Congress flags unusual delay in ending Parliament's Monsoon Session
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh highlighted the atypical lag between the Monsoon Session's adjournment on August 13 and its formal prorogation, which remains pending.
During a recent parliamentary debate, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh questioned the abnormal gap between the Monsoon Session's adjournment on August 13 and its formal prorogation, which has not yet been announced. He pointed out that historically the interval is only two to four days, making the current delay noteworthy. No prorogation notice had been released by Sunday morning, leaving the session officially open.
The postponement occurs while Prime Minister Amit Shah continues to seek a two-thirds majority to pass a constitutional amendment tied to delimitation in a special session. Ramesh's remarks underscore growing scrutiny of the government's handling of parliamentary procedures. The issue adds pressure on the ruling party as it pursues the amendment.
Why it matters
The delay raises questions about parliamentary timing and could affect the passage of a key constitutional amendment.
