NEW DELHI: Amid speculation surrounding the whip issued by the BJP in the House, Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday said it is for the health of the House as attendance is normally very less on the last day of the session before the recess.
The Budget session of Parliament, which started on January 31, will go on a break from Tuesday and meet again on March 2.
