    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I believe the Minister has brought a very comprehensive amendment that takes care of this and in following through, even the hon. Member himself, you can see from the body language that he is agreeing. I am not quite sure whether he has been taken care of but, because we are legislating a law for the country, let us be very careful that we do not come up with a law that, in itself, is conflicting at this late hour. I would like to urge the hon. Member to withdraw his amendment so that we, first of all, go with what is very clear and sure. There is no harm, at some subsequent point, to bring the amendment later on when we have seen the impact on the entire Bill. Right now, we might be doing some patch work and then we end up with a law that is good in some areas and conflicting in others. There is something very positive that we have within the amendment brought by the Minister are holistic. I would like to appeal to the hon. Member--- We see his concerns but when we are passing a law and we bring within it reference to farmers organizations, it could even be coffee farmers or any farmer. It could be pyrethrum farmers and they represent the Tea Board. Let us be very clear on what kind of amendment we are bringing and because of that, perhaps, at this point we could as well just urge the hon. Member to withdraw it and we go with the Minister’s amendment."
