4th February, 2014

On the eve of the 15th Lok Sabha's last sitting (for the second part of the Winter Session) beginning 5th February, 2014, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Mr Kamal Nath, said this Lok Sabha might not have been very productive of new legislation, but there were certainly several historic laws enacted by it, e.g. the Lokpal Act, the Food Security Act and the Land Acquisition Act.
The Speaker, Mrs Meira Kumar, said Parliamentary democracy had succeeded in India, despite many odds. The 15th Lok Sabha did not pass as many laws as it should have, she said. "There are ups and downs. We have to pay tribute to the people of India for their faith in the Parliamentary system," she said.

Here is a sample of the Bills proposed by the Government for passage in the last sitting of the 15th Lok Sabha :

The Whistle Blowers Protection Bill, 2011, as passed by Lok Sabha

The Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill, 2010, as passed by Lok Sabha;

he Right of Citizens for Time Bound Delivery of Goods and Services and Redressal of

 Their Grievances Bill, 2011;

The Prevention of Bribery of Foreign Public Official and Officials of Public International Organisations Bill, 2011;

The Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill, 2013;

The Public Procurement Bill, 2012.

What happens in Parliament, will be known to all of us,
