    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been listening keenly. As a House, it looks like we are going to a full circle. This is because some of us were subjected to similar issues during the previous session. Nonetheless, I want to make a few points. One, the wordings of Article 3 of the Constitution states, “defence of this Constitution.” You have an obligation, as the Speaker and a House, to defend the Constitution. Every matter that comes to the House is considered on a case by case. Standing Order No.1 sets the precedence and traditions of Parliament. Therefore, you must consider Article 10 on national values and principles of good governance. The rule of law forms the biggest basis of value. Today, the Minority side is trying to lecture us about disobeying the rule of law. It has accused the Majority side and Government of disobeying the law. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I remember when our brothers were de-whipped. Personally, I was removed during a press conference. So, mine was worse. At least, for others, the Communication came to the Floor of the House."
