    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this question is to be addressed in view of the fact that our Committee found information which was not correct, and which we believe the two principals used to address the matter. For this reason, we are concerned that we need to uphold the constitutional rights as provided in Article 27(4) of the Constitution. It clearly states that the State shall not discriminate directly or indirectly against any person on any ground, including race, sex, pregnancy, marital status, health status, ethnic or social origin, colour, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, dress or language or birth. There is also need for the interviewing panels in the future to bring up the issue of ethnicity even before the interviews take place. In case, if some ethnic groups have to be discredited, they should not even be called for interview. Finally, we need to include all the 42 tribes in the tribal balance when ethnicity is being considered, particularly the minority tribes. We should also follow Article 56 of the Constitution. The changed Motion negates what we had considered as fairness in the whole exercise. Now that this Report has been changed substantially and is completely different from what we had proposed earlier, I move that this Report be rejected by this House. I beg to move."
