The point is those who are not responsible for the crisis is being made to pay for the crisis. It is the corporate who have made the crisis. It is the working people who are being made to suffer for the crisis that the corporates have made themselves. Who made the crisis? The classical example is Satyam. Under the sleeping nose of the Government, Rs. 7,000 crore was lost and people are on the verge of being thrown out. The crisis has been generated by the corporates and it is the working people who are paying for it. The Government has reduced the taxes, rightly so. The Government has asked for decrease in the interest rate of the bank lona. I do not grudge. The banks have been asked to advance lavish loan to the corporates, even to the deafulters. What a wrong step! But has the Government put a pre-condition? Please mind this. Has the Government a pre-condition on those who take advantage of the social benefit? Whose money they are receiving from the banks? Taxes have been reduced at the cost of the people. Therefore, it is the social benefit that is being rendered. No pre-condition has been imposed that if you take advantage of the loan and you get the benefit of the reduced tax, you should not retrench. The Government is too weak to speak in a strong language to the corporates that you must not retrench the workers because we are giving you soft loan, because we are giving you the benefit of reduced taxes. The Government is too soft. Therefore, the question is, the Government is absolutely sleeping over the biggest national human deprivation problem in the post war period in India. But because of your generous intervention, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I compliment you profusely as a friend of the working people you have enabled me to raise this issue.
