970 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES

have a connected picture—and so there is no harm if there is a repetition or if it is moved once again so as to focus attention.

Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava : In that case in the February session I moved an amendment and also made a speech on it. Is it necessary for me to move it again ?

Mr. Deputy Speaker : It is not necessary.

Dr. Ambedkar : No, we know them.

Shri R. K. Chaudhari: May I draw your attention to amendment No,

123 ? This stands in the name of Shri Jhunjhunwala who was here just now. But he asked me to bring this to your notice because he has gone outside the House owing to an urgent call. So he will come and move it.

Mr. Deputy Speaker : Let him come. After he comes he can move it.

Shrimati Renuka Ray : You were kind enough to say this morning that amendments where the subject-matter is the same should be moved together. I want to ask whether you are allowing such amendments which were moved and on which speeches were made for three days, to be moved once again.

Mr. Deputy Speaker : They are pending.

Shrimati Renuka Ray: Certain amendments were moved and speeches made on them in the February session for three or four days. I want to know whether those are to be repeated now.

Mr. Deputy Speaker : What I propose to do is this. If any particular Member who has already moved his amendments wants to draw attention to them. He can indicate those amendments. I will make a note, the office also has a note. So that when the time comes I will put them. In so far as speeches have already been made I shall take care to see that there is no repetition of them. That is all that I can say.

Shri Kamath : But discussion on those amendments is not barred. Does it mean that all those amendments have been disposed of ?

Mr. Deputy Speaker : No. All the amendments are under discussion. No amendment has been disposed of.

Shri Naziruddin Ahmad : There is bound to be a certain amount of repetition because the House has meanwhile forgotten everything.

Mr. Deputy Speaker : The hon. Member knows how helpless I have become even if repititions are made. Therefore, I suggest to myself mat I should be a little more careful.

Dr. Tek Chand (Punjab) : I beg to move :
