Comment on this

It is my pleasure to welcome them. It is a very serious issue in society that people must compulsorily retire at 65 and it is my duty to draw attention to the matter.

When there is someone in this Chamber who has been allowed to continue in his work, then it is only my responsibility to draw our attention to it.
