PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 165
Dr. Ambedkar: It is not only being correct but very considerate.
Syed Nausherali: What about the Union Boards ?
Dr. Ambedkar: I quite see that the opinion of the Bengal Government and the view expressed by my two hon. friends today seem to differ. Some say the local board entry which has been suggested by the West Bengal Government should be retained and my two friends stated that it ought to be deleted and the entry of Union Boards should be there.
Syed Nausherali: Both may be there.
Dr. Ambedkar: I shall have to make some enquiries on this point. If I find that it is necessary to make a change it would not be difficult to bring in a small amendment to make the change. For the moment I must act upon advice which I think is reliable.
Shri J. R. Kapoor: What are the special reasons for increasing the number of seats of Bombay State from 66 to 72, when the next divisible number by 12 is 60.
Dr. Ambedkar: It is not a very wide difference. There is nothing sacred about one number or the other. All I want is divisibility by 12.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Bombay is a composite Province consisting of Gujaratis, Marathis and Karnataks.
( The First, Second, Third and Fourth Schedules as amended were added to the Bill. )
Clause 1 was added to the Bill.
( The motion moved by Dr. Ambedkar was adopted).
