Lok Sabha Suspended for 46 Days, Longest Break Since 1989

The 18th Lok Sabha's eighth session has been suspended for 46 days, marking the third longest suspension in parliamentary history. Previous long breaks occurred in 1987 (76 days) and 1989 (61 days) during the eighth Lok Sabha. The current monsoon session began on July 20 and was suspended indefinitely on August 13 without formal prorogation. This is the longest suspension under the Modi government since 2014, surpassing previous breaks of 28 days in 2015 and about 20 days in 2021. Suspension means the house is adjourned without a set date, while prorogation formally ends the session by presidential order.
