whether those matters will be substantiated or not. If we sit here today and resolve that you will be punished so harshly if you bring any allegation or say anything in this House that you cannot substantiate--- I am not saying that people should not be punished but I am looking at the gravity of the proposed punishment that will be meted out to these Members.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think I heard the Chairman of the Powers and Privileges Committee, in his submission on the Floor of this House saying that they were inquiring into whether these Members had breached the provisions of the Privileges Act. Actually, they did not find that they had done so other than to say that they made allegations against each other which they could not substantiate. That is what this recommendation is about. The Chairman of the Powers and Privileges Committee is here in the House and he should respond to that.

Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to say thanks to the President for the good Speech that he rendered to this House on 26th March, 2014. My colleagues have spoken widely with regard to the issues that the President touched on in his Speech.

In my humble opinion, the annexure to the President‟s Speech is a cry or a lamentation from the President, to the effect that the agencies we have set out to fight corruption in this country ...
