Four MPs with listed questions missing from LS

While the Congress leadership has taken a serious view of the absentee MPs on Monday,BJP leader L K Advani,at Tuesdays Parliamentary Party meeting,demanded to know about the MPs who were not present during the Question Hour in the House on Monday. A BJP leader said only two MPs from the party were absent during the Question Hour,a far bigger number of absentee MPs came from other parties,and there were no plans of action against them. They would be asked to be careful, the leader added.

Deputy Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj suggested that the system where it is normally not possible to accommodate more than six questions,was to blame.

JDUs Rajiv Ranjan Singh Lallan,one of the absentee MPs on Monday,concurred and demanded a relook at the system. It was a Monday and I reached LS late,coming as I was from my home state. The real solution to the problem,however,would be slotting more time for the Question Hour,two hours maybe, he told The Indian Express.
