Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE Updates: Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned sine die on Friday, 11 August, thus bringing an end to the Monsoon Session.

Home Minister Amit Shah introduced three bills in the Lok Sabha to replace Indian Penal Code, CrPC and the Indian Evidence Act.

  • The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023

  • The Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, 2023

  • The Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, 2023

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Lok Sabha session as well.

In the Rajya Sabha, Aam Aadmi Party MP Raghav Chadha was suspended pending investigation in a controversy over fraudulently submitting names of six MPs to be a part of a select committee during discussion on the NCT Bill.

Earlier on Friday, the Congress objected to the suspension of Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury from the Lok Sabha on 'flimsy grounds', a day after the Leader of the House in Lok Sabha faced the government's ire for several personal remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the discussion on the No-Confidence Motion.

Chowdhury was suspended after the government moved a resolution against him for alleged misconduct.

Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge had earlier raised the issue of Chowdhury's suspension while addressing Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.

  • The ongoing session of Parliament is scheduled to end on Friday after an unsuccessful No-Confidence Motion against the Narendra Modi government on Thursday.

  • The Opposition had staged a walkout from the Lok Sabha on Thursday even while PM Modi was speaking in the House – his first speech in Parliament during the ongoing session.

  • The Central Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2023 was passed in the Lok Sabha.

  • The No-Confidence Motion was defeated in the Lower House via voice vote on Thursday.
