DRAFT CONSTITUTION 917
Shri Mahavir Tyagi : Why don’t you add the word home Guard and make it clear?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : There are armed police; there are unarmed police.
Mr. President : The question put by Pandit Kunzru is whether a province will be able to raise an army, without calling it an army, but calling it police.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I am sure if a province is going to play a fraud on the Constitution, the Centre will be strong enough to see that that fraud is not perpetrated.
[Amendment of Mr. Brijeshwar Prasad was withdrawn. Entry 4 was added to the State List.]
ENTRY 7A
*The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move :
“That after entry 7 of List II, the following entry be inserted :—
‘7-A. State pensions, that is to say, pensions payable by the State or out of the Consolidated Fund of the State.’ ”
This is merely a corresponding entry to what we have already done so far as List I is concerned.
(List 7-A was added to the State List)
ENTRY 9
†The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move:
“That for entry 9 of List II, the following entry be substituted :—
‘9. Acquisition or requisitioning of property except for the purposes of the Union, subject to the provisions of entry 35 of List III.’ ”
The only change is that the underlined words are now put in the Concurrent List and it is therefore necessary to omit them from this entry. This is also what we have done with regard to a similar entry in List I.
[Dr. Ambedkar’s motion was adopted Entry 9, as amended, was added to the State List.]
ENTRY 10A
‡The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move :
“That after entry 10 of List II, the following entry be inserted :—
‘10-A. Ancient and Historical Monuments other than those specified in entry
60 of List I.’ ”
