    "content": "who are supposed to be guided or counselled would know that they are sick because everybody usually says that he or she is fine. I say I am fine and do not need any guidance and counselling. Everybody else might be saying that. Apart from the people who are roaming the streets because they are sick, how shall we determine that so-and-so needs guidance and counselling? Maybe, we need to look into that more closely. There was a case I came across in my constituency at the beginning of the year. I was called because people wanted to lynch a half-naked woman. I rushed to the scene and arrived at the spur of the moment. They had brought paraffin, firewood was there in plenty and they wanted to lynch the woman. However, there was a man who kept on saying that he knew the woman, and that she was not normal. He told them that she was a mad woman and that they were killing an innocent person. I found this person still insisting the moment I arrived. I talked to my people. I told them to take this person to hospital and find out what was happening with her. The person who had instigated this was a man who found this woman sitting at his doorstep when he opened the door at 6.00 a.m. She was simply sitting there half-naked. He concluded that she had gone there to bewitch him or do something sinister. When he yelled and called the other people, they collected firewood and were ready to lynch the woman on the pretext that she was a witch. After speaking to them, they allowed me to take the woman to hospital, where she was tested and found to be deranged. She was not normal. She underwent treatment and is still on drugs. The problem is actually subsiding. We should look for ways of finding out who needs counselling because innocent people might be killed. There are men who have been killed not because they have messed up with anybody, but because they are deranged in their ways of thinking. With those remarks, I support the Motion."
