When Parliament is not in session, the government cannot pass any laws. It has to wait till all the members of Parliament descend on Delhi to discuss, debate and decide on particular legislations, and vote to enact them. But what if problematic situations arise when Parliament is not in session and the only way to resolve them is by passing a law? The Jallikattu protests in Tamil Nadu, for example, do qualify as an urgent, problematic situation. The only way to resolve this and curb the protests would be to pass a law that allows the festival to resume in all its glory.
