    "content": " While at it, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you also made serious statements about the Speakers of both Houses. Since I was the accused, I did not want you to get the impression that I am quick to defend myself until you have exhausted that aspect of your submissions. I want to remind you that the House has certain rules. You are one good Senator who always reminds me to enforce those rules in the Standing Orders. Standing Order No.24(4) says:- “When delivering an address to Parliament, the President shall be heard in silence and the address shall not be followed by any comment or question.” Hon. Senator, what do you make of it when people just do other things that destroy that silence? Are we not under obligations to enforce those rules? As a Member of Parliament, do you not have an opportunity provided for? You started very well. You said, “According to the Constitution, the President was doing his constitutional duty.” That is a statement you made yourself. It is factual. It is appreciated. As a Member of Parliament you are one person with an opportunity which you have been given which you are exercising right now. That is to give your side of the story. For purposes of ensuring order in the House, it was necessary for some of those actions to be taken. I am not defending the Speakers of both Houses, but I am defending the Standing Orders. Proceed."
