    "content": "There are fundamental issues - and specifically one - which I want to touch on now, which is the question involving public participation. It is a matter which is in public domain out there, although I do not want to bring issues that are out there into the House. But I want to ask that if there is a Report in the House in which fundamental principles of the Constitution have not been met, that is, public participation on an issue as serious as this one, is it possible that Hon. Speaker, may suo motu direct that the Committee retreat to consider such sentiments as much as possible so that we do not have a House which has a bad face? I know that during COVID-19, things have been different. Even the issue of public participation somewhat is different. But when we have a Report which both in the general domain and within us we entertain a view that probably we should have opened to more participation than it would, instead of waiting for the gravy train to roll on, is it not easy and cost benefit that the Hon. Speaker can suo moto direct the Committee to open up this Report to as many stakeholders as it can?"
