  "account": "The Congress party has raised concerns over the prolonged delay in proroguing the Monsoon session of Parliament, questioning whether Union Home Minister Amit Shah is still pursuing a two-thirds majority for the delimitation-linked Constitutional Amendment Bill during a special session. The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned sine die on August 13, 2026. Generally, there is a two to four day gap between adjournment and prorogation of the House, although there have been instances where both occurred on the same day. However, ten days have passed since the Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die, yet there is no information on its prorogation. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh pointed out this delay and asked the pertinent questions regarding the process and the motives behind it.",
