Delayed monsoon
By June itself the monsoon has covered almost the entire country. But Parliament’s monsoon session, which is traditionally convened in mid-July, has been postponed to August 11 this year. The reason for the delay is not the weather, the Government in crisis or the SAARC conference in Sri Lanka. It is because the Commonwealth Parliament Association session, where a new chairperson will be elected, is to be held in Kuala Lumpur in the first week of August. Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee, who helped get West Bengal Speaker Hashim Haleem elected chairperson of the association three years back, hopes that India will once again play an influential role in the election.
