Sir, the bill, as it has emerged from the joint select committee, has certainly been one which is much more acceptable to the workers than it was when it was originally moved in this house. Sir, as far as the general principle and the objective of the bill are concerned, it is very laudable, not only because of the fact that the workers in a welfare state are entitled to leisure and are entitled to know exactly the terms and conditions under which they have to work but also because of the fact that as far as the transport workers are concerned. Sir, that the large number of accidents that take place on the roads are due to the fact that some of the transport workers have to work so strenously that after a time they begin to experience fatigue and as a result of that they are not in a position to have that alert mind which is absolutely necessary if the accidents are to be avoided at least in the crowded streets. Madam, in the Course of Seven years as Prime Minister, I may have made Mistakes. Above making Mistakes? To err is human but to Accuse me of Evil Intentions, of Conniving at Corruption is a Charge I firmly Repudiate. Madam, this is not an Occasion to trade Allegations to and from and I am not going to deal with this Matter as the Matter is before the Court or before the Various Committees of Parliament and they will come with their own Conclusions. I would, however, like to say that Corruption is a Multifaceted problem. Therefore, we, as a nation, have to find Practical, Pragmatic Means but Effective means to tackle it, and this is not merely the Responsibility of the Central Government. The State Government are Responsible for over 50 per cent of the total National Spending and the Conduct of the State Government, which is come. In this Connection, I demands that Computerised Reservations system should be Introduced Amass. This planned economy is really not a thing that will go successfully hand in hand with a democratic set-up unless some other things are there. We could have offered more constructive suggestions. Maybe, the government is partly responsible, for they may not be co-operating with the committee in giving all the material that is necessary for the committee to come to some sort of conclusion and give their findings on such an important question.
