Do a few things like imposition of travel restrictions to the North. You do not

care what inconvenience people are put to because you do not consider them

your own. You do not care worse what indignity they suffer because you do not

consider them your own. That is the hard truth and that is what this House

must understand. Merely claiming that the war has ended and you have

defeated terrorism is not enough if you continually sow the seeds thereafter for

discontent, for people to suffer indignity, for people to feel that they are

somehow inferior to the others, for people to think that they do not belong or

they are not wanted in this country, that when they freely eercise their

franchise and if it is against the powers that be, they will suffer punishment for

that, and even the representatives whom they freely choose will not be given

any power and that area will be administered directly from the !entre.
