Rajya Sabha, which was adjourned for the day on Thursday May 12,2016 as a mark of
respect towards sitting Congress member Praveen Rashtrapal who passed
away, will now have a sitting on Friday to complete its original
schedule.
A decision was taken on Wednesday May 11,2016 to curtail the session of Lok Sabha by two days and Rajya Sabha by one day.
Accordingly, the session in Lok Sabha was on Wednesday brought to an end, two days before its scheduled culmination.
According to the plan, the Rajya Sabha was also to be adjourned sine die on Thursday after the customary farewell speech as 58 Rajya Sabha MPs have retired from the House. A number of those retired have been renominated.
The Budget Session of Parliament had begun on February 23 and concluded on March 16. There was the scheduled recess between the first and second part.
However, the session was prorogued to allow promulgation of an Ordinance to bring and pass a Vote on Account for Uttarakhand, which was under President's rule.
An Ordinance cannot be promulgated when Parliament is in session. So, the House was prorogued and the second part of the Budget Session began as a new session on April 25. This session was to end on May 13 as per the schedule.
However, it was curtailed in view of the last leg of campaigning for Assembly elections in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, besides the fact that the government had already completed the important legislative business it planned to accomplish in this session.
