256 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Mr. Deputy Speaker : I agree with the Honourable Law Minister that inasmuch as the scope of this Bill is confined in the first instance only to Provinces of India and it is highly problematical whether it will be extended to the acceding States and if so, on what terms and conditions of accession, it will be time for them to consider whether they can come in or not. As regards the other one, it is not obligatory to send the Bill for circulation unless by a motion accepted by the
12 NOON House. The Select Committee has considered this matter and has found tliis has not been so materially altered as to necessitate a republication in the Official Gazette. For these reasons I rule out the point of order.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, before I proceed to speak on my motion, I think it would be desirable if I ............
Shri B. Das (Orissa: General): There is obstruction everywhere. Everybody rises to a point of order. Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad rose six months ago.
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad (West Bengal: Muslim): It is a different point of order. My honourable friends should have a little patience.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : I can only state that honourable members will kindly consider well before they raise a point of order. I also expect they will consider that if it should turn out to be a dialatory motion, they will invoke upon themselves the criticism of the House.
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : My point of order is not dialtory.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : It is open to any honourable member to raise a point of order. An honourable member can take as many points of order as are reasonable and proper.
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : The objection to the point of order is dilatory. My point of order is this : the honourable Minister for Law has already spoken on this motion. He completed the first part of the motion and then the subsequent stages began. He has a right to reply at the end of the debate. Now the motion has been made that the Bill be taken into consideration and a speech has been delivered on the 31st of August, 1948. We have on the agenda a list of amendments. We have to proceed straight to the agenda and then when a motion is made the Honourable Minister ceriainly has a right of reply, and in the end a general right of reply. At this stage, the Honourable Minister can not make a second speech on the motion.
