He claimed that the law that records, records or tapes the private lives of individuals in the intelligence department, which does not have a transparent working style even with his name and work, has seriously hurt the image of the advocate of freedom of the constitution. .
"I would like to draw the attention of the government to consider not only this bill, but also in a bill of this nature, to consider the matter of compliance with the constitution," said Saud.
In the parliament, he mentioned the author George Orwell's book 'Nineteen Eighty Four' (1984) written in 1948, and reminded that until 1984, all activities of the society would be monitored by the state as a 'Big Brother'.
George Orwell's book warns that totalitarian rule, excessive surveillance, and thought control can completely destroy people's individual freedom and truth.
It is mentioned in the book that when the state takes control of all information, history and language, citizens lose the ability to think freely and also lose the right to live a free life.
