The politics of the country has once again become heated due to the end of the Parliament session and its official prorogation. The main opposition party Congress has raised serious questions on the functioning of the Central Government and especially Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Congress says that the non-prorogation of the session even after the end of the session is part of a well-thought-out strategy.
Sharp questions from Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh
Senior leader and general secretary of Congress Jairam Ramesh Has cornered the Central Government by sharing posts on social media platforms. He said that usually there is a gap of a few days between the sine die adjournment of Lok Sabha proceedings and its formal prorogation, but this time the delay is quite unusual.
Jairam Ramesh M.N. Kaul and S. l. Shakdhar’s famous book ‘Practice and Procedure of Parliament’ Citing the rules of the Constitution, he asked whether the Union Home Minister is still looking for the ‘tainted’ two-thirds majority to pass the Constitution Amendment Bill related to delimitation in a special session of Parliament?
What are the complete political developments and rules?
According to parliamentary rules, under Article 85(2), the President orders the prorogation of the House on the advice of the Prime Minister. Congress alleges that the government has in the past been uncomfortable in gathering sufficient strength for amendment bills related to delimitation and women’s reservation. Opposition parties claim that due to their strategic objections the government has faced difficulties in achieving the desired two-thirds majority, following which there is speculation in political circles.
