404 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
*Dr. Ambedkar: If I may say a word, in view of the fact
that there is such a keen difference of opinion, I am prepared
to suggest that it may be left to the Speaker to treat this
matter as a sort of a nomenclature matter, without touching
the substance. This matter may be kept open. Those Members
who care may approach the Speaker and convince him that
this is a matter of nomenclature and formally they may be put
in without in any way disturbing the areas that are included
in the particular constituencies.
Pandit Maitra: I am afraid we cannot agree to this
because if one single member is keen on having a change
in the nomenclature, another Member may suggest another
thing and
Shri Chattopadhayay: Why are you afraid ?
Dr, M M. Das: That would be inconvenient.
Shri J. R. Kapoor (Uttar Pradesh): The point raised by
Mr. Chattopadhyay is appealing to most of us. We do not want
that at this late stage there should be any substantial change.
The changes that he suggests could easily be made in the
manner suggested by the Law Minister and an overwhelming
majority of the House will, I should say, support that.
Shri S. M. Ghose (West Bengal): How could this Order
be finalised by the Speaker ? My hon. friend has suggested
some nomenclature. Other Members may suggest some other
names. There will be no end to that.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: The Hon. Speaker has to be here.
He has to invite other Members together and ascertain from
them what their wishes are. What about the Order ? Are we
to say that the Order has to be modified to that extent or
not ? Nomenclature is a part of the Order, it is not something
like the marginal notes. I think there will be some difficulty
in the matter. I leave it to the House.
Shri Chattopadhayay: With a heavy heart, Sir, I am
forced to withdraw them.
The amendments were, by leave, withdrawn.
