292 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
I do not want to throttle this motion. The honourable Member may proceed. I have already said that honourable Members will first move the motions standing in their names and then there would be a debate on all the motions together. The next amendment stands in the name of Pandit Mukut Bihari Lal Bhargava and Shri Jhunjhunwala.
Pandit Mukut Bihari Lal Bhargava : The motion moved by my honourable friend Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad is substantially the same. Therefore, I would like to support his motion.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : He need not give his reasons for not presenting. What about Mr. Jhunjhunwala ?
Shri B. P. Jhunjhunwala (Bihar : General): I join my friend Mr. Bhargava.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : So he does not press. Nos. 7 and 8, I have already said are out of order. The scope of the Bill is confined to the provinces and not to any acceding State.
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : In regard to States which have entirely united themselves within the Indian Dominion, they stand on a different footing. The Eastern States have combined with the province of Orissa. They are now part of India. The bill will apply to them.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : I can understand it only this way,—Whether they have become part of a province or not if they are parts of a province, the Bill will apply. It is not necessary that a copy of the Gazette should be sent to every village and every corner of the country. If the State has become a part of province, it takes all the rights and liabilities of the province. I do not see any reason why the Bill should be once again circulated. Therefore I rule admenment No. 7 is out of order. No. 8 is also out of order. No. 9, does Mr. Bhargava move ?
Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava : I have already said that I do not propose to move.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Then the next amendment. Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad.
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : Sir, I beg to move as an alternative to the one which I have already moved:
“That the Bill be re-committed to the same Select Committee, to which it was sent, for a further report thereon with reference to the original Bill which was referred to it on the 9th April, 1948.”
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Amendment moved :
“That the Bill be re-committed to the same Select Committee to which it was sent for a further report thereon which reference to the original Bill which was referred to it on the 9th April 1948.”
