Productivity of non-session were less than 45% for Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha 2. In 2021 non-session, 18 bills were passed with average 14 min discussion.

Declining trend of bills recommended to select committee (eg: recent demand to defer Forest Conservation Amendment Bill to committee for review even ignored). As per PRS, in 14th lok saha only 25 bills were referred 4. In recent book on 'Popular House', author agrees that parliament disruption has become enshrined used by all parties for political purpose 5. Sh schedule present MPs to raise their independent view point Not able to check executive: 1. Bills are passed in haste 2. No serious budget discussion 3. Executive is not being made answerable if question hour is disrupted 4. Prevent lack of discussion on national issues due to politicization (Eg: monopoly case)
