Sir, I wish to move amendments Nos. 237, 236 and 234 in the Consolidated List up to the 10th July 1949.
I beg to move :

‘Provided that the members of the scheduled tribes in Assam will not have the right to contest general seats.'”
“That in amendment No. 225, above, after clause (2) of the proposed article 292, the following new clause be added :
‘(3) The reservation of seats shall, as far as possible, be secured by single member territorial constituencies.'”

‘Provided that for the calculation the balance of the proportion is more than half of what it requires to obtain one seat, one seat shall be allotted and if it is less than half it shall be ignored.’“
