Mr. President : I have notice of some amendments which are printed in the Supplementary List. Does any Member wish to move any of the amendments ? They are in the names of Shri Satish Chandra, Shri B. M. Gupte and Prof. Shibban Lal Saksena.
(The amendments were not moved.)
*Mr. President : We were dealing with article 175 day before yesterday before we rose. We shall now continue discussion on article 175....
Shri T. T. Krishnamachari (Madras : General) : Sir, may I submit that that article has very little to do with article 172. ...I suggest that article 175 be considered apart from 172.
Mr. President : Would it not be better if we were to dispose of 172 first?
Shri T. T. Krishnamachari : That is entirely to be decided at your discretion. We may take up 172 first and then have the vote on 175.
Mr. President : Do you have any objection ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar (Bombay : General) : I have no objection. Sir, I am entirely in your hands.
Mr. President : Then we shall dispose of 172 first and then go to 175.
