Sir, one point which largely influenced this House in accepting the Article which provided for having nominated Governors was that the Honourable Dr.Ambedkar was pleased to assure us that the Governor would be merely a symbol. I ask the honourable Dr. Ambedkar now, whether any person who has the right to act in his discretion can be said to be a mere symbol. I am told that this provision for nominated governorship was made on the model of the British Constitution. I would like to ask Dr. Ambedkar if His Majesty the King of England acts in his discretions in any matter. I am told–I may perhaps be wrong–that His Majesty has no discretion even in the matter of the selection of his bride. That is always done for him by the Prime Minister of England.
