  "account": "On Wednesday, Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die after a prolonged deadlock between the Opposition and ruling members over various issues, including student protests. The session began with Speaker Om Birla asking members to stand up for paying tribute to Vande Mataram, the national song, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi present in the house. However, disruptions ensued due to Opposition demands for discussing police brutality against student protesters and other unresolved matters like the Ayodhya Ram Mandir donation row. Despite these disruptions, Parliament passed some bills, including renaming Kerala as Keralam and the NCDC Amendment Bill. In Rajya Sabha, proceedings were marred by a row over a shuddhikaran ceremony held at the Ramlila Ground in Haldwani, following a rally by Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge on August 8. BJP leader JP Nadda responded, stating the party doesn't endorse such acts and would investigate the incident.",
  "summary": "The announcement to this effect was made by Speaker Om Birla soon after members paid tribute to national song - Vande Mataram. This Monsoon Session, the Parliament cleared at least 19 Bills, seven of which were passed in 36 minutes without discussion.",
