Congress highlights delay in Lok Sabha prorogation, asks if Amit Shah still seeking 2/3rd majority for delimitation-linked Bill
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has questioned the government's delay in proroguing the Monsoon session of Parliament. He suggested the delay might be linked to potential plans to pass a controversial delimitation-related Constitutional Amendment Bill.
Why it matters
The delay in formal parliamentary procedures raises questions about legislative transparency and the government's potential strategy for future sessions.
Questioning the delay in proroguing the Monsoon session of Parliament, the Congress on Sunday (August 23, 2026) asked whether Union Home Minister Amit Shah was still in search of his "tainted" two-thirds majority to get the delimitation-linked Constitutional Amendment Bill passed in a special session.
The Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned sine die on August 13.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the time gap between the adjournment of the Lok Sabha sine die and its prorogation (formal end) is generally two to four days, although there are many instances when adjournment and prorogation have taken place on the very same day.
Ten days have gone by since this Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die but still there is no information on its prorogation, Ramesh pointed out.
