00:00I am very glad that today you have given your protection to Lepcha-ji and we are hoping the same
00:07for the rest of us, especially from the other smaller parties.
00:13Or I will include this attitude to my VIP culture that's very prevalent today.
00:23Sir, this has become a malaise in the society.
00:28This VIP culture, and especially in the national capital.
00:36Sir, we have witnessed a growing phenomenon where the movement of VIPs, be it the politicians, high-ranking officials or
00:44dignitaries, leads to severe inconvenience for the common tax-paying people.
00:51The roadblocks and traffic diversions ostensibly for the safety and convenience of these VIPs have become a major source of
00:59disruption for daily lives of countless citizens.
01:02The disruptive and often detrimental VIP culture that prevails, especially in the national capital.
01:11Sir, one has travelled all over the world, but has never faced, seen many VIPs and cavalcades going, but they
01:20never stop people on the street.
01:23The other day, MPs of this house who leave from Shadul Gate were stopped.
01:32The main door was locked because there was VIP movement.
01:37We have never faced such humiliation in the last 22 years of mine in this parliament.
01:45We are not a threat to any of the VIPs, especially the political lot.
01:52Sir, there are roads where political bigwigs are living, and they are blocked.
01:59It's impossible for us to come to parliament.
02:03We have to travel and wait for half an hour.
02:07We have to time our departure from the House to attend parliament on time.
02:12And so many times I have been delayed because of this.
02:21For the farewell party, it took me one hour, one hour because it was VIP movement.
02:32Every citizen stuck, were angry, and I am telling you, if this is not corrected, there will be road rage.
02:46It's so difficult.
02:48I have seen, stuck in traffic, ambulances being stopped.
02:54Sir, you are in a very generous mood, sir.
02:59You conclude?
03:01Srimadhi, Rajini, Asosrao, Patinji.
03:08We need your protection, not only as members of parliament,
03:13of this house, who cannot be humiliated the way we were the other day.
03:20And also, please, sir, speak to the government.
03:24You are the vice president of this country.
03:26That this culture has to stop in order to give dignity to the taxpayers of this country
03:33who have brought us into this house.
