Rajya Sabha Chairman C P Radhakrishnan concluded the Winter Session of Parliament with a firm message, expressing strong disapproval of the repeated disruptions caused by Members of Parliament. He termed such behaviour as 'unbecoming' of the elected representatives before adjourning the House sine die on Friday, 19 December 2025.
Session Concludes with Chairman's Stern Remarks
As the curtain fell on the 15-day parliamentary sitting, Chairman Radhakrishnan took a moment to address the conduct witnessed during the session. He underscored that frequent interruptions and disturbances hinder the core democratic function of the Upper House, which is to debate and legislate for the nation's welfare. His remarks highlighted a growing concern over the functioning of Parliament and the quality of its deliberations.
A Synopsis of Legislative Business
Prior to his critical observations, the Chairman read out a detailed synopsis of the work accomplished during the Winter Session. This summary outlined the various legislative bills and other official matters that were successfully transacted over the fortnight. Despite the noted disruptions, the House managed to process a slate of government business, though the Chairman's statement implicitly pointed to what could have been achieved with smoother proceedings.
Looking Ahead: Implications for Parliamentary Decorum
The Chairman's pointed comments are likely to reignite the ongoing debate about parliamentary decorum and productivity. By publicly labelling the disruptions as improper, he has set a clear expectation for more disciplined conduct in future sessions. The conclusion of the session sine die—meaning without a fixed date for reconvening—marks the end of this chapter, but the call for introspection among political parties and their MPs remains loud and clear. The focus now shifts to whether this admonition will translate into a more orderly and productive environment when Parliament meets next.
