’s policies and their impact on the common people.
