Congress questions 25-day delay in proroguing Parliament's Monsoon Session

Parliament's Monsoon Session, which was adjourned sine die on August 13 after nineteen sittings, has not been formally prorogued even 25 days later. Congress has raised questions over the unusual delay, demanding an explanation from the government. The opposition party alleges the government may be waiting to secure sufficient numbers to push through Delimitation Bills. This comes in the backdrop of a previous legislative setback in the Lok Sabha over a similar bill. No official explanation has been provided by the government regarding the prolonged gap between adjournment and prorogation.
