General Knowledge - Indian Politics - Discussion

I am so confused. Anyone, clarify the right answer, please.

Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha was prorogued by the President of India Pranab Mukhrjee on 10 September 2013. Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Parliament) was adjourned sine die on 6 September 2013 and Rajya sabha (Upper House of the Parliament) was adjourned sine die on 7 September 2013.

Please give me more details.

Prorogation.

Prorogation means the termination of a session of the House by an order made by the President under article 85(2)(a) of the Constitution. Prorogation terminates both the sitting and session of the House. Usually, within a few days after the House is adjourned sine die by the presiding officer, the President issues a notification for the prorogation of the session. However, the President can also prorogue the House while in session.

Answer is B only, why because.

The speaker has the power to prorogue (postpone/adjournment) the lok sabha. B is the right answer. While the president has the power to discontinue a session in Parliament. So B is correct answer.

Answer should be "The speaker".

President has the power to prorogue a session when the two houses are not agree on a date for adjournment.

Speakers declare the house adjourned sine die when the business of a session is completed. Within next few days the President issue a notification for the prorogation of the session.

Option B is correct. I am sure in that.

The President has the power to summon and prorogue either House of Parliament or to dissolve Lok Sabha.
