Incidents of parliamentarians not meeting the quorum due to their absence are still being heard from time to time. The main job of parliamentarians is to remain active in parliament and assist in the formulation of laws as needed.

The main responsibility of MPs is to participate in discussions on government or non-government bills and help make people-oriented laws. But there are countless cases where parliament meetings could not be held due to MPs' neglect of their role.

In the nearly 35-year history of the parliamentary system after the change in 2046, the absence of MPs has repeatedly hindered the operation of the House of Representatives meetings. It has become a tradition that not only MPs, but also ministers are not present when the parliament is in session. At least one minister must be present as a government representative when the parliament is in session. There have also been incidents where the Speaker ruled and removed a minister if there is no government representative.

The incident 30 years ago when the Speaker himself requested to find MPs after the meeting was adjourned was very interesting. The House of Representatives meeting was being held on 28 Mangsir 2052. Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat was preparing to submit the Value Added Tax Bill 2052 for a decision to be sent to the relevant committee for clause-wise discussion. In the meantime, UML MP Binod Kumar Shah, speaking in the meeting, informed Speaker Ram Chandra Poudel that the required number of MPs was not reached.

MP Shah argued that the bill should not be sent to the committee, saying that there was no confidence in the government itself. At that time, only 15 MPs from the ruling party and 8 from the opposition were present in the parliament meeting. The four rows of chairs in front of the opposition bench were empty. At that time, the parliament meeting was held in the Parliament building in the Butterfly Garden of Singha Durbar. The total number of MPs in the House of Representatives was 205.

The government was led by Sher Bahadur Deuba of the Nepali Congress. The Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and the Nepal Sadbhavana Party were also in the government. Deuba had appointed 44 ministers for the first time in Nepal's history to maintain power. But in the parliament meeting that day, 4 ministers were present. 40 ministers were not in the parliament.

Speaker Poudel had instructed the bell to be rung for 5 minutes to summon the presence of the MPs. Poudel had said, ‘Find your MPs and bring them.’ He had said that it was the responsibility of both parties to find MPs. After the Speaker’s instruction, when the bell rang, the whips of the ruling and opposition parties came out laughing/screaming to find their MPs.

The quorum was not reached in the meeting after the bell rang. Then the meeting was adjourned for half an hour. It had been three consecutive days since the quorum was insufficient in the House of Representatives. Therefore, the question arose whether this situation was a regular emergency or a planned conspiracy.

The meeting began half an hour later. The number of MPs and ministers in the meeting after the adjournment was significant. Speaker Poudel said that the quorum was sufficient, seeing the low attendance of opposition MPs. After the meeting had to be adjourned for the third time, some MPs were angry and called the incident a planned conspiracy.

Some described it as a sudden incident. Nepal Workers and Peasants Party President and MP Narayanman Bijukchhe said that the adjournment of the parliament was not a coup but a planned conspiracy. Bijukchhe said that the big parties that drafted the constitution had acted irresponsibly and pointed to the party whips, saying, 'They take advantage but do not fulfill their responsibilities.' Sadbhavana Party MP Hridayesh Tripathi argued that the absence of the ruling party MPs was due to the anger at the time that he was not able to become a minister.

Nepali Congress MP Purna Bahadur Khadka said that the weakness and negligence of the parliamentary party had prevented his MPs from being present in the parliamentary party. He said that since the parliament is everyone's party, no one can escape. UML Chief Whip Devi Prasad Ojha said that it was their responsibility to ensure that all pro-government MPs were present in the House. He said that this was a glaring example of the government's failure to take the ruling party MPs into confidence.

Rastriya Prajatantra Party General Secretary and Water Resources Minister Pashupati Shumsher Rana described the lack of quorum as an emergency. He argued that the House could function even if the quorum was not reached. MP Tripathi, while talking to Kantipur, expressed concern over the absence of responsible leaders in the House, saying that an unhealthy tradition was being developed. He said, 'The House was not left in a trustworthy manner. The backbenchers have to run the House.' This has started to give the impression that the standard of the House has declined.''
