    "content": "Order, Dr. Khalwale! Indeed, the Chair is conscious of the interest and importance of these Reports. However, the House works on its own rules. The Deputy Speaker was with the Speaker one minute before he came to the House. The rules of the House are clear and they cannot be bent. You should remember very well that there was the issue of the Grand Regency when the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade wanted to table a Report without bringing it through the Office of the Speaker. The Deputy Speaker who was in the Chair then disallowed it. On the basis of the same, the Speaker made a landmark ruling that the Speaker must be presented with the Reports, at least, two hours before they are laid on the Table. Under the circumstances, the Speaker or the Deputy Speaker did not have access to this Report up and until one minute ago when the Deputy Speaker came into the House. We cannot bend the rules! The rules are the rules! Under the circumstances, the Chair will not allow these Papers to be laid on the Table. You are lawmakers and you make the regulations and the Standing Orders of the House very clear. The rulings and precedents of the House are very clear too. The least you can do to this country is to respect your own rules and the rules of the House."
