If article 25 is passed today, then we are accepting the provisions of article 280 because clause (4) of article 25 says that “the rights guaranteed by this article shall not be suspended except otherwise provided for by this Constitution.” We have very serious objections to the passing of article 280. The emergency Provisions contained in articles 275 to 280 are of an extraordinary nature and some of them militate against the fundamental principles of federalism and do not find any parallel in any world constitutions and there are several amendments to be moved to articles 275 to 280. So by acceptance of this article, we will be accepting the provisions of article 275 to 280. Moreover, this article says “as otherwise provided for by this Constitution.” This article cannot be considered at all unless the provisions in articles 275 to 280 are taken into consideration. Therefore, my submission is that before articles 275 to 280 are passed, we are incompetent to consider the provisions of article 25.
