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 The amendments were, by leave, withdrawn. *P. D., Vol. 13, Part II, 9th June 1951, pp.15568-77.
