I have with regard to this matter moved three amendments; namely, 220, 221 and 222. The first is merely verbal. I thought that instead of the word “Union” the words “Union Government” would be more appropriate, because Article 1 has defined the Union. Article 1 says that India shall be a Union of States. If we just say “Union” it may vague and it may mean also the various authorities in the Union. Are they required to intervene and to meddle in the affairs of the State in case of internal disturbance or external aggression or to see that the Government of the State is carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution? If Dr. Ambedkar’s wisdom can appreciate this amendment of mine, I would request him to change this word “Union” to “Union Government“. It is almost a verbal amendment and I leave it to their cumulative wisdom, which I am sure, is superior to mine.
