Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our interests as a country is to attract investments, and in order to attract investments, the Government has a duty to create a conducive atmosphere; this can only be created by improving our laws and tightening some of the things, like in the Central Depository system, if there are loopholes. The amendments which have been brought here are meant to tighten rules in order to avoid any loopholes which might give unscrupulous traders an opportunity to mess up with our capital markets."
