    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am not in any way discussing her character or conduct. I am quoting what she contributed in the Floor of this House. The Member gave us an example that in the last three by-elections, NARC(K) - the party that she chairs - has nominated male candidates only. The reason was because one of the female candidates withdrew and had to be replaced with a man. I was just demonstrating that even out of three by-elections, you could not raise the one-third at that level. How do you then facilitate, at the national level, to obligate all political parties that if they do not submit a list that has the two- thirds gender compliance, then the Electoral Commission shall reject that list? What this new amendment is attempting to do – I can see the Mover mischievously looking at us – is basically to introduce, through the back door, what was thrown out through the front door."
