Most part of the session was dominated by the protests held by Opposition parties inside and outside Parliament on alleged ‘vote theft’ and alleged poll rigging by the Election Commission. While the Opposition stuck to their demand for a debate on SIR, the government refuted their demand citing that the exercise is part of the the poll panel’s administrative action and functioning.The protests also led to high drama in the streets after several top Opposition leaders, including LoP Rahul Gandhi, were detained by the Delhi Police after they took out a march to the EC headquarters in the capital. Another key takeaway is how SIR brought together the Opposition parties in the session to fight against the government unitedly. From the Congress, TMC, AAP and the CPM, more than 25 parties came together to corner the Modi government on SIR and other issues in the session.The session also saw unprecedented events such as the sudden resignation of Dhankhar, citing health reasons. Though there is no official word on the reason behind the resignation, sources say that it is linked to Dhankar’s acceptance of a notice sponsored by the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha to impeach Justice Varma, who is embroiled in alleged corruption charges.Another takeaway is a three-member committee set up by Birla to probe charges against Justice Varma. Thus, the Speaker has set the ball rolling for the impeachment of the Allahabad High Court judge after admitting a multi-party notice for his removal.The session has also set the stage for a high-stakes election for the vice-presidential elections, in which the NDA and the Opposition fielded candidates from the South. While the NDA picked Maharashtra Governor C P Radhakrishnan as its nominee, the Opposition has fielded former SC judge B Sudershan Reddy who hails from Andhra Pradesh.Bills passed by both Houses of ParliamentThe Bills of Lading Bill, 2025The Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025The Coastal Shipping Bill, 2025The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025The Manipur Appropriation (No.2) Bill, 2025The Merchant Shipping Bill, 2025The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2025The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025The National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025The Income-Tax Bill, 2025The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025The Indian Ports Bill, 2025The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025The Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2025The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025
