The Monsoon Session of Parliament has not been formally closed for 88 days since both Houses were adjourned indefinitely on August 13, PTI reported on Monday.
The previous longest gap was 87 days in 2008.
President Droupadi Murmu has not yet prorogued or formally ended the session. This means that the government can still convene an extended or special sitting within the existing session with a minimum notice of two days. Convening a fresh session of Parliament requires a notice of at least 14 days.
By this time last year, the government had announced the dates for the Winter Session.
The Congress had earlier alleged that the Monsoon Session has not been prorogued because the government is trying to find a majority for the delimitation bill. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh reiterated the allegation on Monday.
Today is 88 days since Parliament was adjourned sine die and has still NOT been prorogued.
