    "content": "On a point of Order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I just want to draw the House to the fact that I had also proposed an amendment to the Fifth Schedule which is actually the same as what Mr. Abdikadir has done and going by your earlier direction, it would certainly fail. Let me just say that in the past, we have celebrated pieces of advice given to us by the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution. I just want to put it on record that (CIOC) has given an indication to us that we have to be very careful that even as we agree with this negotiated position by this House, the position that we are about to take could easily be unconstitutional. Since in the past we have celebrated advice by CIOC, it is important that we remain consistent. But I am not trying to persuade hon. Members to move away from where they are because I can see the mood of the House is just to get done with this. However, it is important that it goes on record that we could easily face a constitutional challenge on this Fifth Schedule that we are pushing through. I do not intend to vote against it but I will allow it to pass with that reality in mind."
