New Delhi, Dec 2: Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has taken leave of absence for the entire winter session of Parliament on health grounds, Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu informed the House on Thursday.
"I have to inform the honourable members that a letter has been received from Dr Manmohan Singh, member, stating that he is unable to attend the entire current 255th session of the Rajya Sabha, from November 29 to December 23, due to his illness," Naidu said.

Singh
has
the
permission
of
the
House
to
remain
absent
during
the
current
session
of
the
Upper
House
of
Parliament,
to
which
the
members
responded
in
the
affirmative.
"Permission
to
remain
absent
is
granted," Naidu
announced.
It
is
a
practice
to
take
the
permission
of
the
House
if
a
member
seeks
leave
from
the
proceedings.

minister
