142 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Shri Tyagi (Uttar Pradesh) : I have not been accommodated. I agree with the amendments, but my points have not been accommodated and my amendment has not been accepted. Therefore, it was not ‘unanimous’.
Mr. Speaker : Whatever the reasons, the conclusion seems to be unanimous. I shall put the conisderation motion to the House and then we can take the Bill clause by clause. I must congratulate the Members on the very happy end that has been brought about. The question is :
“That the Bill to provide for the allocation of seats in, and the delimitation of constituencies for the purpose of elections to, the House of the People and the Legislatures of States, the qualifications of voters at such elections, the preparation of electoral rolls, and matters connected therewith, be taken into consideration.”
The motion was adopted.
Mr. Speaker : We may now proceed with the Bill clause by clause.
Dr. Ambedkar : There is an amendment to clause 13 and I would therefore like that clause to be held over because the amendment is being typed.
Mr. Speaker : All right, I take it generally that the previous amendments tabled by hon. Members are all scrapped.
- Dr. Tek Chand (Punjab) : Unfortunately we have not seen the wording of the amendments in respect of what we decided in the morning. There was only a general talk. And with regard to some of the clauses, for instance with regard to clause 6, there is still a great deal of controversy and there is no unanimity.
Dr. Ambedkar : There is no controversy.
Mr. Speaker : I do not at all want to exclude any amendment tabled. I was trying to clarify the position so that if there are no amendments I shall take those clauses together.
Dr. Tek Chand : What are the new amendments ? Let us see them. Nobody has seen them. Without seeing them how can we pass them?
