1128 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Shri J. R. Kapoor : With regard to what has fallen from you, Sir, about the admissibility of the amendment seeking to enlarge the applicability, may I submit that even at an earlier stage this point was taken up and then we were assured by the hon. Speaker that before any ruling was given on that point we would be given an opportunity to have our say on the matter. It might be the Chair’s first impression that it may not perhaps be within the scope, but you will please permit us to have a say to convince you how easily it comes within the scope. If that be your ruling I may submit many of the amendments of my hon. friend, Dr. Ambedkar would also have to be declared out of scope.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Dr. Ambedkar himself to be ruled out of this House?
Shri J. R. Kapoor : Not he, some of his amendments; because they are very much on the same lines as this amendment.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : One wrong amendment does not make another amendment good. If any of the hon. Law Minister’s amendments also enlarges the scope it is out of order—we will consider that matter.
Pandit Malaviya : I have another amendment of which I have given notice—a short amendment which I shall move tomorrow at the end of my speech.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Provided, it is an absolutely formal amendment.
Pandit Malaviya : I gave notice of it day before yesterday.
Khwaja Inait Ullah: I will not take more than a few minutes.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: No, Sir.
Shri R. K. Chaudhuri: What about my point, Sir?
Mr. Deputy Speaker : The hon. Member has got the ‘Ayes’ lobby and the ‘Noes’ lobby. He can vote against the clause if he likes.
It is now too late for us to embark upon the half-an-hour discussion. It will be taken up on some other day.
The House then adjourned till Half Past Eight of the Clock on Thursday, the 20th September, 1951.
