But the two ministers were not summoned even after the 35-day notice expired, and the matter was not put on the agenda.

Meekail stated that he took a point of order on March 3 to find out the reason for the delay, and the speaker had responded by assuring him a clarification.

However, he stressed that the parliament Secretariat had not given an update on the matter.

According to the rules, a 14-day notice must be issued to the minister with the question to be asked in writing through the speaker, and the minister must appear before a sitting to respond to the question.
