816 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Pandit Kunzru : Our privileges being those of the British House of Commons, and as the British House of Commons does not meet on Sundays, we have every right not to meet on a Sunday.
Shri Jawaharlal Nehru: The House of Commons, on the other hand, meets on the Mohurrum day.
Pandit Kunzru : If the hon. the Leader of the House has the courage to make that suggestion, let us meet on Mohurrum day.
Shri Jawaharlal Nehru : I am going to show the courage by asking the Ho use to meet on Sunday.
Pandit Kunzru: That is against our privileges.
Shri Kamath: May I suggest that instead of meeting on Sunday we might observe Mohurrum festival by meeting and working harder in the service of the nation, just as we did on the occasion of Vinayaka Chaturthi and Anant Chaturdasi ?
Mr. Deputy Speaker: We need not have a discussion on this matter. Tomorrow will be a working day. Though the 12th was originally notified as a holiday, Parliament will meet tomorrow. The holiday will be transferred to a day after tomorrow.
There is so much of work put down on the order paper, and if the Government wants to continue the work, certainly we can sit on Monday and Tuesday also.
So far as Sunday is concerned, normally I am against sitting on Sundays. But we will consider that matter according to the nature of the work, later on.
The House will now proceed with the Industries Bill. .
Dr. Ambedkar : rose —
Mr. Deputy Speaker: The hon. Minister might make his statement in the afternoon.
Dr. Ambedkar: After this Bill ?
