    "content": "We must realise that the Government comprises three wings, namely the Legislature, Judiciary and Executive. The Executive arm of the Government is not suspended. What is suspended are the regular in-person meetings. I think that is quite wise, but in the nature of the Executive, there are parts of the Executive that must operate fully like the police. Others can operate virtually. In the Judiciary, they went ahead of us. The Judiciary is not suspended. The measures they have taken are two. One, you cannot go and file a case in person. There is what we call “e-filling.” Once you do that, if you have a hearing, then you conduct it virtually. Only the judge and the clerk can be wherever they are, but you can attend virtually. Unfortunately for us, by the very nature of what we do, you cannot conduct all parliamentary business virtually. You can conduct some virtually, but not all. So, if the other arms of Government are not suspended, why should we stand suspended?"
