MADAM CHAIRMAN : Before I call the next speaker, I call Shri Handique to present the Thirtieth Report of the Business Advisory Committee.
         
PROF. M. RAMADASS (PONDICHERRY): Thank you Madam Chairperson for the opportunity afforded to speak on this very important issue.  Now, the Bill introduced by the hon. Member, Shri Chandrappan calling for the abolition of capital punishment is one of the most controversial one.  There are divergent views not only in this Parliament as we have just now witnessed but also elsewhere in the world and elsewhere in the country we have differences  of opinion on this very important question.  There can be arguments for it and there can be arguments against it.  Many studies also reveal no conclusive evidence of various issues which arose on the question of abolition of capital punishment.
