    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to add my voice to this very important Petition. I stand to support this Petition on the forceful eviction of the former residents of Dundori Forest. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you read the Petition, ‘forceful eviction’ means that these people have been pushed out by the Government. They have been there for the last 30 years, and we push them out without giving them an alternative. We know very well that many families have suffered in the past. We have interfered with the education of the young people through forceful evictions. It is high time we came up with policies that can guide our nation, so that we do not mistreat our people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had only two minutes, and I will say that in the past, we have mistreated and mishandled our own citizens. It is our responsibility to protect the interests of every citizen. The rich always protect themselves with the wealth they have through their money, but the poor have no one to protect them and their interests. We have always mistreated them and made them poorer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, much has been said by other Senators, but mine is just to say that I fully support this Petition. I stand with the people who are suffering so that we can give them their right. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. Thank you."
