"content": " Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. I can assist the House. As a colleague lawyer, you know that in law and legal drafting, the word “man” is unisex. Where you use “Chairman,” it means either sex in law. In fact, if you look at the entire common law structure, every statute and all legal systems use “Chairman.” I would like to persuade Sen. (Dr.) Zani that there is no point of moving away from the beaten track. We are not making laws just for gender but for posterity. In many instances when you have a lady as a Chairman, you say exactly what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said. It is up to us to decide but it will not be for the reason that “Chairman” is not unisex. In law “Chairman” is unisex, as it is in the Bible."
