Parliament session not prorogued 10 days after adjournment; delimitation bill speculation grows
Parliament's Monsoon Session remains formally open 10 days after both Houses were adjourned sine die, fueling speculation that the government may be considering a special sitting to pass a delimitation-linked Constitution amendment bill.
Ten days after both Houses of Parliament were adjourned sine die on August 13, the Monsoon Session has still not been formally prorogued, according to official notifications. As of Sunday morning, no prorogation notification had been issued, despite sessions usually being prorogued within a few days. For comparison, the Budget Session ended on April 18 and was prorogued on April 20.
Under the Constitution, Parliament is convened and prorogued by the President on the recommendation of the government. The delay has led to strong speculation that the government could be weighing a special sitting to pass a key Constitution amendment bill linked to the implementation of the Women's Reservation law, possibly related to delimitation. No official confirmation has been provided.
