"content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I tend to oppose that for a simple reason. I want the House to listen to me. I think the spirit of that provision is that, for example, on the 24th August all the way to 31st August period of the census, an emergency or disaster can happen in any village or area. It is not about voter transportation. In fact, you are told if you are not counted on 24th August because of one reason or another, you will be counted on 25th, 26th and 27th. So, what happens if an earthquake takes place in an area, and God forbid? What happens if there is fire or a security conflict in an area? Those are the emergency circumstances. You do not need to define emergencies. So, it is not automatic, but a certain area in your constituency can have an emergency. Maybe, it rains and there are landslides and people cannot be reached. I think that is the spirit of what is in that clause. It is not that you want to cook. What do you cook? I think when it says emergency, then nobody can use politics because you can only use politics if the place is safe and you must give a reason why you did not count those people. What happens if a small part of a village gets an emergency? I ask the Professor, who is my good friend, to just withdraw the amendment."
