*Babu Ramnarayan Singh (Bihar) : (English translation of the Hindi speech). Sir, today you have given me quite early the opportunity to speak on this dangerous subject and for this I thank you. Yesterday and the day before I tried to catch your eye several times and important as the subject was, I failed to get an opportunity to speak. May I make an observation in this connection that there is no doubt that you do full justice in your position about which nobody should have any misgiving……..
Shri Syamnandan Sahaya (Bihar) : Nor anybody has.
Babu Ramnarayan Singh : And, indeed, nobody has, But you have to give your rulings with an even hand. Yesterday you were pleased to say that there was some feeling prevalent against you and you wanted that no such feelings be created so that there may be general satisfaction about the working. It is but meet Sir, that thing should be done judiciously. But if somebody worries with the thought that people should regard him infallible on all occasions, he is likely to commit some mistakes. Therefore, I beg of you to do your part justly as you have been doing so far. You should not labour under the apprehension that people might think that you are not doing things rightly.
Shri Jangde (Madhya Pradesh) : Please come to the subject.
Babu Ramnarayan Singh: I should also like to say one thing more. When I stood to speak, you in spite of the fact that no Member had expressed that desire declared that sufficient discussion had taken place on the subject and that the question be now put to decide upon the matter. However, I should draw your attention to the fact that the matter is very important.
