    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish I had been allowed to go on and explain. They would have understood. There is a lot of goodwill already coming from the Government. It is not like you are talking to a Government which is not aware of what its people are suffering from. This is a Government which is already implementing something that has not even been put in a policy. It is now coming to a policy level. The Government has gone out of its way. We are already covering over 210,000 beneficiary households in this country. We have been scaling it up over the years and, honestly, I need to point out that this is not a Government that is not sensitive to the issues affecting its people. That is why I just wanted to talk to you, people, so that you can understand. Yes, it is true that this is timely but all the same, the fact that we are at the printing level, I do believe that this is something that is going to be discussed immediately we come back. However, if we are not going for recess, towards the end of this week or next week, we should be able to discuss it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I concur with the others that we are in a hurry but the Government had already started implementing. I want to take this opportunity to ask my colleagues to bear with us. Thank you."
