"content": "probably they would have said that the party or coalition not in the Government should provide majority and chair but they did not say that. I could understand their dilemma. This is because as it has been expressed here eloquently by many Members that we have the Majority and the Minority in this House. There is no Government and there is no Opposition. We also know aesthetically that there is the Majority who also owns the Executive. So, we are all aware of these things. So, we are not saying that we should bend the law just for the sake of it. That is why I said at that time that, sometimes, when we make rules, we should think of posterity and not expediency. I think this time, this Parliament is called upon to rise above these differences and grandstanding we are seeing here, sit down and realise that, perhaps, it is in the interest of the Majority to cede that ground. So, my pleading is not based on any law or any Standing Orders. I am just pleading to the Majority side to see reason."
