Kharge warns Modi as delimitation proposals loom
New Delhi: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has warned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the unprecedented delay in closing the Monsoon Session of Parliament, urging him to convene an all-party meeting to discuss any new delimitation proposals. In a letter to Modi, Kharge expressed concern over the session being adjourned sine die on August 13, with both Houses of Parliament yet to be prorogued 64 days later.
Kharge reminded Modi that he had first requested an all-party meeting on April 11 to discuss a Constitutional Amendment Bill on delimitation, which ultimately failed following a lack of support in the Lok Sabha. Kharge has now made the request four times, urging Modi to hold a meeting before finalizing any new proposals. All political parties must have ample time to deliberate, Kharge emphasized, and he cautioned against another attempt to push a far-reaching amendment through Parliament, which was previously thwarted.
