NEW DELHI, Oct. 20 -- The Union government on Monday said there is no impropriety or irregularity in Parliament not being prorogued since the monsoon session ended in August as there is "no constitutional requirement" prescribing a specific period within which a House must be prorogued following its adjournment sine die. This comes in the wake of the Leader of Opposition and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge writing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi complaining that the House has not been prorogued even 64-days after being adjourned sine die on August 13. In the letter, dated October 16, Kharge also demanded an all-party meeting regarding the government's new delimitation proposals, and warned against rushing a Constitutional Amendment Bill (One Hundred and Thirty First Amendment Bill, 2026) without consultation. The government is pushing for the passage of the Bill along with the Delimitation Bill to roll out 33% reservation for women in Lok Sabha and state assemblies. Responding to Kharge's letter, union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju said, the mere fact that a House has not been prorogued during such an interval does not, by itself, give rise to any constitutional or procodural impropriety or irregularity. The minister cited similar instances in 1987 (76 days); 1989 (54 days); 2006 (49 days); 2013 (49 days) and 1963 (41 days) when the house was prorogued much after the adjournment....
