Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think it is important that we specialize as far as law making is concerned.

These Bills have to be enacted by Monday. That deadline was set two years ago. So, the Executive had two years to prepare these Bills, but they brought them last week. So, they had a two year period, but they waited until the last two weeks.
