    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me a chance to contribute in support of this Motion. I remember we were with you in the nighth Parliament together with many others here when Sen. Musila, brought a Bill of this kind. When the Bill was passed, there was confusion in the offices at that time. To our surprise, nothing much has happened since the Bill was passed. People still suffer and struggle to get their benefits. Therefore, I wonder whether what we discuss in this House and the other House is just like mere talking shops. We need to have some of these things properly implemented. There is also the need to have the implementation committee so that such things are acted upon. If we have to keep on discussing things, we need to know how implementation is going on. This is a Motion which is a wake-up call for us to start thinking whether we are dealing with issues that had been discussed earlier. We need to find out what is happening. We cannot keep on discussing Motions here and yet there is no implementation taking place. This Motion should serve as a wake-up call. We do not have to discuss issues and keep on reviving them. We should bring the people who are in charge to book and ask them what is wrong. This Bill was passed in the Ninth Parliament. I remember I made my contribution towards it."
