Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday introduced the two bills in the Lok Sabha, which was the last day of the monsoon session.

Both the bills were passed without discussion through voice vote by the Lower House, as the opposition was absent, since it had staged a walk out in protest against suspension of the leader of Congress in the House, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.

Before walking out, the Congress leaders were seen standing in the well of the House holding placards which read ‘Save Democracy’, and shouting slogans ‘Nirav Modi Come to the House’ and ‘Manipur mein Nirav Hai’ or ‘There is silence on Manipur’.

Before walking out, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi said that the opposition was doing so as the prestige and the honour of the House was being violated by suspending opposition members.
