    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, having quoted all that, they go on to say that: “This therefore, requires special type of remuneration”. The hon. Member asked whether I agree. Of course, if there was complete agreement, there would not have been these other negotiations that have been taking place. We felt that this remuneration was on the higher side, and it could be scaled down. But the other parties were very adamant that this level of remuneration was adequate. Nevertheless, we have decided that we must respect the law to the letter as passed by this Parliament. Therefore, we will not engage anymore in bargaining or in further wrangling. We will pay the money the way it is because as in TheMerchant of Venice, they have demanded a pound of flesh. All that we are saying is that let there be no blood spilled in the process of taking the pound of flesh."
