- A session of both Houses of Parliament will be held from September 18-22 without Question Hour or private members’ business.
- Generally, three parliamentary sessions are held in a year -- Budget, Monsoon and Winter sessions.
- The Constitution does not use the term “special session”.
- The term sometimes refers to sessions the government has convened for specific occasions, like commemorating parliamentary or national milestones.
- However, Article 352 (Proclamation of Emergency) of the Constitution does refer to a “special sitting of the House”.
- For the two Houses to be in session, the presiding officers should chair their proceedings.
