Latest news live updates: Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said Friday the government is ready to discuss in Parliament issues "directly related" to the people, adding it had already given a statement on the Pegasus controversy.

The government’s floor managers in Parliament have reached out to Opposition leaders to end the logjam arising out of protests over the Pegasus spyware controversy and the three farm laws, Hindustan Times reported on Friday.

The monsoon session, the first full sitting of Parliament in 18 months, has faced disruption from its first day over Pegasus, farm laws and spiraling fuel prices. Lok Sabha passed on Wednesday the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill by a voice vote, and Rajya Sabha passed the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Amendment Bill. 

According to an analysis done by PRS Legislative Research, the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have functioned only 23 per cent and 13 per cent of their alloted time this session. Only eight bills have been passed--without any debate. Follow our updates on Parliament and other news.
