    "content": "understand what is happening. They just live under the mercy of all of us because we have not put things in order for them. I support this Bill and pray that it shall find the light of day through this Senate and Parliament. This is because they should also be fully represented in courts and hospitals. Most of them, once they are arrested by police, suffer a lot because they have no sign to show that they are deaf. They are just normal human beings like all of us. By the time the police realise that they are deaf, they go through a lot of beatings and mistreatment. The police think that they are just quiet and are not responding to their questions. Therefore, in police stations, we should have officers who understand the sign language to represent the deaf who go there. We should have them in hospitals also. When they go to hospitals, they should be fully represented to explain their sickness and communicated back to by the doctors. We should have the sign language officers all over even in churches, mosques and even in public transport, if possible. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, because of the time and I am sure she would want to respond, I would stop there. I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. I beg to support."
