    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We have very few minutes. However, I thank you for allowing me these few minutes. First of all, I would like to thank the Leadership of the Senate because we have come from far. We had many problems before we got where we are. The current discourse between the two Houses is very commendable. That guarantees continuity and harmony of the two Houses. That is the only way we can serve our people effectively. Under the Constitution, the roles of the two Houses are well defined. I am very sure that the Senate is quite satisfied with what they have been given by the Constitution. I am sure that following that situation, we will go very far. Now that the dust has settled, there is no reason this House should not do more work than it has done. We have spent a lot of time, especially in the past two years, arguing among ourselves and asking who is bigger than the other. All this has been a waste of time. We are behaving as if we have not been in school to read the Constitution and understand it. Otherwise, we would not be talking the way we are. Some people have talked about the security of this country. It is true that we are leaving when insecurity is a big problem. The biggest question you should ask yourself is: Whether we sit here or not, will the system change? Has the tradition of our security operators changed? Unless a few things are done, regardless of the past, going by the new age of security equipment and personnel, things will not change even if we stay here for a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
