West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar discontinue assembly session

West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar discontinued the West Bengal assembly from Monday (February 15) and stated that in the country's parliamentary history, an assembly has never been in session for over a year without being prorogued.
 

Prorogation is discontinuing a session of the Parliament or a legislative assembly without dissolving it.
 

In a Twitter post, Jagdeep Dhankhar said he discontinued the assembly from February 15, taking note of recommendation by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Jagdeep Dhankar wrote on Twitter, “Never earlier in parliamentary history of this country an assembly has been in session for over a year without being prorogued.”
 

“In the process wholesome practices including Governor address in first session @MamataOfficial could not take place thereby depriving vital discussion,” he said in another tweet.
 

A two-day special session of the West Bengal Assembly was held from January 27 where the Governor was not invited to address the session.
