Both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned sine die on Wednesday, bringing the Winter Session to a close.

The Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were originally scheduled to function till Friday.

Earlier, Lok Sabha approved the Lokpal Bill by a voice vote which was passed by the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.

As soon as the Lok Sabha reassembled at noon after its first adjournment, the House took up the Bill amid slogan shouting by members from Andhra Pradesh against the bifurcation of the State.

Law and Justice Minister Kapil Sibal said that enough discussion had taken place in this house on the Bill in 2011 and also in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.

He urged the members to pass the bill as amended and passed by the Rajya Sabha.

Leader of Opposition, Sushma Swaraj said that the House has not functioned even for a single day during the current session which began on the 5th of this month.

She said, if the House could pass this Bill on Wednesday, it would be a memorable session.

Participating in the discussion, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi said, it is a historic moment today when the House is going to pass the Bill.

He said this Bill alone is not enough to fight corruption and the country needs a comprehensive anti-corruption code.

Gandhi said, six Bills to combat corruption are pending in the two Houses of Parliament.

Opposing the Bill, Mulayam Singh Yadav of Samajwadi Party said, it is very dangerous and no officer would like to take any decision, fearing action by Lokpal.

Sharad Yadav of Janata Dal (United) criticized the provision of the Bill which brings Prime Minister under its ambit.
