However, to the government's embarrassment, the minister was not present in the house.
Minister of State for Human Resource Development Shashi Tharoor, meanwhile, rushed to the deputy chairman and urged him to let him introduce The National Institutes of Technology, Science Education and Research (Amendment) Bill. Kurien, however, did not allow that.
The deputy chairman stressed that the Street Vendors Bill is an "important bill", and members should allow the bill to be introduced. Soon after, he adjourned the house for the day.
