DRAFT CONSTITUTION 357

*The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, as I accept the amendment. I have nothing more to add.

(An Honourable Member rose to speak.)

Mr. Vice-President : In this matter my decision is final. I have not yet found anybody who has opposed the motion put forward by Mr. Santhanam. There might be different ways of praising it, but at bottom and fundamentally, these speeches are nothing but praising the amendment.

The motion was adopted.

Article 31-A was added to the Constitution.

ARTICLE 32

†Shri Syamanandan Sahay (Bihar : General) : Sir, I will move amendments Nos. 933 and 934 together with your permission. I move :

“(i) That in the article 32 after the word ‘education’ a comma and the words ‘to medical aid’ be added ; and

(b) that for the words ‘of undeserved want’ the words “deserving relief be substituted.”

‡The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar (Bombay : General) : Sir, I oppose the amendments.

Mr. Vice-President (Dr. H. C. Mookherjee) : I put the amendments to vote.

[Amendments Nos. 933 and 934, and 936 as further amended were negatived.]

ARTICLE 34

#Mr. Vice-President: The amendment of Mr. Ramalingam Chettiar runs as follows :

“And in particular the State shall endeavour to promote cottage industries on co operative lines in rural areas.”

That is the language of the amendment moved by Mr. Chettiar. Therefore, it is in order. Now the article is open for general discussion.

$Shri S. Nagappa (Madras : General) : Sir, I do not want to take time of the House. I just want to make an amendment. After the words ‘to all workers, industrial’, the word ‘agricultural’ may be added.
