160Uncorrected/ Not for publication- 08.12.2009factors and uncontrollable factors. As far as controllable factors areconcerned, they are within the reach of human beings. On the otherhand, in the wake of science and technology, we are able to dosomething even with regard to uncontrollable factors. If that be thecase, I could cite one or two reasons. One is the mishandling of theissues which are faced by us.It is on record that the Government has gone to the extent ofexporting rice, wheat and pulses recently when the prices are going uplike anything. When the prices in India are shooting up, why have theygone for export? This is my first point.Secondly, Sir, there is corruption. In the rice export, a scam hasalso occurred. The sugar prices could not be controlled even duringfestival season. Sir, the Minister the other day told us that he has tomake a balance between the interest of the agriculturists and theconsumers. While I agree that the interests of both should beprotected, but, at the same time, this balancing has to be done withoutaffecting the interests of either side.Sir, due to paucity of time, instead of dilating on the variouscauses and reasons for the price rise, etc., I would like to comestraightway to the measures to be taken so that the prices can becontained because I am more concerned about it.Coming to point no. 1, they should go to the root cause insteadof looking upon the periphery. I used to cite even a couplet fromThirukkural. But I don't repeat it here. I think, first the root cause of anyissue has to be found out and then its solution can be found out. Now,Sir, coming to point no. 1 ...
161Uncorrected/ Not for publication- 08.12.2009MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: How many times you would say, 'numberone'?DR. K. MALAISAMY: Sir, when I am talking about the measures, I havegot three or four measures which, I think, are very relevant for theMinister. Sir, you had given me five minutes. But so far I have takenonly two-three minutes.MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Unfortunately, the clock is right here in frontof me. You have already taken five minutes.DR. K. MALAISAMY: Sir, kindly bear with me. I will try to finish in twothreeminutes. Sir, I am very conscious about my time.Sir, coming to inflation, the Government and the Reserve Bank ofIndia can do wonders to control inflation. They should ensure moneyflow and they should also reduce the interest rate and lower the tax toboost the demand and induce savings and investment. The Governmentshould spend on infrastructure and social programmes. This is the waythe Government and the Reserve Bank can do it. This is number one.Then, secondly, Sir, they should deal with -- some of the hon.Members have also mentioned it -- unscrupulous elements strictly. Theyshould not have any sympathy for them. On the other hand, they shoulddeal strictly with the unscrupulous elements and anti-social elements likemiddlemen, hoarders, black marketeers and unscrupulous traders whoare mainly responsible for artificial creation of demand and supplyresulting in price rise.Thirdly, Sir, there is a need to streamline the corruption-riddenPublic Distribution System. Madam, Jayanthi Natarajan was saying thatit looks as if everything is okay in Tamil Nadu. Where is Mr. Siva?
