"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I have listened to the background which has been prosecuted by the Cabinet Secretary. That background has been with us for quite some time. “When funds will be available,” is a very common phrase in the Government circles. Those people have waited for decades. They have lost their land and there have been promises that money will be available at a particular time, but they are running out of patience. The Cabinet Secretary should state categorically when these people are likely to get their dues. They have marched to the relevant departments in the relevant ministries and the answer has been that they will be paid when money will be available. Madam Temporary Speaker, that answer is not bankable. I cannot go back to the people to tell them that money will be paid when it will be available. I do not know what measures the Cabinet Secretary is taking to make sure that those people are compensated. Those are poor people, just commoners in the village. They have been waiting for that money for the last almost ten years or so. It is important that the Cabinet Secretary comes out clearly to assure this House if there is any measure supposed to be put in place to expedite this process, for these people to get their dues as required."
