Mr. President, Sir, I rise to give my whole-hearted support to the Motion which was moved by our Honourable friend Mrs.PurnimaBanerji. It is not the personality of the Mover which has promoted me to do so but I think, Sir, taking the two motions side by side, the motion which was moved by Mrs.Banerji would take us nearer to the goal of our ideal of secular education. My Honourable friend, Mrs.Renuka Ray, has made an earnest appeal to the Honourable Sardar Patel and I am sure he is not relishing the position of having to choose between either of the two amendments but, as is well known, he is capable of surmounting any difficulties and I am sure he will get over this difficulty and give regard to the appeal of Mrs.Renuka Ray and also accept the motion made by Mrs.Banerji.
