"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Dr. Khalwale has stated that the Cabinet decided to âkillâ the idea of a local tribunal. I want to take hon. Dr. Khalwale along the memory lane. He will agree with me that the Government brought a Bill here intended to establish a local tribunal. That was a Constitutional (Amendment) Bill which required a two-thirds majority. If my memory serves right, hon. Dr. Khalwale himself was in the forefront in campaigning against adoption of that Bill. So, that Bill failed not because of the Cabinet, but because it was denied the numbers that it required. Faced with that kind of situation, what was the Cabinet to do? When the Cabinet decided to try to bring the Bill back to the House, the hon. Member himself and several others were on record saying that it was a waste of time. They said: âParliament decided, Parliament will not change its mind. Take this matter to The Hague.â"
