Sir, I beg to submit that my amendment is quite in order under this article, because this article speaks of the religious rights of the citizens, and personal law is based upon religion. I have made it quite clear on a previous occasion that personal law is part of the religion of the people who are observing that personal law. I only want to make it clear that this article shall not preclude people from observing their personal law. I am putting it in a negative form, because here, the article says “Nothing in this article shall affect the operation of any existing law or preclude the State from making any law–a. regulating or restricting any economic, financial, political or other secular activity which may be associated with religious practice;”
