The second part of my amendment is, for defining untouchability, it may be clearly stated that.
“Untouchability’ means any act committed in exercise of discrimination on, grounds of religion, caste or lawful vocation of life mentioned in clause 4.”
Sir, in the fundamental rights, it has been laid down that untouchability in any form should be an offence punishable by law. That being so it is necessary that the offence should be properly defined. As it stands, the word ‘untouchability’ is very vague. It should be defined in the manner in which I have put it, or in some other better form. which may be decided upon by the House.
