324 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
of its duties and functions would be incomplete. I therefore move this amendment and commend it for the acceptance of the House.
Mr. Chairman: I wish to know whether any other amendment is going to be moved.
Shri J. R. Kapoor: I beg to move :
After part (c) of clause 3, insert new part:
“ (d) to do any other thing in furtherance of the objects of the Trust ”.
So that, there will be one more object added to it, not of any specific nature but merely of a general nature so that the trust may not feel handicapped at any time in regard to anything that it may like to do. I am sure this will be readily acceptable to the hon. Minister in charge of the Bill. Such a clause is almost invariably to be found in other similar enactments.
Mr. Chairman: The wording of the amendment is selfexplanatory and I do not think any further speech on it is necessary.
Sardar B. S. Man: I beg to move:
After part (a) of clause 3, insert new part and reletter subsequent parts accordingly:
“(b) to start educational, social or such other public institutions, or to create funds or scholarships for the benefit of the public generally, or for those or their dependants, who were killed or wounded on the 13th day of April 1919 at the site, or for such other people who served, died or were permanently disabled in the national cause. ”
The objects of the Trust as given in the Bill are merely, “ to erect and maintain suitable buildings, structures and parks at or near the site of the Jallianwala Bagh in the city of Amritsar ……….. etc.” I feel that by the acceptance of this amendment it will be enlarging to scope and making it more a living memoral to the memory of those who have departed.
Mr. Chairman: May I know whether any of the amendments are acceptable to the Hon. Minister?
Dr. Ambedkar: I do not think I can accept any of them. Perhaps a word might be necessary as to why I do not accept them.
