    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying that even if personally I am opposed to this Motion, but it is important to note that some Members of Opposition are members of that Committee. You know some Members said that we promised a new Constitution within 100 days. What happened? When we went for referendum most of the hon. Members who were on the Opposition side, including myself, opposed it because we though it had a few things which were not acceptable. How can you now sit there and say the Government did not give us a new constitution? How could it have done so, when we opposed it? I was opposed to it because I thought it was not right. A new constitution will come when there is consensus. I do not think it is right for anybody to stand here and blame the Government for not providing a new constitution or for things which have not been done. A lot of things have been done by this Government. A lot has been done by the President of this country. I think it is good to appreciate what has been done by this Government. Even if you do not agree on particular issues, but the truth is that development has taken place. You cannot say that free education has not been implemented. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I oppose this Motion, but let the Opposition also be fair to us."
