PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 815
(42)
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE
Mr. Deputy Speaker: The hon. the Prime Minister will make a statement regarding the work before the House and the holidays.
The Prime Minister and the Leader of the House (Shri Jawaharlal Nehru): Tomorrow I believe, has been notified as a holiday in our list of holidays on account of the tenth day of Mohurrum. But I understand that the moon did not behave according to the prescribed date and the tenth day has been calculated to be the day after tomorrow and not tomorrow, and in fact that the Chief Commissioner of Delhi has declared day after tomorrow as a holiday on account of Mohurrum. I would suggest therefore that this house too may observe day after tomorrow, and not tomorrow, as a holiday on account of Mohurrum—that means, sitting tomorrow and not the day after.
Shri Kamath (Madhya Pradesh) : Will the session end tomorrow ?
Shri Jawaharlal Nehru: I cannot say that.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: There is so much of work on the order paper.
Shri Jawaharlal Nehru: Let us meet tomorrow. We do not meet day after tomorrow. But we may have to meet the day after that, possibly on Sunday.
Pandit Kunzru (Uttar Pradesh) : Why on Sunday ? Why not on Monday ?
Shri Jawaharlal Nehru: We can consider that. Why not Sunday and Monday?
