The rule is often used by the opposition parties as a mark of protest on any issue and to embarrass the government, as it is the Primary responsibility of the ruling party to ensure a quorum during a regular session of parliament.
The agenda included questions hour, calling attention notice, Periodical report of the Standing Committee, motions and legislative business.
