Mr. President, the first part of Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad’s point is really reasonable, that is to say the amendments reach us the previous night, say, at 9 o’clock or 10 o’clock and when amendments to an amendment are to be sent, it is more difficult for us, as we meet at 8 o’clock in the following morning. From that point of view, his argument, that some time should be given, is justified. I did not follow him about the adjournment of the House and I am not in favour of the adjournment of the House.I would however suggest that when these amendments come in you should give us one day more, that is to say, the discussion on those important amendments should be taken on the day after and not on the following day, so that if we have to send amendments to amendments, we can do so. That is the only solution and that will enable Members to send amendments in time. I am, however, not in favour of the adjournment of the House; we must continue to sit and finish the Constitution. That is my point, Sir.
