PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 665
Shri Kamath: I protest ..............
Mr. Deputy Speaker: For the day the hon. Member will not enter the House. I do not want to turn out any hon. Member but there must be some sense of decency and decorum in this House. He must submit to the ruling of the Chair, submit to the majority view. Ultimately it is the Chair that reflects the majority view. It also has the right to rule what is a point of order. In spite of that the hon. Member goes on stating that he must control the rest of the House. I do not know if the House will put up with that. It is not my intention to castigate any Member.
Shri Kamath: Dr. Deshmukh never withdrew the amendment.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: He did not press it. I come to the conclusion rightly or wrongly that this motion is not before the House. Is it not final ?
Shri Kamath: By that Dr. Deshmukh means that he does not wish to press it to the vote of the House.
Dr. Deshmukh: I do not want to go back on anything that has happened but in many cases there has been discussion although the motion has not been formally put and even after two or three speeches, the motion has not been put. There have been precedents like that.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: I have been suggesting to hon. Members that if any hon. Member is insistent upon his amendment being put to the House and heard by the House, let him have the courage of moving it and insisting on it being heard by the House. But if he does not want me to put it to the House, he cannot compel the Chair to allow discussion on that.
Pandit Thakurdas Bhargava: No amendment which is not asked to be put to the House has a claim to be discussed in the House.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: I will now proceed
