914 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Shri Brajeshwar Prasad : I would like to withdraw my amendment.
[The amendment of Shri Brajeshwar Prasad was not allowed to be withdrawn. It was put to vote and negatived.]
ENTRY 70-A
LIST I
*Mr. President : Has Dr. Ambedkar anything to say on this?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : No, Sir, I have nothing to say in reply. Young men and young women are capable of taking care of themselves. Why bother about them?
[The amendment was negatived. Similar amendment by Prof. S. L. Saksena was also negatived.]
ENTRY 59
†Shri Raj Bahadur : ...We have got to realise the seriousness of the problem. As I said, I would not move any of the other amendments, because I feel somewhat discouraged to see that the Honourable Chairman of the Drafting Committee is not even taking the trouble to reply to most of the amendments moved by other members suggesting new entries.
Shri T. T. Krishnamachari : He is engaged in studying the amendment moved by you.
Shri Raj Bahadur : I would be very fortunate if I get a reply to my motion.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, as my friend expects a reply from me, I would just say one or two words.
The question of control and eradication of beggary is a matter which has been already provided for in List III in entry 24 ‘Vagrancy’ which includes beggary. The only point is whether it should remain there or should be brought in List I. I think it will be better to leave it in List III so that both the Provinces and the Centre could operate upon that entry.
[The amendment of Shri Raj Bahadur was withdrawn.]
