Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute on this statement and for bringing this House to this position.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue regarding our security is at stake. The Committee in charge should handle this issue more seriously. Things are just happening. In today’s newspaper, there is a story about the “white widow.” If we had enough CCTV cameras in our country, then we would have known whether she is in this country.
