| Message | Mister Speaker, The Dudmanwali speaks of welcoming everyone as your guest and respecting him for who he is, hospitality is a great virtue for the Dudmani. Thus this xenophobic and isolationist proposal must be rejected! Baseer Olaysar Party Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Kalistan will never implement segregation based on ethnicity or ancestry, and she will never recognize the Dudmanwali as anything else than tribal customs, many of which are backwards and undemocratic. Kalistan is a friendly and welcoming place, where one's ethnicity or religion does not matter, and we have for centuries been a safe refuge from people all over Terra fleeing fascist or theocratic regimes, and that is something we do not wish to see changed. What we would like to see stopped is the flood of various undemocratic and misogynistic immigrants, who bring their archaic "traditions" into our nation and dilute the True Kalistani Culture.

| Message | Mister Speaker, What a shortsighted statement by mister Chopra, the Dudmanwali speaks of accepting everyone, how does the "People's" Party think we wish to segregate? We welcome all! It seems that you want to deny entry to all the peaceful peoples of Terra to live in your closed off egocentric country with no shred of humanity! Baseer Olaysar Party Leader |
