ENTRY 18
†The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: Sir, I move :
“That for entry 18 of List II, the following entry be substituted :—
‘18. Education including universities, subject to the provisions of entries 40,
40-A, 57 and 57-A of List I and entry 17-A of List III.’ ”
[All amendments to Entry 24 were rejected by Dr. Ambedkar and were negatived by the House. Entry 24 was added to the State List.]
Sardar Hukam Singh (East Punjab : Sikh): Sir, Now, that Pandit Bhargava has moved this amendment that this entry should be transferred to the Concurrent List there is no need for me to move my amendment and I wholeheartedly support Pandit Bhargava’s amendment.
‡The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I am prepared to accept this amendment (of Pandit Bhargava as below):
“That with reference to amendment No. 3626 of the List of Amendments, entry 43 in List II be transferred to List III as entry 9-A.”
(The motion was adopted.)
Entry 43 of List II was transferred to the Concurrent List.
ENTRY 45
#The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I am very much afraid that both my friends, Mr. Shibban Lal and Mr. Sahu, have entirely misunderstood the purport of this entry 45 and they are further under a great misapprehension that if this entry was omitted, there would be no betting or gambling in the country at all. I should like to submit to them that if this entry was omitted, here would be absolutely no control of betting and gambling at all, because if entry 45 was there it may either be used for the purpose of permitting betting and gambling or it may be used for the purpose of prohibiting them. If this entry is not there, the provincial governments would be absolutely helpless in the matter.
