786 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
have been asked and they do not press them. As regards the others that have tabled similar motions they were not present when they were called upon to move. That is the position. Now the debate is being adjourned. It is not possible to bind all people for all time. If the circumstances arise we shall then meet them.
Shri Tyagi : Only such persons who have moved . . . .
Mr. Speaker : Unfortunately the hon. Member does not seem to have followed the discussion. No motion has been placed before the House by me. Unless I place a motion before the House there is no occasion for putting it to the vote of the House or even to withdraw it.
Shri Tyagi : There is no moral obligation then ?
Mr. Speaker : The moral obligation is there.
Shri Tyagi : I would rather prefer to be immoral.
Shrimati Durgabai : These motions were moved but not pressed.
Mr. Speaker : These motions are not moved at all. I have not placed them before the House.
Shrimati Durgabai : The hon. Member moved and then did not press his motion.
Mr. Speaker : What difference does it make ? If he moves the motion and it is voted against, does it mean that no such motion can ever be brought again ?
Shri Tyagi : Today only we are morally bound.
Mr. Speaker : It is a moral binding for all time. Let there be no further discussion. We shall proceed to the next item of business.
Shrimati Renuka Ray (West Bengal) : rose —
Mr. Speaker : The matter is closed and there can be no further discussion.
