Next, I come to agriculture which is the root cause of the problem. Only 18 per cent of the GDP is coming from agriculture. As per the Government's own admission, more than 62 per cent of the people depend on it. So, how do you address the root cause of poverty? Therefore, Sir, my request to the hon. Minister is to spell out an agenda. It is not just an agenda for the next Government, because probably, he also knows that the next Government will be from this side which will be going there. So, they will have to do something. So, my request is that with the political wisdom, while spelling out an agenda, I am sure, he will give us a piece of advice on such important issues as to how to address the challenges. Hon'ble Chairman Sir, I am glad that you have allowed me to speak on Interim Budget. Sir, in the last four five years, there was no threadbare discussion on Budget I personally feel that the opposition should have played the role of scanning the Budget but it did not do so. And that has harmed the interest of the country. This is the Vote-on-Account. It is true that there are certain limitations. Even then, it could be made more effective. There was scope for that. 61 years have passed since independence. What we perceive today is that the gap between two classes in the society is increasing day by day. True, India is shining but is also true that 'Bharat' is suffering. This divide within the same country is leading us towards a dangerous peril. Rightly there re 55 billionaires in our country who can be compared with these of other countries. In the last year only 23,000 millionaires have been added to the list. This is one side of the story. On the other hand, according to Arjun Sengupta Committee Report, 77% of the population thrive. The exections sparked widespread condemnations, heightened fears that more death sentences will follow, and prompted calls for the international community to take sterner measures against the already-isolated junta. The four were executed for leading brutal and inhumane terror acts the Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper said with out saying when or how the men were killed. The Junta has sentenced dozens of anti-coup activists to death as part of its crack-down on dissent after seizing power last year, but Myanmar had not carried out an execution for decades. Phyo Zeya Thaw, a former Lawmaker from Ms. Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy who was arrested in November was sentenced to death in January for offences under antiterrorism laws.
