    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to oppose Hon. (Dr.) Pukose’s proposed amendments and I do it with respect because he is my friend. I would also like to bring to light that there is a way in which laws which have been framed work, so that we do not end up mixing them up. Clause 33 is the one to be followed. I agree with him that we should respect the human rights of people who have already been settled there by the Government. While opposing this, we should have a formula of ensuring that these people are taken care of. We can do variance, so that we take care of the people as well as the forest. We need forest cover in the country. We can do it within the law and the right procedure, so that people living there are taken care of and we also comply with the law. We should not set a dangerous precedent such that when further requests are made, we end up degazetting or destroying forests instead of having a forest cover. That will be against the law that we are making."
