    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for indulging me. First of all, I am a member of the said Committee, whose Report is being discussed this afternoon. I would just like to thank the former President for leaving this country and commissions intact, as spelt out in the Constitution. That has given us the opportunity to interview the nominee and determine that he is qualified to fill the position of Commissioner of the NPSC. Currently, the Constitution is at a huge risk. When I put that question to the nominee, I was impressed by his answer. The police are breaking up the ongoing demonstrations using violent means against demonstrators. What would he do to ensure that the Constitution is upheld, and that picketing, which is enshrined in Article 37 of the Constitution, is effected? The nominee was honest and open and said that given an opportunity to serve on the NPSC, he will ensure that the Commission sticks to the letter of the Constitution, and that peaceful demonstrators or picketers are not violently attacked by anybody, least of all, the police. For that reason, I gave him my vote. I am happy that I did so. I support the Report once again. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
