    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just wish to – in connection with that statement and other requests for statements like that – seek your direction or your guidance. In the history of Parliament, where we were before, we had Members of the Executive – Ministers in the House – and they used to answer Questions, but now we do not have them. So, we have our own, maybe Majority Leader or, maybe a Committee Chairman, doing that work. But now we have broken that rule completely because the Cabinet Secretary of Finance went to the National Assembly and addressed the House from the Dispatch Box where Ministers used to address the House. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am requesting that if an issue like this comes up, other than asking, mandating or requiring our own Member to go and get an answer and then come back – now that we have broken that rule that Cabinet Secretaries are no longer strangers and they can come into the House – why can we not get the Cabinet Secretary concerned to come and answer the question?"
