    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to make further reference to the State Opening of Parliament. Those who have ever watched the live coverage of the House of Commons or any other Parliamentary proceedings will agree that our media houses are very unfair and unethical in the way they cover the proceedings of the House not just this time, but even during the Budget in the previous years. This is because they get preoccupied, not with the salient issues raised by either the President while addressing the House or the Minister for Finance, but hon. Members who are caught napping. I do wish to say this because I was not captured on TV so I have a reason why I should be able to defend those who were caught napping. The image left with the voters is that those specific hon. Members were actually sleeping during the entire Speech; which is not true. Secondly, those who get invited to the hallowed precincts of the House to do live coverage should never, ever be allowed to air footage of anybody sleeping or the ladies without their shoes because that is not the purpose for which they were invited here. I would wish to invite those media houses to make reference to other countries where there is live coverage of Parliament. The media March 27, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 113 there actually focuses on whoever is speaking or on others on a positive note."
