Parliament’s 18-day monsoon session began from Monday in the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic. The session takes place amidst many novelties, including the session of the two Houses in shifts with no days off, entry only for those who have a negative report of Covid-19, and the mandatory use of masks during the session. On Tuesday, Rajya Sabha will meet in the morning shift from 9 am to 1 pm and Lok Sabha in the afternoon shift from 3 pm to 7 pm.
At least 29 members of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha tested positive for Covid-19 in the run-up to the first session of Parliament in nearly six months, according to officials familiar with the matter.
On its first day of the monsoon session, the Rajya Sabha government introduced up to five bills, including reducing the remuneration of ministers and protecting health professionals in the event of an epidemic.

Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan moves suspension notice in Rajya Sabha
Social media is hitting people in the entertainment industry. People who made a name for themselves in the industry have called it a gutter. I completely disagree. I hope the government tells those people not to use this kind of language. The fact that there are a few people cannot tarnish the image of the entire industry. I am ashamed that yesterday one of our Lok Sabha members, who is from the film industry, spoke against it. It’s a shame: MP Jaya Bachchan on Rajya Sabha
