The past year was one of late-night functioning of Parliament. In April, the Rajya Sabha stayed up until 4 am discussing the Waqf Amendment Bill and President’s Rule in Manipur. In December 2025, the Lok Sabha wrapped up the G-RAM-G Bill discussions at 1 am. The Rajya Sabha then passed this new employment guarantee law at 2 am the next day.
The recently concluded Winter Session also saw Trinamool Congress’s Rajya Sabha MPs hold an overnight protest in the Parliament complex. Prepared with warm clothing, sleeping bags and homemade food to face the Delhi winter, these MPs slept on the steps of the old Parliament building in protest against the government pushing the G-RAM-G Bill through the national legislature.
