    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have a comment and not a question to the Minister. When we passed the National Security Intelligence Service Act in 1998--- I have heard some of the hon. Members who were here at that time raising very strange remarks about the NSIS. The framework on which we set up the NSIS with departments like the Economic Intelligence and the Foreign Intelligence and Industrial Espionage, among others, was to keep surveillance for us. Hon. Members mistake this Service for people who are in a market or kiosk owners who preach in the cross-roads. When the NSIS collect intelligence information, they are supposed to take it to designated destinations. Whether it is about the Artur Brothers or anybody else, they are supposed to take it to the President. That is in the Act. The question we should ask is: Has the President ever complained that he does not receive intelligence information from the NSIS? The answer is \"no.\" Those who complain are people who are not aware about what the NSIS is supposed to do or what it does."
