    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am not a Member of this Committee, but I concur with their amendments, specifically the one the Committee Chair has just spoken about. In the armed forces, soldiers go through very serious trauma, especially when there is an attack. I think a period of 90 days is okay. A soldier can hurriedly want to leave the service without thinking so much. So, 90 days can allow him or her to decide or get counselling. He or she can reverse his or her decision. When somebody is trained for a long time, it is not easy to get another person immediately. So, we encourage that they get time before they resign to decide what can happen. I also want to emphasise that as staff or soldiers resign, there is also a lot of bureaucracy in terms of paperwork. The Committee can also urge the Defence Forces that when there is any kind of process that is done on behalf of the servicemen, it has to be done a bit quickly. I have seen servicemen taking a long time before they get their dues or before they are released. Before anything is done, there is a lot of paperwork and bureaucracy."
