章 246: Bill Passed

The next morning, the Parliament Hall was quieter than the day before.

The debate on the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act had carried over into a second day, with most of the major concerns already discussed.

As members trickled into the chamber, it was clear that the mood had shifted.

The arguments of the previous day had laid a foundation for consensus.

Prime Minister Rohan entered the chamber alongside Education Minister Mira Chaudhary, exchanging brief greetings with members from both sides of the aisle.

The Speaker, Ram Prakash, struck his gavel to bring the house to order.

"The debate on the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act continues," the Speaker announced. "Honorable Members, you may now share your concluding remarks before we move forward."
