32. Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial Bill - Page 342

PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 325

With regard to Mr. Kamath’s amendment the addition of the word “administer” is unnecessary. Every trust carries with it the power of the trustees to administer whatever they receive and raise.

With regard to Mr. Kapoor’s amendment “ to do any other thing in furtherance of the objects of the Trust”, that again is unnecessary. When the objects are stated it carries with it the implied power to do anything in furtherance of these objects.

With regard to Sardar Man’s amendment, I think it is agreed that this body of trustees should not convert themselves into a social service league. Their purpose should merely be to maintain this national monument.

Shri Kamath: May I not ask whether the word “receive” also is unnecessary ? Whatever is raised must be received by the Trust. Therefore “received” may be deleted.

Dr. Ambedkar: That may be so, but I think “administer” is quite superfluous.

Mr. Chairman: I would like to know whether hon. Members are pressing their amendments.

Sardar B. S . Man: I am not pressing my amendment.

Shri J. R. Kapoor: No.

Shri Kamath: Well, it may go.

Mr. Chairman: Does he want it to be put or not put?

Shri Kamath: It need not be put.

Mr. Chairman: The question is:

“ That clause 3 stand part of the Bill.”

The motion was adopted.

Clause 3 was added to the Bill.

Clause 4.—( Trustees etc. )

Shri Sidhva (Madhya Pradesh) : I have an amendment.

Mr. Chairman: Is Dr. Ambedkar going to move any amendment ?
