"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. It is important that we do not legislate in vain. It is also important that we all know that the rights that enshrined in our Constitution are inalienable. In other words, they cannot be taken away from you by anybody or any institution or any Government. So, this particular House cannot be the one taking away the rights as enshrined in the Constitution. I think this particular clause that the Chairman is proposing is open to abuse by authorities. Each one of us should put ourselves in the shoes of the ones being searched without a search warrant. We also know that around politics, this is the one thing that can be misused to fight an opponent. Therefore, I oppose this particular amendment and I want to urge the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, to consider withdrawing this particular amendment. It is not in good faith and it is illegal."
