Speaker","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Unfortunately, the pain has been persistent and I am still wearing part of the shoulder support mechanism. I will preside during the Special Sitting, as is our usual practice, and thereafter retreat to my Chambers. I will obviously be unable to extend my right hand for greetings in view of the surgery. I request, you, Hon. Members to be satisfied with me waving at you, or with the left hand. Having stated that, I humbly request Members to refrain from consulting me while at the Chair since I will be available in my Chambers for any urgent consultations."}
