Time unknown

I seek leave to move a motion without notice or debate on the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

💬 SPEAKER: Leave is sought for that course of action. Is there any objection? There appears to be none.

I move, That this House joins the Indian diaspora in celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the father of a nation, and note that Mahatma Gandhi used the notion of civil disobedience to organise peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against excessive land tax and discrimination, and inspired many others to the path of non-violence.

Motion agreed to.
