Referring to disruptions during the session, Naidu said it was time for members to reflect and introspect their conduct in the House. The proceedings could have been much better, he said.
Before adjourning the House sine die, Naidu wished everybody for the coming festivals of Christmas, New Year and Makar Sankranti.
The stormy session began with suspension of 12 Opposition members in the Rajya Sabha for the whole session. Yesterday, Trinamul Congress leader Derek O’Brien was suspended for the remainder of the session, which ended today.
