32. Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial Bill - Page 340

PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 323

Shri J. R. Kapoor (Uttar Pradesh) : ( English translation of the Hindi speech. ) I beg to move:

Dr. Ambedkar: I am afraid, I cannot accept this.

Shri J. R. Kapoor: Then I do not press it.

Mr. Chairman: The question is.

“ That clause 2 stand part of the Bill.”

The motion was adopted.

Clause 2 was added to the Bill.

“ The objects of the Trust shall be—

...(c) to raise and receive funds for the purposes of the Memorial.”

It stands to reason that the Trust shall be formed not only for the purpose of raising and receiving funds but also for the purpose of administering them. Otherwise the enumeration
