"content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I sit in this committee and I had a chance to listen to all the nominees and that is the reason why I rise to support. We had issues that were raised by all the Members. One of them was gender balance. We know that the Constitution speaks about one third gender balance on every appointment and in this list, we had only four women. I know that the Supreme Court ruled and said that this can be handled progressively. But, I know it is difficult to achieve this especially on elective posts, but when it comes to appointments, it is high time that we start practising this."
