    "content": "The other thing we have noted is that, at times there have been a lot of delays in passage of very crucial Bills.As we go out tonight, there are some Bills that have not even been attended to. There are Reports that have not been discussed, and yet they are going to lapse as per Standing Order No. 146 (3). When they lapse, it means that all that is money and time wasted, and that should not have happened. Let there be a programme where we must pass a certain number of Bills per month, term or Session so that we will be seen like we are working. Let every other person be seen like he is committed to the work because that commitment is calculated. We need to have a system where Senators feel like they belong and report to the Speaker for guidance if there is no such a development. So, it is important that all of us here should be seen like we are collectively responsible for mistakes and success of this House. Where we have succeeded, we say that we have done well. Where we have failed we need not point fingers, but find out why we have failed, why we have not passed some of the very important Bills and why even some of the amendments were not possible to be made. This is something that should be addressed on time so that we are seen to be a House that is meaningful, delivering and capable of shaping the destiny of our country. It is important to also note that as we go out now, we are going without acting. As we pack, we will not see some of these people again, maybe for five or ten years. We will just have memories. So, those will be fond memories for what we have been doing here. I thank all the Members who have been here to contribute and support one another. I will miss all of them. Those on the other side of the opposition, we behaved and acted like brothers. Those on the Government side were able to interact quite a lot and that is what all of us are going to miss, including those who have left us even before. May they rest in peace and we meet somewhere in heaven. Thank you. I support the Motion."
