*Shri Rohinikumar Chaudhari : ...But I would say that the amendment which he (Dr. Ambedkar) has moved this morning is merely a Camouflage.

The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Camouflage for what?

Shri Rohini Kumar Chaudhuri : Because Dr. Ambedkar seems to indicate by this amendment that he has altered his view in regard to the inclusion of any part of the Shillong Municipality in the autonomous district.

Dr. Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I have not altered my view.

Shri Rohini Kumar Chaudhuri : Paragraph (2) of the amendment as it stands includes...

Shri T. T. Krishnamachari : May I point out, Sir, that we here are completely disinterested in this matter and there is no need for any comouflage at all.

Mr. President : There is no question of comouflage because the paragraph is perfectly clear that he wants to exclude, the Municipality of Shillong except that part of it which is comprised in the state of Mylliem.
