(4) This attitude of the very few Jain members in the Assemblies cannot be taken to be the real and genuine voice of the majority of the Jains in this respect. As religion is a very important and delicate subject, the Central Government alone should have the right to pass, if necessary, any measures in matters affecting the religion of any community instead of leaving such serious subjects to the Provincial Legislatures. We therefore earnestly appeal to you and humbly pray that the Constituent Assembly may be pleased to make necessary provision in this respect while framing the New Constitution for our country, and withdraw the powers made over to the Provincial Legislatures in this behalf.
