LG VK Saxena points out procedural lapses by Delhi government in convening one-day assembly session

NEW DELHI: In a statement released by the Delhi LG's office, lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena cited serious procedural errors made by the Delhi government when calling the assembly's one-day session on Monday.
The statement issued by LGO said, "The Speaker of the Delhi Legislative Assembly has proposed to call the 2nd part of the 4th session of the Assembly, whereas the Delhi Cabinet has recommended convening the One-day session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly. As per Rules and Act, the House adjourned sine die on March 29 this year has to be first prorogued before a new session can be convened."
"Even as a session remains unprorogued, a new session cannot be convened," the statement further said.
"Delhi Cabinet and Delhi Legislative Assembly are not working in tandem as per the extant law, which has been brought to the notice of the Chief Minister by the LG", reads the statement.
The Delhi Cabinet has suggested a one-day special session without indicating any particular legislative agenda, according to the statement.
The statement added that the Cabinet's recommendation for convening the one-day session had been made without following the due procedure.
