    "content": "In this era of terrorism, they are exposed to so many risky situations every day. Most spouses of the military officers keep bidding good bye to their husbands or wives because when they leave in the morning – of course, even all of us – nobody is sure you will go back home. However for them, it is a situation where there is anxiety and worry for their spouses, day in, day out. Madam Temporary Speaker, extending counselling services to family members of people who served in the armed forces will serve a very useful purpose. I propose that this should even be extended to their children. Some of us know what happens when we are away from home for a week. You come back to questions from your children, wanting to know where you were and why you decided to be away all the week. You can imagine a young father or mother who is forced to be away from home, maybe for two years because of duty. What do you expect of that family and the young children? They will be exposed to a lot of stress. If these services are extended to them, they can be counselled to understand the nature of work that their parents do. That way, we will not mess the families of people who serve in our disciplined forces."
