MR.  SPEAKER  :  Shri  Indrajit  Gupta,  would  you like to say something as a
reaction from the Government?



THE MINISTER OF  HOME  AFFAIRS  (SHRI  INDRAJIT  GUPTA):  The  Leader  of  the
Opposition  has  formally given a notice for moving a motion under Rule 184 to
discuss the whole situation in Uttar Pradesh, particularly with regard to  the
crime  and  the  law  and  order  situation. Now it is up to you to admit that
motion for discussion. If you are going to admit that motion  for  discussion,
then  at the time of discussion, naturally we have also got many things to say
on behalf of the Government which we wish to say. But just now if you  ask  me
for  reaction,  what  reaction  can  I give? Everybody is deeply concerned and
worried over what is happening in the largest State in  this  country.  It  is
heading  for  anarchy,  chaos and destruction. What can we do in order to stop
this? (Interruptions) It is not a matter of a reaction.  It  is  a  matter  of
discussing  various  aspects,  various  factors  and  various forces which are
involved and to try to reach some kind of a consensus in this House as to what
kind of urgent measures and steps are required to be taken. I  will  endeavour
to  do  that  when we come to the discussion, if you admit that motion of Shri
Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

MR. SPEAKER : I think we have heard enough from all sides.

			... (Interruptions)

MR.  SPEAKER  :  When  we are talking about serious things, why do you disturb
like this? You cannot be irresponsible like this. We have heard from all sides
including the Home Minister himself. I reserve my ruling now because I am also
waiting for an official report from the Home Ministry. We have asked for  that
report on the 21st itself. I will give my ruling tomorrow on this issue.


MR. SPEAKER: Shri Nirmal Kanti Chatterjee, do you want to  say  something?  On
Friday,  you  extracted  an  assurance  from  me that "I will allow you to say
something."

SHRI NIRMAL KANTI CHATTERJEE (DUMDUM): That was about Bofors.

MR. SPEAKER : Kumari Mamata Banerjee, tomorrow I will give my ruling.

SHRI  NIRMAL KANTI CHATTERJEE (DUMDUM): I wanted to raise the issue of Bofors.
