    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you for your communication. As per our Standing Order No. 29, it is clear that this kind of request can be made by either the Majority Leader or the Minority Leader. It is not written that they must both agree on that kind of request. I raise this because the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) fraternity is unhappy and we have received messages from the leadership that the Majority Leader did not consult the Minority Leader on the calling for this Special Sitting. However, looking at all factors, it would be prudent and important that the convener should have been in the House with his 15 Member supporters. Mr. Speaker, Sir, evidently, you can see that the Leader of Majority is not in the House and the Majority side has only two Members. I raise this concern because I think there is a game that must not be accepted in this House by the leadership of the political parties."
