The three-line whip was issued by Congress this evening, party sources said.

The order paper of the House for tomorrow speaks of "consideration of any business entered in the List of Business for Monday, March 8, 2010 and not concluded on that day".

Parliament officials said the Bill was "partially taken up" today and therefore would form part of the business tomorrow.
