The parliament winter session that started on November 29 this year is scheduled to end today, a day ahead of the scheduled day of December 23.

On Tuesday, the Rajya Sabha had passed a few bills including a bill to link Aadhaar with voter ID, a day after the reform was approved in the Lok Sabha.

However, the Lower House seemed stressful when compared to the other side. The discussion regarding the bill that aims to change the current legal age of marriage from 18 to 21 years was stretched longer than the other. The bill was introduced on Monday and was sent to the parliamentary committee for scrutiny.

The Rajya Sabha chairman has expressed his displeasure with the way the session ended and how certain discussions were held. “I’m not happy to share with you that the House functioned much below its potential. I urged all of you to collectively and individually reflect,” he said.
