    "content": "Senate Majority Leader, we came here to guide the country when opinion divides the country. So, just allow me two minutes to make my point and then conclude on my seconding. Since you have correctly interpreted what took place in court; that there were no orders against the composition of the leadership of the Senate, given that there are designated seats in this House, like the Speaker’s Chair where you are seated, it is a seat in this House--- Just because the Standing Orders say that a Senator can sit anywhere, that does not invite Senators to go and sit where the Speaker is seated. These seats are designated; let Members sit wherever they want. However, we, as the leadership, sit where we are supposed to sit. We cannot be in a country run by social media. Let me confirm. If the courts had ruled that the Majority in the Senate has become the Minority, I would have been the first to move to respect the courts. However, because there is no such a matter, let us clear the confusion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I second the Motion that the composition be as stated. I thank you."
