Why did Lok Sabha adjourn sine die before schedule
Lok Sabha adjourns sine die a day before schedule
The Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian Parliament, adjourned sine die a day before the scheduled end of its session due to several reasons:
- COVID-19 pandemic: The ongoing pandemic has disrupted regular parliamentary proceedings worldwide. The decision to adjourn early was made to minimize the risk of the virus spreading among members of parliament and staff.
- Limited working days: There were limited working days available in the session due to other commitments and events like festivals, which reduced the available time for discussion and passing of bills.
- Lack of consensus: In some cases, lack of consensus among political parties on key issues led to the inability to proceed with the planned legislative business, prompting the early adjournment.
- Pending legislation: The Lok Sabha had already passed several important bills, and with the remaining bills requiring further discussion and scrutiny, it was decided to adjourn sine die to allow for a more comprehensive and diligent review.
- Emerging situations: Unpredictable situations, like public unrest or emergencies, may arise, necessitating an early adjournment to address urgent issues outside of parliament.
