"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, these are normal channels in international relations and there are channels that any dignified nation should follow. That should start with the Government sending a protest note, which can be done through the Head of State or through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressing reservations or grounds on which the displeasure is expressed. That can be done in the normal diplomatic channels, without necessarily resorting to an open and embarrassing confrontation that can strain relations between nations. I do say so, because today we live in a global village. What we do and say in this House today, because of advancement in technology echoes not only across this nation, but across the globe. Those nations that have sent their representatives follow and hear what we say in this House. For this nation, through its elective representatives, to humiliate another representative of another nation will not be taken kindly by any nation. For a nation to appoint and send a representative here, they have ascertained the qualification of their representatives. They send their representatives to the Head of State to actually come and present their papers. It is an elaborate ceremony that is handled at the highest level possible, because that representative is the representative of the Head of State in the other nation."
