When we passed the National Security Intelligence Service Act in 1998--- I have heard some of the hon. Members who were here at that time raising very strange remarks about the NSIS. The framework on which we set up the NSIS with departments like the Economic Intelligence and the Foreign Intelligence and Industrial Espionage, among others, was to keep surveillance for us. Hon. Members mistake this Service for people who are in a market or kiosk owners who preach in the cross-roads. When the ... view
