    "content": "Dr. Khalwale, you are out of order! I have given you indulgence because I was very keen to just find out what your point of order is, so that you do not cry foul and say that you have been emasculated or muffled and we have allowed you your day to raise your point of order. Unfortunately, you have fallen short of the expectations of the Chair and for that matter, even the expectations of this House. Dr. Khalwale, you are serving the second term and you seem to refer to business that was before the Ninth Parliament and did not see the light of day; a Bill that was debated and not passed. That, quite obviously, Dr. Khalwale has lapsed. It cannot now be the business of this House, the Tenth Parliament, unless it is properly brought before the Tenth Parliament. 1136 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 12, 2008 On the second point that you raised, that international standards provide that Economic Survey estimates be tabled a month before, firstly, you have not cited which international standards in respect of what country and so if anything, your assertion is ambiguous. It has no substance in it. At the best, it is hollow. It is a mere assertion without premises. This House will be bound by its own practices, traditions and Standing Orders. The practice of this House, over the past 40 years or so, has been that the Economic Survey is tabled a day or so before, and this is what we have done even in the Tenth Parliament. Therefore, Dr. Khalwale, you are out of order and I so rule."
