SHRI P.R. KUMARAMANGALAM: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I am firstly grateful for the short, brief, quick and clear participation by the hon. Members. As a matter of principle, on the advice of all the leaders, we have decided to bring this Bill up in the normal course and not on the last day. ... (Interruptions)

MR. CHAIRMAN : The Minister is replying now.

>SHRI B.M. MENSINKAI (DHARWARD SOUTH): I will take one minute only. In the Bill, the word `Pension' has been used which I feel is very shameful. Instead of `pension', the word `honorarium' can be used. When I was a Member of the Karnataka Legislative Council, I was getting Rs. 2,700 as pension. There also, I fought for the change of this word `pension'. Here, we are getting Rs. 2,500, which is less than what is given in the States. So, this has to be amended.
