    "content": "If you look at Chapter 6 of the Constitution, it is very difficult to collect and gather what constitutes a violation other than on two grounds; one, when somebody has been removed from office or dismissed from office. However, the entire provisions found in Chapter 6 have many principles and directions which have been given, and which do not necessarily constitute a violation that would bar somebody from assuming office. My fear is that someone can come with a general formulation that you did not sleep at home last night and, therefore, you are not behaving the way you should behave and, therefore, making that a violation. This is something that needs to be set out more specifically so that when you cannot assume office because of violation of Chapter 6, it is on grounds that are evident and crystal clear and you can meet the grounds, if at all, you want to challenge them. The Chairman of the Committee should look at this again and guide us in the future. During the discussion on the Bill that is coming in subsequent Order, you will realize that a lot of this can be used to target those who assume elective office. They can be told that because they violated Chapter 6 in general, they cannot stand for office. I think that is something we should look at."
