CCPA recommends prorogation of both Houses of Parliament

Soon after the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha were adjourned sine die, the Cabinet Committee of Parliamentary Affairs recommended prorogation of both Houses of Parliament.
Minutes after the Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die, the CCPA, chaired by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, met briefly to recommend prorogation of the Winter session which was marred by disruptions over the demonetisation issue.
With the CCPA recommending to the President prorogation of both the Houses, the speculation that at least one House may not be prorogued and Parliament may be reconvened for a brief special session to clear bills on the ambitious GST legislation has ended.

Highly-placed sources in the government said, "Parliament will now reconvene for the Budget session" either on January 30 or February one.
When asked during his customary after-the-session press conference whether government plans a special session for GST bills, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said the proposals were pending before the GST Council.
"It will meet on December 22 and 23. Let it decide. Once it gives its mandate, it is our duty to give it a legislative shape," he said.
When pressed further on what will the government do once the council clears the bills, he said, "We will cross the bridge when we come to it."

The session, which began on November 16, saw almost daily disruptions over the note ban issue. The debate on the matter began in both Houses but remained inconclusive.
