Business in the Lok Sabha collapsed tonight for want of quorum, leaving the discussion on Motion of Thanks to the President's Address incomplete.
The issue of lack of quorum was raised by Dushyant Chautala of INLD, when the House was discussing the Motion.
P Venugopal, who was in the chair, ordered ringing of quorum bells but in vain.
BJP members like Anurag Thakur were seen rushing to the House as frantic efforts were made by the government managers to muster a quorum.
Union Ministers like Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Thawar Chand Gehlot were in the House.
Venugopal later announced that there was no quorum and adjourn the House for the day.
As per the quorum rules, at least 10 per cent of the total strength of the House should be present. In this case, 55 members were required to be present while the number was only 44.
