    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Probably, my Chairman was not able to explain clearly as we had asked. Clause 8 states that:- “A health worker or a proprietor shall not – (a) accept from a manufacturer or a distributor of a designated or complementary food product- (i) a gift”. We have not deleted that. “(ii) financial assistance”. We were trying to qualify that. If you turn over the page on our amendments, we have said that “by renumbering the existing provisions in Sub-section (1) and inserting a new Sub-section (2) as follows:- (2) A manufacturer or distributor of a designated product or complementary food product and the recipient health worker shall disclose to the institution to which the health worker is affiliated any sponsorship granted or received for fellowships, study tours, research grants, attendance at professional conferences, continuing education”. Once they disclose, whoever is in charge of that institution will judge whether this particular sponsorship or scholarship is right or not. That disclosure is important. Then with regard to the issue of samples and the fact that a health worker shall not accept from a manufacturer or a distributor of a designated or complementary food product samples of a designated complementary food product, when the health worker, who is a professional cannot receive that sample, you are expecting him to go and buy that sample to see how it works. Further, they have been barred from demonstrating how it is used. The mothers will require somebody to demonstrate to them. The ones who should breastfeed should breastfeed, but there are those babies whose mothers are dead. They cannot be breastfeed. There will be care-giver, who must be trained by somebody."
