    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, while I have no intention of repeating what you have said, but this matter of Committees is really frustrating the business of the House. As the Leader of Majority Party has rightly said, you, as the Chair of the Liaison Committee and even the House, you have to crack the whip. This matter of Chairs of Committees not taking their work seriously, is not just frustrating Statements, but even Bills. We are having a problem transacting Bills. We have a pure presidential system under which we are supposed to be more efficient. So, in addition to what you have said, I want to call upon the Members--- What is emerging, and we have to say it, is that some of these Chairmen are not competent to handle committees; that is the reality. We have to look at this thing and move forward. Otherwise, we are going to continue frustrating the business of this House."
