Parliament Remains Adjourned Sine Die for Record 88 Days Without Prorogation

Today is 88 days since Parliament was adjourned sine die and has still been NOT prorogued. The 8th edition of the Authoritative Practice and Procedure of Parliament popularly known as Kaul and Shakdher was published in mid 2024 with a message from the PM himself. Page 192 says that the time-gap between the adjournment of the Lok Sabha sine die and its prorogation is generally two-four days. But in footnote #53 on the same page it states that the maximum gap has been 28 days and that to the monsoon session in 2015. However, the Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs wrote to the Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge on Oct 19, 2026 saying that the monsoon session in 2008 had been kept unprorogued for a record 87 days. Why that fails to find mention in Kaul and Shakdher is puzzling. And that 87 days by all parties of the past because the prorogation of the Lok Sabha sine die and its prorogation has been so unrecorded, including the then minister of the Union in 2008.
