    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The matter raised by hon. Khalwale is a very critical matter. The Sixth Schedule of the new Constitution, Article 27, says that, “the Boundaries Commission established under the former constitution shall continue to function as constituted under that constitution and in terms of Section 41 (b) and 41 (c) and it shall determine the boundaries of constituencies and wards using the criteria mentioned in this constitution,” and several other things mentioned. The law also indicates that in the discharge of its functions, this Commission shall not be subject to the direction of any authority. There has been very clear interference on the functions of this particular Commission. We are worried that, now that it is coming to an end and its work has been interfered with, we view this as a very grave violation on the Constitution by the executive. This is actually an attempt to scuttle the implementation of the new Constitution and therefore, probably this Government is not serious in implementing this Constitution."
