934 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : (a) I have, not seen the book.
(b) The attention of the Honourable member is drawn to my answer to his supplementary question to starred question No.
31 by Mr. Lalchand Navalrai on the 2nd November 1944.
(c) Yes; it is included in Demands for Grants for 1945-46 under the head “Miscellaneous Expenditure connected with the War-C.5— Expenditure on War Publicity-C. 5 (4)—Labour propaganda”.
Mr. Badri Dutt Pande : The Honourable Member had said the other day that a statement of the accounts will be placed on the table of the House. When is he going to do that?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : That does not arise out of this.
Mr. Lalchand Navalrai: If the Honourable Member has not read that book, may I tell him that there are two books, one against the other. One is by Mr. Jamnadas Mehta and the other by Mr. Roy. Will the Honourable Member send for these books and read them and he will then find that there is a contradiction between them ? Will the Honourable Member then go into this question and find out how this money has been spent-whether it has been divided half and half between them or what ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I do not propose to spend my money on purchasing them. If they are sent to me, I will read them.
Mr. T. S. Avinashilingam Chettiar : I am sorry I could not catch the answer to part (c) of the question. Will the Honourable Member kindly repeat it ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I said that the grant is in the Demands for Grants.
Mr. T. S. Avinashilingam Chettiar : Has the grant been enhanced or is it the same amount ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : It is the same amount.
Mr. Lalchand Navalrai : If I send these books which I have got with me, will the Honourable Member read them ?
