Monsoon Session: Repeated mob lynchings have crippled nation with fear: Mallikarjun Kharge in Lok Sabha

Monsoon Session of Parliament resumed on Monday after a break for the weekend. The Houses are due to consider key bills including Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-third Amendment) Bill, 2017, The National Commission for Backward Classes (Repeal) Bill, 2017, The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (Amendment) Bill, 2017.

Proposed last week, Banking Regulations (Amendment) Bill 2017 is all due for discussion on the Lok Sabha floor on Monday. Congress has issued whip for Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-third Amendment) Bill, 2017. 

The Monsoon Session so far has been a mixed bag of disruptions and productive sessions. While the Houses have been able to pass some crucial bills, the Opposition leaders have continued to gherao government on the issue of farmer's loans, Biharpoliticall turmoil and other issues. 

Monday session is likely to be overshadowed by Opposition's protest against alleged horse trading by BJP president Amit Shah in Gujarat ahead of Rajya Sabha elections due on August 8.
