"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to congratulate the Minister and all those who were involved in drafting this Bill. This Bill is very good and for the first time it will make our police force independent and be able to transact their business without any undue influence from the Executive or anybody else. So, I want to congratulate the Minister and all those concerned. There are a number of issues that I would like to raise that need to be considered. The first one is on the definition of torture. When it comes to the definition of torture, below it there is a sentence which actually seems to negate what the definition says. It says that provided the torture does not include any pain or suffering arising from inherent or incidental to lawful sanctions. I want to know what that means because it makes it look like there are certain areas where it is lawful to have torture."
