    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to finally say that the image of the Police Force in a way reflects on the country. Therefore, as you walk around, you see policemen and you wonder whether they are really policemen. For example, most of the policemen are overweight. In other countries, you have a limitation of the waistline. I saw this morning a Traffic Policeman riding a motorbike and I sympathized with the motorbike. He was too huge to ride a motorbike, yet he is a policeman. How can this policeman run after a criminal? I would like to suggest that the Code of Conduct that is going to be prepared by the Inspector-General must, of necessity, prescribe the maximum weight of a policeman. Similarly, the Code of Conduct must also prescribe the waistline of a policeman. If it is 32 inches and a policeman exceeds that, he must be given notice to go home unless he reduces the weight. I know this matter may be looked at as petty, but it is so crucial because the image of this country must be reflected through our policemen. Today, I am sorry, it is not the case. Therefore, I would like to ask the Minister, when prescribing the Code of Conduct for policemen, to ensure that the matter of weight and waistline is considered."
