    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the last sitting, I requested for your direction on Standing Order No.29(5) and your direction was that you called us because this matter is urgent and exceptional. That is why you recalled us from our holiday. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to report that the Committee has not had even a week because we have been working overnight. Maybe because Sen. Sang wants to go and sleep, we should not limit debate to five minutes on such grave matters. Even before I mentioned amendment to Section 44(a), I had used two minutes. In this particular circumstance, I am afraid even if we have to sit overnight, tomorrow and the day after, we have already sacrificed our holidays. We have come for a Senate Special Sitting and if our colleagues want to go, allow us to debate for as long as we can. The country is watching not for us to vote but because out there, there is a misconception that we are talking about different things and debate here will correct those impressions. Therefore, Sen. Sang must wait for us to speak and listen carefully because today, we are going to talk and he shall listen. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you."
