Sir, I support the original motion but there should not be any discrimination on the ground of political creed. The whole idea of these clauses is that discrimination should not be exercised by the State or by other public bodies in respect of religion, caste etc. In the unnatural circumstances of today in India, religious, communal, caste and similar distinctions loom large. But when things have settled down political differences are sure to come to the forefront and there may be a tendency on the part of the State or public bodies to discriminate against members of political parties on the basis of difference in political creeds. In every country in the world you will find that measures are taken generally to obviate this kind of discrimination on the ground of political creed or party. Therefore I want to move:
“That in sub-clause (1) of clause 4, after the words ‘grounds of’, the words ‘political creed’ be inserted.” Similarly, I beg to move: “That in sub-clause 2 of clause 4, after the word ‘caste’ the word ‘creed be inserted.” I support also Mr. Kamath’s amendment to the same sub-clauses of clause 4.
