"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to vehemently oppose this amendment. This amendment is not different from the original Motion. It is the same so- called square root, which does not exist anywhere in the world. We are supposed to talk about an equitable society and development. However, what we are talking about here is that some people are more equal than others; this is the animal farm. Let us say the truth the way it is. The so-called marginalized regions suffered tremendously from Independence to date, and we continue being marginalized. Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 is the way this formula is dividing this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Article 201(b)(iii) on Principles and Framework of Public Finance states- “Expenditure shall promote the equitable development of the country, including by making special provision for marginalised groups and areas;”"
