    "content": "Well, you know every committee has its mandate clearly defined and, among other things, is to bring reports about Government Ministries to which they are responsible. If it is a select committee like the one on implementation, it has mandate to even bring a report that a certain Government functionary is not implementing a particular resolution of the House. That is if it is a resolution and not the one of “urging”. If the House resolves that this and this happens and it will be done by a particular Government department, then the Committee will surely be able to follow up. Please, do not put yourselves in a position of weakness. You have all it takes to really put the Government on its toes even through the reports. Then you will find that the Government will start paying attention to the resolutions of the House. The moment it will begin seeing reports here saying that a particular Cabinet Secretary here is not implementing resolutions of the House, you will see them coming up here to say: “We are sorry. We did not do this. We are going to do it in the next one week, two weeks or wherever.” However, I am sure that we all need to take up our responsibilities seriously. I think we have now sufficient material on this. Let us move to the next Order."
