Parliament's Empty Chairs: The Absenteeism Epidemic in India's Lok Sabha A recent analysis by the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative reveals a disturbing trend in the functioning of India's Lok Sabha.
According to the study, only 46% of lawmakers attended over 90% of the budget session sittings, raising serious questions about their accountability and effectiveness.
The data shows that just 21% of the total 543 MPs were present for all 31 sittings, highlighting a significant disconnect between those elected to serve and their responsibilities.
