• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to speak on this very important Motion. When the history of this Parliament – National Assembly and Senate – is written, many people will come to appreciate that this Bill could, probably, be one of the most important Bills passed by Parliament.

• 23 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that point very much. Even one person can sign a petition. All I am saying is that when a committee is considering these petitions, they must take that into account. If it is just one person and you say that you are speaking on behalf of the community, who gave him that right to speak on behalf of the community? If they are 20 people and they all come from one sub-ethnic group, who gave them the right to speak on behalf of the other ethnic group in the county? These are the issues ... view
