Since your honour has directed me to raise the point of order… Sir, it is under Rules 266 and 176.

So, I am requesting your honour to kindly convert my notice under 267 into notice under Rule 176 by exercising your discretionary power under Rule 266 for a Short Duration Discussion on the subject that I have raised through my notice under Rule 267. That is my humble submission and request to your honour to consider. suggestion. I will take it into consideration and take a call and indicate so. Now, Matters raised with permission, Dr. John Brittas on ‘Demand to assist Kerala in rehabilitating the landslide victims in Wayanad district’.
