We would like the Government to clearly take up this matter. I just want to link this up with the Attorney- General’s advice to the President not to sign the Indemnity Bill. These are the kind of things that that indemnity Bill wanted to protect. Our security forces have been indemnified to do whatever they want to do. So I would like to bring this to the knowledge of the country. It has not become clear to the House, today in the 21st Century, we have people in Bute taking photographs, I wish to---"
