Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.101(3), which talks about offensive or insulting language. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is a renowned bullfighter and perhaps, he finds it acceptable to use analogies of bulls and heifers mounting each other. However, contextually, that is extremely insulting to some of us.

Is it in order for Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to be allowed to pursue that trajectory? If we do not deal with this thing, the next day he is going to call someone a pig and we know how derogatory that is in certain cultures and religions. In my culture, if someone calls you a dog; whether old or young, whether mounting another or not, that is the highest insult. Could you guide the House and declare

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with a lot of respect, I withdraw. I have spent the entire morning sitting next to the bullfighter. So, I believe he has infected me in a way. I hope that the bunch that is here will be our doctors, lawyers, software engineers in future. They shall be the ones providing solutions that this continent and globe faces as far as climate change is concerned. They will be the team that will take us to the metaverse and one that will carry Elon Musks ambition and that of other billionaires that there could be life outside ...
