"content": "Order, hon. Members! First of all, let me put the record right; hon. Members of this House are not expected to belong to any terror gang or any gang at all! Indeed, your very title \"honourable\" should exclude you from behaving like, belonging or subscribing to the ideals of a terror gang. If you do so, you are reneging on your title of being an honourable Member. However, I do not have evidence that there are such Members. If availed to me, of course, there is the Powers and Privileges Committee that will deal with it. I think it is much more beyond the Committee of Parliament to deal with such matters. I think it is a State issue. If any hon. Member belongs or subscribe to a terror gang, it is the duty of the State to apprehend and charge him or her. If found guilty, he or she must go to prison! I think the only problem that we have these days is that we think a certain class of people can commit offences and get away with it. The Minister here, must disabuse hon. Members of the fact that the Powers and Privileges Act gives them immunity from prosecutions for criminal activities. I have seen that in the past. You are not and will never be immune to any criminal activity. I certainly will not encourage it, or certainly allow anybody to commit any crime within Parliament and plead the immunity of Parliament. It does not give that immunity if you are a criminal of any nature; whether small or big. Thank you! I think I have finished with that."
