Lok Sabha passes two bills amid Opposition protests

The Lok Sabha on Monday approved two bills in the midst of Opposition protests over the Pegasus snooping controversy and farm laws, as the government got down to business after a near-complete wash-out of the first week of Parliament’s Monsoon Session.

The House was adjourned for the day after the two bills — the Factoring Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2020, and the National Institutes of Food Technology, Entrepreneurship and Management Bill, 2021 — were passed by voice vote.

No discussion on the two bills could take place as Opposition members continued to stage protests demanding a discussion on the Pegasus snooping allegations and the farmers’ demand for repealing the three agriculture laws passed last August.
