A weekly roundup of the proceedings in India’s parliament.
Last week, for multiple reasons, MPs disrupted both houses of the parliament, but there were still moments worth talking about. For one, the government reacted to the Pegasus snooping scandal with deflection and obfuscation, causing an uproar. Then its response to how there was "no available data of deaths due to oxygen shortage" during the second wave of the pandemic prompted another streak of disruption.
A few bills were listed for consideration and passing through the week. One involves lighthouses. Yes, for real. What happened to them?
Watch.
