    "content": "One can have an affinity to many people, including people in this House. You and I have some affinity because we are Senators. So, if I commit a crime, you will be arrested because of me. This word will be used for political persecution. We are in political parties and we get ourselves in those political parties because of some affinity. So, if my party leader, deputy party leader or my secretary general commits a crime, then they will come for me. So, we must clearly indicate that as legislators, we have a problem with this word “affinity”. I know we cannot do much about it at this point because we need two-thirds of Members of this House to override that. However, it must go on record that this House was uncomfortable with the definition of the word “relative”. Foreign legislations, which are forced on us are the ones creating problems in this country. We are now talking about Gen Zs and too much freedom. It is because we adopted a Constitution that this country was not ready for. That is why we have problems. This piece of legislation is going to cause problems in this country. It will be used for political persecution and intimidation of people. I will be in Government today, and I will not be there tomorrow. What will happen is that they will come for me."
