    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are proposing an amendment to Clause 37 and the proposal we are making is for sub-section 1(c). We are seeking to delete it; that is information relating to that person’s family or private affairs may be required. We are seeking to delete that. We are also seeking to delete sub-section (2) which states that the limitations under section 1(c) shall apply where the person has committed an offence or is suspected to have committed an offence. I believe that has already been taken care of by Mr. Keynan’s amendment but more importantly, we are also seeking for an inclusion of a new clause to say that the Service shall prior to taking any action under this section obtain a warrant under Part IV. We are seeking to imply that so that it is quite clear so that the warrant of arrest is mandatory. It is quite clear that deprivation of a fundamental right under the Constitution, the section should be clearly well worded to avoid any ambiguity and also bearing in mind where we are coming from, for avoidance of any doubt and about even the history of the institution, we do not want to leave any ambiguity as to what the agency can or cannot do. Now that we have also denied it the role of the police; powers of arrest in general, this will make its responsibility even more clear. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
