Mr. President, Sir, I rise to complement this House on the fruition of its three years’ labour and the emergence of the country’s constitution in its present final shape. The country should be rightly grateful to its great leaders, eminent jurists, legal luminaries, linguists, grammarians, and men of letters who have all toiled incessantly and worked vigilantly in presenting to their mother land what they in their wisdom and honesty have thought and felt to be best in the interests of the millions of men, women and children who inhabit this great subcontinent and in whom sovereignty and ultimate mastery over the affairs of the country henceforward vests.
