New Delhi, Aug 21 (PTI) The Rajya Sabha was adjourned sine die on Thursday, with Deputy Chairman Harivansh regretting that repeated disruptions deprived the House of meaningful discussion on various matters of public importance during the Monsoon Session.

Earlier, the House passed the The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, without debate amid din.

After the Rajya Sabha met in the morning, it was adjourned till 2 pm, following a protest by Opposition members over the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar.

When the House resumed at 2 pm, the protest continued.

Amid the din, the Upper House passed the gaming bill, and thereafter, it was adjourned sine die by the Deputy Chairman.

In his valedictory address, Harivansh lamented that the entire session was marred by repeated disruptions and members could not get an opportunity to raise meaningful issues despite the best efforts of the chair.

“This not only results in the loss of precious Parliamentary time but deprives us of the opportunity to deliberate on several matters of public importance,” he said.

The monsoon session commenced on July 21. It was repeatedly disrupted by Opposition members who demanded discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. PTI PRS CS PRS BAL BAL BAL
