Parliament's Monsoon session, adjourned sine die on August 13, has gone 88 days without being formally prorogued.
That passes the 87 days of 2008 cited by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju.
Keeping the session open lets Parliament be recalled on two days' notice, instead of the 14 needed for a new session.
