    "content": " It is not by law, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am making it very clear. It is not by law, but that appears to have been the practice for all these years. People are clamouring for districts because they want more constituencies. If we were to abolish districts and concentrate on constituencies, this issue of creation of more districts would not arise. In the US, a district is similar to a constituency here. It is referred to as congressional district. We probably need that, but we have not yet reached there. We should abolish the notion that there are political districts. There are no political districts. Districts 1184 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 7, 2006 are created when people ask for them.
