Prof. Ranga : Or under the Rules under this Act.
Mr. Speaker : Does the hon. Member want me to put the amendment to the House ?

Shri B. K. Das (West Bengal) : Not moving, Sir.
Shri M. V. Rama Rao (Mysore) : Not moving. Sir.
Mr. Speaker : There are a number of amendments to clause
28 in the Supplementary List No. 1. I think the better course for me would be to put all the amendments of hon. Members that are here and then if any Member is left out, it will be his business to rise up. Amendment No. 76 in Supplementary List No. 1. Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad.
Shri Naziruddin Ahmad : Not moving.
Dr. Ambedkar : This has been disposed of already. This is an amendment which he has been moving all along for the purpose of changing the Chapters.
Mr. Speaker : He is not going to move it.
Shri Hussain Imam : Sir, the Hon. Minister of Parliamentary Affairs himself is standing when the Speaker is on his legs.
