PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 811
Pandit Kunzru: I received no such notice, Sir.
Dr. Ambedkar: I think I did send a message to my hon. friend. My hon. friend sent it to me back with a note that with regard to certain amendments that I was accepting from Mr. Gopinath, he was perfectly prepared to support that amendment.
Pandit Kunzru: I was consulted only with regard to…....
Dr. Ambedkar: He was more interested in the Press Bill…….
Pandit Kunzru: ......suggestions made by the Committee appointed by the Speaker under the Representation of People Act, 1950 so far as the Legislative Council constituencies went and I gave my reply with regard to them.
As regard the other changes if the U.P. Government has informed the Central Government of the reason for proposing them why should my hon. friend Dr. Ambedkar not place those reasons before the House ?
Shri T. N. Singh (Uttar Pradesh) : If I may be permitted as a Member of the Delimitation Committee, to speak. I should like to say that the changes proposed in this notification and as moved by the hon. the Law Minister are not exactly consequential or incidental. I have tried to go carefully into the various changes that are being proposed. Take, for instance, the Benaras District with which I am fully acquainted. I do not know for what reason another pargana, has been added, which means an increase in the number of voters. In regard to Garhwal, I do not know why Chamoli is being shunted about like this.
The Minister of State for Finance (Shri Tyagi): Which one is it ?
Shri T. N. Singh: It is not Dehra Dun: it is Garhwal.
Shri Tyagi: I am equally interested.
