    "content": " Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. This is a culmination of a state of mind in this House, which has already gone on recess. I do not need to prove to you that people are tired in this House. The visibility in the House is that even the seats are empty! A good number of people have already proceeded on recess on their own. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me just ask the House and plead with hon. Members that recess is factored in our calendar. It is part and parcel of the business of this House. There is nothing strange about recess. So, when we go on recess this week and come back more revitalized, we will be able to do much more. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is possible to calculate the number of days we have gone on recess and make it up, so that we can actually cover even the Votes that the hon. Members are talking about. This is standard for this House. It is the tradition of the House. There is precedence. It is just that most hon. Members are new. We just need to let them know that recess is part and parcel of the calendar of this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you do not really need to defend yourself too much if you are going on recess. I think we spend too much time trying to defend recess or even to defend the fact that, we are already working hard in this Parliament. We have done a lot, and I must commend my friends! There is a group that sits on the Front Bench on this side that is constantly working. They are here! But if you look behind them, you will realize that many people have gone! If they could look behind, they could realize that there are no people behind them!"
