    "content": "For the future of this country and in the performance of your constitutional duties, never be intimidated. If my day comes, I will accept it but I will never sell my conscience because I know of men and women like the late Seroney - one of the most brilliant lawyers - who could have lived longer as parliamentarians, but for his standing for the truth, we are now enjoying some of the privileges. Let us think of those people who sacrificed so much. In Parliament, people like quoting Martin Luther King. There is another famous French philosopher who we also like his quote; \"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it\". That was Voltaire. It is beautiful when you say it but when that moment comes, we speak a different language. This is what I would like to say in defense of what we are supposed to do. If you are being violated and I swore to defend the Constitution of this country, however much we disagree, I will stand up to defend you. I also expect you as a patriot to defend me. That is why the word “patriot” is there in Article 10. So, let us not behave like a nation of beasts or people who live in the animal world. Let us be men and women of honour and distinction. I thank you and beg to second."
