"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to second this very important amendment and plead with the House that for once, let us take this particular one very seriously. The 40 plus or minus population quota formula is not guaranteed to give the likes of the sparsely populated areas due consideration when it comes to boundaries review. Hon. Members will remember that actually the Bill of Rights section which we have already passed, confers the duty on State organs and all State officers to address the issues of the marginalized and this is one serious issue of the marginalized. The Constitution itself already recognizes that the next review will have to take into account the needs of the sparsely populated areas by ensuring that no constituency is lost. But then after that, they will be open to the population quota formula which becomes dangerous to them thereafter. It is not possible to succeed on a run to be able to give enough births so that the population quota formula is sufficient. Future constituencies will remain 349---"
