If you look at Clause 7 on Fourth Schedule, it has introduced the issue of sexual harassment. There is a whole law on this. We are discussing about the Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission. I do not understand why this matter is brought in here. Of what relevance is it? There is a whole law on sexual harassment. We made sure it will be very punitive if anybody attempts, or even dreams of abusing sexually anybody else. It is very clear. I remember when we passed that law, it was highly celebrated. We, as a country, must protect our boys and girls against sexual harassment. I want to be at the forefront of that. Why bring it here? I do not understand. It is the high time that we started doing relevant things where they are relevant."}
