Congress raised the issue in Parliament, stating the Lok Sabha has not been prorogued and asking Amit Shah whether he is still pursuing a two‑thirds majority for the delimitation bill.
Congress representatives told the Lok Sabha that the house has not been prorogued and demanded clarification on whether Home Minister Amit Shah is still aiming for a two‑thirds majority to pass the delimitation bill. The bill, which proposes to redraw parliamentary constituencies based on the latest census, requires a two‑thirds vote in the lower house for approval. Party leaders said that seeking such a super‑majority without broad consensus could spark political friction. They also reminded that any decision to prorogue the Lok Sabha would need parliamentary endorsement, which has not been granted. As of now, the government has not issued a response to the Congress query.
