    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 28(1) be amended by deleting the word \"distributed\". Clause 28(2) be amended by deleting all the words from the word \"accused\" to the word \"person\", and be replaced with the words, \"complainant to prove that the accused person distributed, administered or caused harm to partake the substance with a view to engaging in sexual activity with him or her\". Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if we do not amend that, we shall have left the people who engage in legal business like pharmacist who distribute drugs that cause sedation in jeopardy. When an accused person is brought before a court of law, he or she can mysteriously enjoin chemists and bar owners into the suit. That way, the person who distributed the drugs and did not know how they were going to be administered ends up in jail. I am proposing an amendment to Clause 28(2) because, as it is, we are leaving the burden of proof to the accused. So, by changing it, I am trying to make sure that the burden of proving that the drug was administered intentionally should be on the part of the one who is complaining."
