538 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Dr. C. D. Pande : It comes nearly to the same thing.
Dr. Ambedkar: Not at all. It refers to future Members.
Dr. C. D. Pande : Anyhow, when I heard that remark......
Dr. Deshmukh: He has not discovered any of such characters here so far.
Dr. C. D. Pande: I felt with some Members of the House at least that that remark was not a happy one, and the remark if it was appropriate, let me extend the simile further. What he said was that the Members were chorus girls. If we are all chorus girls, then he is the matron of that establishment.
Shri Syamnandan Sahaya (Bihar) : You may be one ; we are not.
Dr. C. D. Pande : He is the matron of that establishment.
Shri R. Velayudhan: Is it not an insinuation Sir?
Shri Rajagopalachari: If we talk again and again about chorus girls perhaps they may object too!
Mr. Deputy Speaker: As a matter of fact, some of the lady Members of this House expressed to me that I ought to have intervened and said that a reference ought not to be made to chorus girls. They are very touchy about these matters now-a-days.
Dr. Ambedkar : I apologise if they have taken it in offence. This is what I said : if we did not do certain things, then what might follow will be like that. I had not the sightest idea to refer to the Members of this House. I was referring to the result that will follow if certain precautions are not taken.
Babu Ramnarayan Singh (Bihar) : You were right.
Dr. C. D. Pande: If he did not mean it, I leave it at that.
The main provisions of this Bill have been throughly discussed by previous speakers and I would touch only a few main points. To me, the most vital point is the use of the national flag in the election campaign in this country in which the Congress takes part wherein the use of the national flag could be avoided or should be avoided. The distinction between the national flag as accepted by Government and as used by the organisation is very slight and people are really confused.
