Lok Sabha Speaker Explains Parliamentary Session Procedures and Upcoming BRICS Forum
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla clarified that the government initiates the prorogation of Parliament sessions, citing Article 85 of the Constitution. He noted that the Monsoon Session has not yet been prorogued as the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs has not submitted recommendations to the President. Birla also addressed procedures for calling Special Sessions, the status of motions against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, and the handling of rebel Trinamool Congress MPs joining a new party. The 12th BRICS Parliamentary Forum will be held in Delhi in October.
