The numbering of the clauses will have to be altered. As the same idea is repeated in amendment No. 208 I am repeating it. The next amendment of mine in the Printed List is No. 227. As it is included in the new amendment I have given notice of, I do not read it just now. My next amendment is No. 231. As it relates to a new article, I do not propose also to read it just now. Then I move :
“That in amendment No. 1 above, in the proposed article 5 -(i) after the figure ‘5’ the brackets and figure ‘(1)’ be inserted;
‘(ii) before the Explanation, the following proviso be added:-
‘Provided further that the nationality by birth of any citizen of India shall not be affected in any other country whose Municipal Law permits the local citizenship of that country being acquired without prejudice to the nationality by birth of any of the citizens; and Provided that where under the Municipal Law no citizen is compelled either to renounce his nationality by birth before acquiring the citizenship of that country, or where under the Municipal Law nationality by birth of any citizen does not cease automatically on the acquisition of the citizenship of that country.’;
(iii) after the Explanation, the following new clause be added:-
‘(2) Subject to this Constitution, Parliament shall regulate by law the grant or acquirement of the citizenship of India.’ “
