PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 973
Shri C. P. Parikh (Bombay) : The hon. Member made an incorrect statement when he said that Shri Morarji said at any time categorically that Bombay belongs to Maharashstra. I think the hon. Member should make such statement with a sense of responsibility.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: It is in the ‘Times of India’.
*LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO DR. B. R. AMBEDKAR
Mr. Deputy Chairman: I have to inform the hon. Members that the following letter has been received from Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
“I came to Bombay for treatment and had hoped to be able to return to Delhi in time. Unfortunately, I have not recovered. I am therefores, unable to attend and apply to you for leave of absence. I hope the Rajya Sabha will grant my request.”
Is it the pleasure of the House that permission be granted to Dr. B. R. Ambedkar for remaining absent from meetings of the House from 29th March 1955, till the end of the Ninth Session and from all meetings of the House during the current Session ?
( No hon. Member dissented. )
Permission to remain absent is granted.
