484 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Mr. Tajamul Husain : I must strongly protest against the statement that the Members have lost their heads. I raise this point of order seriously. He must withdraw it unconditionally.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : I think it was not necessary for the honourable Member to say all that.
Mr. Tajamul Husain : Let him withdraw it. Was he in order in making that statement ? He has all along been making violent gestures against honourable Members.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : I do not think it is proper for the honourable Member to say that the Members have lost their heads. It detracts from the dignity of the house. At the time I must say this: I have been noticing one member or other using language which may not be liked by the person addressed. There must be some amount of patience shown. There should not be interruptions either by the spoken word or by signs. Therefore when the honourable Member is turning over the pages of some of his papers, if they interrupt him he will miss it and their interruptions are likely to ginger him up.
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : Sir, I was told across the table that I had lost my head.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : The honourable Member has lost his thread— the thread of his argument.
Mr. Tajamul Husain : May I know whether he has lost his sacred thread ?
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : I will proceed with my arguments, Sir. Clause
2 of the original Bill gives the definition of ‘son’ thus ‘son’ includes a dattaka kritrima or godha son, etc, but not a dasiputra and others. This has been entirely committed in the Departmental Bill.
Shri L. Krishnaswami Bharathi : When an honourable Member reads out something, should he not do so correctly ?
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : I find that this has been omitted. If it is anywhere the definition or in any other part of the Bill, my attention may kindly be drawn to it.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : The honourable Member who just now interrupted the speaker has been again and again giving advice. Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad may be a bit slow in making the references he desires to make. He need not be interrupted.
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : I submit that the definition of ‘son’ has been omitted. If I am wrong, the mistake may be pointed out to me.
