    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I am alive to that. But there is something which is worrying me and for which I would like you to guide the House. The Senator has just substantiated that senior officers in charge of security in the country did what they did. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you will bear with me, in 1972 in the United States of America (USA) exactly the same thing took place. In that case, President Richard Nixon and his close aides ordered harassment of political activists, political groups and political figures using the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) the Criminal Investigations Agency (CIA) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As a result of that parallel, Richard Nixon was impeached. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in view of this seriousness, I would like you to consider that since we want to discourage our military from walking into the arena of politics, a Committee be formed so that people who have passed this information to the Opposition can enjoy the Witness Protection Act and on oath, give us the details, so that we get to know why, on a purely political issue, the Opposition is being harassed; activists are being harassed and the media is being gagged against the provisions of the Constitution."
