    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, before the tyranny of work, I was saying that this is a Procedural Motion, kind of, because of the reasons given. I am very happy you have clarified that this is not what it appears to be. In fact, I want to urge my colleagues from the other side that this is not a Government Motion, so they do not need to frustrate it. It is in our best interest that this Motion is passed, so that we can get extra time to pass this Bill. You have also said, at the risk of anticipating debate, that failure will mean that our anticipated recess might be cut short. Some of the Members are saying that they want to go to an election yet some of them have not even learnt the Standing Orders. They want to go back before even learning the Standing Orders of this House. I can hear hon. Arati shouting yet we are barely six months in this House. This is a Procedural Motion that gives us time to look at the Bill. We also deserve the recess, which is coming, because we need to start working with our constituents. Otherwise, they will say that since we were elected, we have not done anything. It is in our best interest all of us from both sides of the House, that this Motion is passed. About the quorum, I want to ask the Leader of Minority or the Whip on the other side to call his troupes, so that we can raise the quorum to pass this constitutional Motion. With those few remarks, I hope my colleagues, this time round, will not give the tyranny of work. I support the Motion."
