Clause 6 speaks about public decency or morality and Sub-Clause 5 has very wide terms. Individual authorised officers can enter any place very easily. They can interfere the privacy of any individual also. Proper instructions should be given in this regard. As regards the code of conduct, it should be properly drafted. The authorised officers should be reviewed then and there so that modern methods of mass communication are used in a civilised manner and not in an uncivilised way.
SHRI RUPCHAND PAL (HOOGLY): Sir, on the basis of the experience of the last five years with regard to the operation of the several provisions of the Cable Network Bill, certain amendments are being proposed and there cannot be any difference of opinion with regard to particular amendments being proposed. But I have a different thing to place before the House for consideration.
Sir, the views of the hon. Minister should also be presented as objectively and unbiasedly as possible.
MR. CHAIRMAN : Please conclude now.
SHRI RUPCHAND PAL (HOOGLY): Sir, I would like to continue next time.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Let me take the sense of the House. Please take your seat.
There are four hon. Members who want to speak on this Bill and if the House agrees, then the Private Members’ Business can be taken up at 3.30 p.m., so that this Bill can be passed.
SHRI A.C. JOS (TRICHUR): No; it can be done after the Half-an-Hour Discussion..
SHRI A.C. JOS : It could be after the Private Members’ Business.
SHRI PRAMOD MAHAJAN: After that, we can continue.
SHRI RUPCHAND PAL : No; on another day.
SHRI PRAMOD MAHAJAN: Why? … (Interruptions) You want Monday to be a holiday. You do not want anything to be completed. … (Interruptions)
SHRI PRIYA RANJAN DASMUNSI : Sir, I would request Shri Rupchand Pal also. It is true that the time allotted for the Private Members’ Business should not be encroached upon. Between 3.00 and 5.30 p.m., many Members will react. We could not transact any Government business today because we referred that matter to some other Committee. After the Half-an-Hour Discussion, if we sit for 30-40 minutes and finalise the Bill, it would be proper. It would also be proper for the Opposition to some extent.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is it the sense of the House that we take up this Bill after the Half-an-Hour Discussion?
SEVERAL HON. MEMBERS: Yes.
MR. CHAIRMAN: All right. Shri Rupchand Pal will continue.
डॉ. रघुवंश प्रसाद सिंह (वैशाली) : सभापति महोदय, कानून में लिखा है कि संसद की कार्यवाही छ: बजे तक चलेगी लेकिन संसदीय कार्य मंत्री जी ने रोज ही आठ बजे तक सदन की कार्यवाही चलाने का कानून बना दिया है। …( व्यवधान) एक दिन आप छ: बजे की जगह आठ, दस बजे तक हाउस बैठा सकते हैं लेकिन अब तो रोज ही आठ, दस या ग्यारह बजे तक हाउस चलता है। …( व्यवधान)
