Five months on, the Modi government is yet to call Parliament into session even as several legislatures across the world and some within the country have met during the pandemic; taking necessary precautions, using technology where possible and amending procedural laws to facilitate legislative oversight over governance.
Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned sine die on March 23 in view of the rising number of Covid-19 cases and have not met since then. Since the law mandates that the gap between two sessions cannot be longer than six months, the Centre is expected to announce a date for the next session soon.
