00:00I think Honorable President, if he's watching, he will not agree to a bill which has not been sanctioned by him.
00:05In fact, amending the very preamble, sir, what have we left with?
00:30The Honorable President, if he's watching, he will not agree to a bill which has not been sanctioned by him.
00:59The question is that leave be granted to deduce the bill. Those in favor will please say aye.
01:04Those against will please say no. I think the ayes have it, the ayes have it, the ayes have it.
01:10Sir, amendment to preamble, as I said earlier, is an attack on the very edifice of constitution.
01:19Are we allowing this house to ransack everything? Sir, when you called for ayes and nos,
01:25the nos were much more prominent, yet you chose ayes. I don't know why. If the bill is a bill
01:31which, under the constitution, cannot be introduced without the previous sanction
01:36or recommendation of the President, I think Honorable President, if he's watching,
01:40he will not agree to a bill which has not been sanctioned by him. In fact, amending the very
01:46preamble, sir, what are we left with? My friends from the other side said it has happened before.
01:51Sir, a bad President should not become a norm. Please, avoid these kind of temptations, sir.
01:59This bill does not require the consent of the President. I'm making it clear to you.
02:06But this is the property of the house. The house has to decide, not me, not the chair,
02:11sir. Please be clear. Sir, I would suggest to the chair to reserve this
02:18and they give a ruling in a later date. Later on? Okay.
02:24If this is the opinion of the house, then we'll reserve it. I'll come back. Thank you.
