664 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Shri Kamath: Do the Rules of Procedure of the House ..........
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Is there no rule to regulate the hon. Member not to stand in his seat when the Deputy Speaker is standing ?
Shri Kamath : There is a convention that when a Member wishes to be heard, he should be allowed to have his say.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: I am afraid that accusation cannot be levelled against me. I am always erring on the other side. I allow him to speak often. Now the amendment is not before the House. This is my ruling. The hon. Member must have some sense of decency and decorum.
Shri Kamath : I must protest against the use of the word “Decency”.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Protesting is improper.
Shri Kamath: I must protest again.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: This kind of unruly conduct in the House cannot be tolerated. An hon. Member moves a motion and another says that he wants to speak on this. Who is to decide ? Shall I ask the hon. Member to take my place here ? There must be somebody to regulate the proceedings. I come to the conclusion that the House is not seized of this problem as the Hon. Mover does not press it. Till I put it to the House, the matter is not before the House at all. In spite of this the hon. Member Mr. Kamath wishes to speak and speak on what ? He wants to speak on a motion which is not before the House. When I say it is not right, he protests. Therefore it is for the House to regulate the conduct of Members. I am only the spokesman-. It is not right that any Member should take the time of the House and go on protesting against it. I have no objection to ignore what has happened.
Shri Kamath: I would like to protest strongly ..............
Mr. Deputy Speaker : If he protests, then I will ask him to quit the House.
