OBITUARY MAKING
Mitali Manu (P.M.) - Madam, I would like to pay my tribute to Shri Arun
Nehru, whose death has been deeply mourned by all. He had been one of the
sharpest minds in Indian politics and during his parliamentary career he
actively participated in House proceedings and made valuable contributions
for the society. He was a warm person who had dream and determination to
get the nation to reach the heights of glory. He was an active social and
political leader. Therefore, the shock of his passing away is regretted. I would
like to pay my condolences to his family.

Secretary General may convey the message to the bereaved family.
QUESTION HOUR
Speaker: Now the question hour starts, Question number 101:
Ms. Vani Gupta please.
Vani Gupta: Honble speaker madam,
Will the Minister of Commerce and Industry be pleased to state?
(a) Why does the Government want to bring in Foreign Direct Investment in
India?
(b) Brands like McDonalds and Starbucks harm the native business like
Haldirams and Bikanerwalas.
3
You should not only ponder over the profit making aspect but to others as well
i.e. better and much better lifestyles of people associated with the FDI.
The economy of India is tearing down the barrel and FDI can provide some
stability, and mind you madam, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has proved to
be resilient during financial crises. For instance, in the East Asian countries,
such investment was remarkably stable during the financial crises of 1997-98.
McDonalds came to India and started making aaloo tikki after all, Indians
would not let go off their palate.
But equally important is the fact that Haldirams now has 38 stores worldwide
including 3 in London. Bikanerwala is a 1000 crore company with 85 stores
across the world.
Speaker: Member to ask supplementary question please.
Vani Gupta: Maybe a college student aspiring for a part time job will benefit
from FDI. But what about the local kirana shop owner, the poor farmer, the
uneducated man in search of a job, who only finds jobs scant and scarce
dominated by those with education. What about them, madam?
If we must go down, we will go down fighting. But, we must go down fighting
for the poor not the rich, for the country not MNCs.
Our every move for the greater good cannot be criticised like this. We have to
mobilise the resources the resources, somehow.
Its not that we wont do it or we wont do it... We have to do it.

Medha: Your party sings the glories of the mid-day meal, but what about the
children in Bihar who were fed with insecticides instead of nutritious food and
in regions like Chennai, Punjab, and Madhya Pradesh where the foul food was
served and claimed the lives of many children.
Speaker: Deputy Minister Of Agriculture please.
Deputy Minister Of Agriculture: Madam, Were shocked by the Bihar mid-
day meal tragedy the centre has for the first time come out with guidelines to
be followed by all schools within the country with special emphasis on hiring
qualified hands in the kitchen and strict monitoring, we will prescribed code
of hygiene and safe practices to be followed during procurement preparation
and securing of meals.
According to this, schools should have at least one full time in-charge certified in
food safety, I repeat, one full time in-charge certified in food safety education
training.
Speaker: Next question Ms. Jessica Duggal.
Jessica Duggal: Thank you maam!
Will the Minister of Defence be pleased to state?
(a) What steps has the government taken in regard to the REPETITIVE and
REPORTED incursions of our neighbouring country China on borders of
Laddakh?
(b) Kindly brief us with the actual conditions of the LINE OF ACTUAL
CONTROL.
6
With even the brigadier level talks failing and the Chinese continue their
reinforcement of the military camps they had set in the expanded 19 km
Indian territory and our DEAR government still looking for available options
and hoping for peaceful relations with China. It seems that our country is the
tolerant of all.
-
.

I request the honble Minister to brief us with the actual conditions.
Speaker: Minister of Defence please.
Minister Of Defence: Pakistans armys role in the attack could not be denied.
Every Indians heart burns with anger & fury & the blood boils. As a defence
minister I have to do something but as an Indian citizen it is my duty to do
something & I will do everything possible in this regard. Those in Pakistan
who are responsible for this tragedy & the brutal killing of the soldiers will not
go unpunished. The government calls for military to military mechanisms to
ensure that the situation does not escalate. India is all set to discuss steps with
Pakistan for further strengthening of the already existing mechanism both at
political & military levels. Proper compensation have been given to the
families of the soldiers. Well simply not act as mute spectators but will take
7
the case to the highest level possible. The solution lies in dialogue &
discussion and not in distributions.
I assure the house that our government will take necessary measures to
uphold the sanctity of the nation.

Speaker: Lets move on to our next question. Question 105 Ms. Libin Deena
Raju please.
Libin: Thank you, Speaker.
10
Honourable speaker madam, I would like to ask concerned minister what
plan of action will be initiated by the government to win back the trust of
domestic & foreign investors?
The measures are likely to send the rupee in a permanent upward trajectory.
Therefore let us not make the people panic, let us see realistically and though
it is a matter of serious concern let us not consider a situation that Indian
economy is dead. Even today despite de acceleration of economic growth, after
china India has grown at a rate of 5 % during 2012-13.
______________________________________________________________________________________
BREACH OF PRIVILEGE
I would like to bring to the notice of the house a serious instance of breach of
privilege. This happened with regard to an Urdu newspaper published and
circulated from Aligarh whose editor has cast our party members in bad light
going as far as using demeaning vocabulary for many. I think that the house
11
should take strict action and act in union with regard to upholding the dignity
and sanctity of our public positions.
Speaker: Honourable member, have you given a notice of it earlier? If not you
may & I shall consider it. You cannot play a spring of surprise on me like this.
Meghna: Yes, ma'am I have submitted the evidence of this at 8:00 am this
morning.
Speaker: It will be examined when it comes to me, I shall consider it and let you
know my decision. Now papers to be laid.

BILL INTRODUCTION
18
Speaker: Now the House will take up consideration of the indecent and
surrogate advertising and re-mixing songs prohibition bill. Honble Minister of
Information and Broadcasting please.
Minister of Information and Broadcasting: Madam I lay on the table a copy
of the Indecent and Surrogate Advertising and Re-mixing Songs Prohibition
Bill to be taken into consideration.
Honourable speaker madam, I would like to introduce the bill which is in
regard to prohibit publication or telecast of indecent or surrogate
advertisements and remixing songs which contain vulgarity and nudity that
adversely affect the minds of children and the young generation. With the view
to protect the values and culture of the society and for the matter therewith or
incidental.
Under this act no person shall:
a) Publish or telecast or cause to be published or telecast or arrange to
part in the publication, telecast or exhibition.
b) Produce or cause to be produce, depict, circulate, distribute, broadcast
or telecast any indecent remixing song.
c) Any person who contravenes the provisions of sub section (1) shall be
guilty of an offence under this act.
d) Any person who contravenes the provisions of section 3 shall be punished
with an imprisonment of 5 years and may extend up to 10 years and with the
fine which shall not less than 3 lakh rupees which may extend up to 7 lakh
rupees.
e) Where an offence under this act has been committed by a company, firm, or
association of individuals every person who, at the time the offence was
committed, was in charge of and was responsible to the company, firm or
association for the conduct of such acts.
Speaker maam, I am confident that all honble members of this house
irrespective of the party affiliation will welcome the bill whole-heartedly and
help to put an end to the publication of vulgarity. With these words, I now
move the Indecent and Surrogate advertisement and re-mixing songs
prohibition bill to be taken into consideration.
Speaker: Motion moved. Ms. Kritika Taneja please.
Kritika Taneja: Hon'ble speaker madam, I assert my vehement opposition to
the consideration of such a bill. Madam, India is a democracy where freedom
of speech and expression is its USP. Most of the vulgar ads as termed by the
members of YP are of brands which manufacture products like inner wears,
vests, deo, body lotions, creams, soaps or shower gels. Madam, quite obviously
& evidently; the use of such products is done without clothes which mean to
19
promote these products, it is necessary to show the body parts concerned
which in no sense portrays vulgarity. If it was so, such ads won't have been
allowed to be telecast on national television. I may have no faith in this Govt.
but i have trust on this Ministry in these regards.
Speaker: Ms. Ishita Bhattacharjee please.
Ishita Bhattacharjee: Honourable speaker maam, even I as a responsible
Indian citizen & audience assert absolute faith in the passing of this bill.
Madam, in the name of freedom of speech and expression the ad-makers
have woefully gone beyond their limits. Today, the exposure of the society to
obscenity, nudity & vulgarity is crossing all levels of decency and damaging
our culture. Of late, the television channels show remixed songs where the
popular songs of the Hindi movies are played in the backdrop of vulgar scenes
or ads. Also As per the government policies, advertisements of liquor and
tobacco products are prohibited in print and e-media. But manufacturers
promote such products in surrogate ads.
Speaker: Ms Anya Korula please.
Anya Korula: Remix music is a freedom of expression.
Its lyrical content flow like a poetry and often tells us a story.
Advertisements are the source of mass media for earning its livelihood.
In my opinion these ads & remixes are not so bad. Instead of putting a ban on
it, we should change the mindsets of people.
20
murder, etc. hence I conclude with the belief of banning such ads and songs
which is vested in the welfare of larger interest of the public..
Speaker: Ms. Marya please.
Marya: Honourable speaker maam. I am strongly in favour of this bill to be
passed, since advertisements that we see on our televisions, which obviously
are seen by people of every age including children & senior citizens. They are
made so indecent and controversial that it seems what they are advertising is
not the product but vulgarity and nudity. The modern advertising Era has
proved to be a bane to our society.
21
When we think of music videos, one visualises image of a woman who is
titillating, sensuous and whose sole purpose is to arouse men with the show of
half naked bodies. The music industry has begun a new onslaught on women's
dignity and right to privacy with the lyrics, scenes and dialogues touching
dangerously low levels of degradation and sexual abuse. Such music albums
that have become popular with the youth can encourage them to indulge into
casual sex and intimate relationships. We dont need more nudity and
profanity on television. I think the house would agree what we need is
stringent censorship of indecent and surrogate advertisements and remix
songs that adversely influence our impressionable generations. This isnt an
issue which should be taken lightly & requires immediate restriction,
censorship & control.
Speaker: Minister of Information and Broadcasting please.
Minister of Information and Broadcasting: Based on the wide ranging and
holistic discussion by the House, Speaker maam
I request the house to pass the bill.
Speaker: The question is:
That the bill indecent and surrogate advertisements and re mixing of songs
prohibition bill be taken into consideration
Those who are in favour will say Aye
Those who are against it will say No
I think the Ayes have it , the Ayes have it, the Ayes have it.
The motion is adopted.
Clause by clause consideration.
Speaker: Now the question is that clause 2-10 stands part of the bill.
There is an amendment in clause 5 by Ms. Kritika Taneja. Are you moving it?
Kritika Taneja: Respected speaker maam, in view of the reply given by the
minister I am not pressing my amendment any further.
Speaker: Now the question is that clause 2-10 stand part of the bill.
Those who are in favour may say Aye
Those who are against it may say No
I think the Ayes have it , the Ayes have it, the Ayes have it
The motion is adopted.
22
Clause 2-10 stand part of the bill.
Now the question is:
That clause I, the enacting formula and the title stand part of the bill.
Those who are in favour will say Aye
Those who are against it will please say No
I think the Ayes have it, the Ayes have it, the Ayes have it.
The motion is adopted.
-Minister of Information & Broadcasting Please.
Minster of Information and Broadcasting: Maam, I move the bill to be
passed.
Speaker: motion moved.
That the bill is passed
Those in favour may please say Aye
Those against it may please say No
I think the Ayes have it, the Ayes have it, the Ayes have it.
The motion is moved.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Speaker: Now the House will take up the private members resolution.
Ms. Vandana Bhatia to move the resolution:
Vandana Bhatia: Madam, I move the following resolution.
This house recommends that the government should:
1) Take stringent steps to effectively combat the increasing rape cases
against women in India.
2) Strict instructions to be given to the police services to improve their
investigational conduct with the victims and not in any case deter from
lodging the FIRs.
3) There should be capital punishment for rapes to set examples in the
Indian society and send strong message against this evil crime.
23
4) A facility of post-trauma therapy to help the victims retain their calm,
peace and confidence to relive with ease and bliss.
Also Maam, Theres an urgent need to re-examine the laws that govern the
juveniles of our country.
Honourable speaker madam,
The existence of women epitomizes love, struggle and dedication; they do not
deserve this dastardly behaviour in return. The Indian government ought to
break into this serious matter and tame this menace with efficiency.
Speaker: Ms. Niharika Gupta please.
Niharika Gupta: Thank you maam. Maam at the outset I thank ms Vandana
Bhatia for bringing into centre stage this very shocking story in to resolution. I
would like to make two suggestions. First, the government should empower
and establish the institutions and the NGOs to work in these regards and
impose stringent measures to effectively combat such awful activities.
Also maam the zealous journalist of the media would be an immense
breakthrough in nailing such criminals and campaigning against this social
evil.
