DRAFT CONSTITUTION 959
Nichols Roy, I think that he wants the tribal areas to be a separate entity so that British influence could permeate these tribals areas. As a Member of the Government, Dr. Ambedkar knows well—and I have known something— about these tribal areas.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : All I can say is that it is perfectly possible to devise some means by which we can eliminate this foreign influence altogether.
Shri B. Das: The Drafting Committee...
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : The Drafting Committee has nothing to do with eliminating this foreign influence. It is the function of some other body but I can assure my friend that it would not be difficult to get rid of this foreign influence.
[Paragraph 2, as amended was added to the Schedule.]
(Paragraph 3)
*Shri Kuladhar Chaliha : ...In fact this amendment is the same as mine and therefore Dr. Ambedkar should have accepted mine than by adding like this and watering down and making a fuss of making laws. It is better to accept by amendment No. 113 than the amendment of the Drafting Committee.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : The honourable Member has already moved it for me. If you will take it as if moved by me, it will save time.
Mr. President : I take it that he has moved.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Shall I move it formally?
Mr. President : Yes.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move:
“That after sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 3, the following sub-paragraph be added :—
‘ (3) All laws made under this paragraph shall be submitted forthwith to the Governor and until assented to by him shall have no effect.’ ”
Shri Rohini Kumar Chaudhuri : Mr. President, Sir, I beg to move:
“That in amendment No. 114 of List I (Seventh Week), for the proposed subparagraph (3) of paragraph 3, the following be substituted :—
‘(3) All laws made under this paragraph shall be submitted to the Governor who shall forthwith place them before the legislature of the State and until agreed to by the Legislature and assented to by the Governor such laws shall have no effect’.”
The amendment was negatived
