616 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Dr. Ambedkar: No. it is not necessary.
Mr. Chairman: Am I to understand that the hon. Mover does not want to move his amendment in view of the assurance given that the Hon. Minister will refer the matter to the Government ?
Shri S. N. Das: In view of the assurance given by the Law Minister, I want to know whether I might be permitted to move my amendment.
Mr. Chairman: There is no question of being allowed. He is at perfect liberty to move it. I only suggested to him whether, when the Hon. Minister has given an assurance, it is desirable to move it.
Shri S. N. Das: It may be held over.
Mr. Chairman : There is no question of being held over. The reply will not come from the Government within such a short time. Either he should move it or not move it.
Shri S. N . Das: In view of the assurance given I do not want to move it.
- Mr. Chairman: Then there is another amendment No.
385 in the printed list, standing in the name of Mr. Das suggesting new clause 50A.
Shri S. N. Das : ( Hindi translation of Hindi Speech ) I want to say something on it. I submitted the suggestions because of the fact that in the election campaign propaganda wields great influence………My suggestion is that everybody should be given an equal opportunity so that he may go to the voters to explain to them the objectives for which he stands. Therefore, many candidates would be saved of expenses if railway facility was made available to them. That is the purpose of the suggestion I have put forth for the consideration of the House. If the House deems it proper, it may accept it, if not, it may reject it.
Mr. Chairman: This amendment has not been moved and it has not been placed before the House. I would rather like that the reaction of the Hon. Minister may be known to the House.
