    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to appreciate the preparedness of the Minister. We appreciate that as a House. But still on the same Standing Order 80(5), it says: “Notwithstanding this Standing Order, the Speaker may allow reference to any matter before the House or a Committee.” The point of order I am drawing here is that there are thousands of teachers who were affected by this. In a way, the Government can make pronunciations in terms of policy not necessarily delving into the matters that are pending before the court. We want to know what the Ministry’s position is on the thousands of teachers who retired between 1997 and 2007. It is a policy issue. So I was requesting if you can revoke your powers under Standing Order No.80(5) to allow the Minister to speak on the policy matters so that the teachers who have retired including those from very many parts of the country can know what their fate is. It would help us move one step forward. This Question has drawn a lot of interest from all of us. That is why we want the Minister to say something on policy."
