DRAFT CONSTITUTION 1087
supposing the Prime Minister does not propose, for any special reason or circumstances, to include in his Cabinet members of the minority community, there is nothing which the Governor can do, notwithstanding the fact that we shall be charging him through this particular Instrument of Instruction to act in a particular manner. It is therefore felt, having regard to the fact there is no discretion in the Governor and there is no functionary under the Constitution who can enforce this, that no such directions should be given. They are useless and can serve no particular purpose. Therefore, it was felt in the circumstances it is not desirable to have such Instrument of Instructions which really can be effective in a different set of circumstances which can by no stretch of imagination be deemed to exist after the new Constitution comes into existence. That is the principal reason why it is felt that this Instrument of Instructions is undesirable.
Mr. President : The question is :
“That the Fourth Schedule be deleted.”
The motion was adopted.
The Fourth Schedule was deleted from the Constitution.
