“Let's debate and not disrupt” PM's message to the reporters before the crucial winter session

  NEW DELHI: On Monday the Prime Minister Narendra Modi had addressed the reporters before the crucial winter session of the Parliament that begins on the 11th of December, and ends on the 8th of January during which there will be 20 sittings. Even as the counting of votes is still underway in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Mizoram.

The Prime Minister said that he hoped it would be a productive session in the House. The message of the PM was let's debate, and not disrupt. "Hope the members will invest themselves in the people's welfare, and not themselves," he said.
 
There are currently 66 pending bills in the Parliament out of  which 23 are listed for consideration and passage and two regarding the withdrawal during the session. 20 new bills are being listed for the introduction, consideration, and passage. Three ordinances which are in operation (on triple talaq, to appoint a new body in place of Medical Council of India and an amendment in the Companies Act) will have to be passed in the Parliament otherwise they will lapse.

The current Lok Sabha has experienced some of the worst sessions in the past 10 years, with the winter session of 2016 being nearly washed out because of demonetisation. 

On the optimistic side, the monsoon session (that ended in August) had been one of the most productive ones. With the  elections approaching next year and this one being the last full session of this Lok Sabha, the possibilities of politics taking over are high.
