The Parliament is set to witness yet another day of less business and more disruptions as the Opposition plans to step up the attack on the government over the suspension of the 12 Rajya Sabha MPs.

Meanwhile, the government is set to table the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Amendment) Bill, 2021 in the Rajya Sabha for consideration and passage today. The bill was promulgated in the Lok Sabha on Monday.
