MR. SPEAKER: Hon. Members, please take your seat. This is too much. .. (व्यवधान)MR. SPEAKER: Please take your seat.

SHRI L.K. ADVANI: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am rising only because Shri Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi has raised an issue. (Interruptions)

SHRI BUTA SINGH (JALORE): Mr. Speaker, he appeared as the prosecutor and so, he should not be allowed to make a statement here.

MR. SPEAKER: Shri Buta Singh, please take your seat.

SHRI L.K. ADVANI: Sir, I am rising only because the hon. Member, Shri Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi has raised an issue. Normally, anyone can reply on behalf of the Government, but in this case, perhaps, Shri Dasmunshi is not aware that this particular department, C.B.I., is with the Prime Minister and not with the Home Minister. So, the Prime Minister has directed Shri Arun Jaitley to reply to this issue. I have no objection and I can reply to this issue. Since the Prime Minister has directed Shri Jaitley to reply to this issue and also since this will be his maiden speech in the House, the tradition is that the maiden speech is never interrupted. (Interruptions)

could show to the Opposition, if the hon. Prime Minister could respond to us. We are not insisting that he should respond immediately. But at an appropriate time, whenever he chooses to do so, let the Prime Minister respond to us. This is the minimum courtesy that we are asking from the Government.

SHRI L.K. ADVANI: Sir, this is not a regular debate. It has been raised during `Zero Hour" and, with your permission, submissions have been made by the main Opposition Party and also by other Opposition parties.

SHRI L.K. ADVANI: When that debate comes, naturally, the House would expect that the Cabinet Minister in charge of the CBI replies to the debate.

SHRI A.C. JOS : We want the name to be deleted.

SHRI L.K. ADVANI: In this particular case, the Prime Minister has specifically asked Shri Arun Jaitley to reply to it. I would plead with you that the Government"s response to the debate should be heard. ... (Interruptions)
