    "content": "I have seen two worrying things not related to this which you may want to speak to. This is on the earlier one where people were talking about dressing which I have no problem with. But as we talk about dressing which he seems to borrow from Asia… An Hon. Member who I will not mention, because I do not want to victimise him, was actually walking out of the Chamber in jeans. It was blue jeans and not even black ones so we can debate whether they are jeans or khaki. Hon. Speaker, as much as we are liberal, there are still rules that need to be obeyed. Secondly, I congratulate our Members in National Super Alliance (NASA) who have for once done well because they are not used to winning. Some of us are used to winning, but the rules have not changed. You cannot come into the House with party colours even when you are overexcited unless the rules changed during COVID-19 and I am not aware. That is why even when we win as ODM, we do not come here donning orange. It might have escaped your attention, but I saw a whole lot of people here with luminous green. Maybe we can be sympathetic for once just like a person born in a leap year and the birthday comes once. So, perhaps we might be sympathetic with them on account of that, but really the rules of the House are that you do not adorn party colours. They were about four Members and at the same time walking in unison and another one wearing a mask and adorning a dress of the same colours. They are not kalasingas . Hon. Shakeel Shabbir, I do not know if that is the colour of kalasinga . But, even as we encourage them so that they can do better in future, let us keep the rules of the House. Thank you."
