The first thing is, that they will now have to come and take the oath, for which, they can come with the permission of the court and concerned authorities, they can come out and take the oath. The police will bring them to the Parliament, after which they will be handed over to the Parliament security. After they take the oath, they will be sent back to jail with the police. Whenever they want to take part in an important work or vote in the Parliament, they will be brought in the same way... They are given special permission to attend Parliament sessions, after which they are taken back to jail... They will not be able to serve the people since they are in jail. Still the people have elected them.”
