386 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Shri Mahavir Tyagi : I want information. I do not dispute your judgment or your right, I only want to know whether the sense of the House will be accommodated in regard to the amendments ruled out or whether such amendments will be considered by the Drafting Committee or some other body ? My suggestion is that you will be doing well the House if you will kindly appoint a small sub-committee which will go into these verbal amendments and find out whether some of them at least aim at effecting a change in the meaning of the clause concerned. I do not dispute what you said. They are out of order because you have ruled them as such. But even commas and fullstops have some value. My only request is that ...
Mr. Vice-President: May I suggest a better way which might appeal to you, a way which is better than the appointment of a sub-committee ? Those who think that their amendments are of some substance may
I am sure due consideration will be shown to them.
Shri Mahavir Tyagi : Now I am satisfied, Sir.
