DR. AMBEDKAR AND THE HINDU CODE BILL 489
Mr. Deputy Speaker : You ought not to talk. No honourable Member has the right to talk while another honourable Member is speaking. He ought to listen and not cause noise in the House.
Shri B. Das : You understand the exasperation. I am ready to get out, but the honourable Member’s speech should not exasperate Members of this House.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : This is wrong. No honourable Member’s speech ought to be called exasperating, unless he uses bad language or unparliamentary language. We may or may not agree, but the honourable Member is putting his case before the House. Nobody has a right to dub an honourable Member’s speech as exasperating.
Shri B. Das : I accept your verdict. But he used terms such as “fraudulent” about the Law Minister.

Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : I beg to submit that the honourable Members should compare the original clause.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Are there any matters of substance by which the honourable Member can induce the House to change its mind ?
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : There are substantial changes. I shall have to point out these things. In fact, I shall have to go on enumerating a large number. The best thing is to admit the mistakes or listen patiently. I must enumerate all the points and if I repeat my argument or be irrelevant, I can be called to order. In Part II, clause 5, there is Class I. Sons, widows, daughters and so forth. A change has been effected in this by the Departmental Committee. Son of a predeceased son of predeceased son has been newly introduced in the corresponding part of Class I in the 7th Schedule in the Department Bill. In fact, the Schedule has been so far removed from its place in the original Bill that it is not easy to notice it unless the two Classes are placed side by side, to find out the change. In act, the son of a predeceased son of a predeceased son did not find a place in the original, but it has been introduced in the Seventh Schedule of the revised Bill by the Departmental Committee.
Then we come in the other lists. The first in the list in the original Bill after the enumerated heirs in item No. 2 is daughter’s son. In the Departmental Bill, the daughter’s son has been brought further down. Then comes the father and the mother. According to the original
