 With what effect? It is idle to think that merely if a man is able to sign his name, he will immediately become such a literate and educated man as to exercise his vote properly; I should say such a qualification is unnecessary. Wisely he has not moved an amendment to that effect. On the other hand it may be necessary in the future years when t...

As regards the suggestion made that at the end of article 15 (a) (i) the words "to consult a legal practitioner of his choice and also be defended in a court of law" be added, I agree with it. In many cases we know--as in the 1942 movement--there was more right to cross--examine witnesses.

It is true that this apparently seems to apply only to cases where a man is sought to be detained beyond three months.

     But it does not mean that you can impose any sort of restriction. It comes under clause (g).

A joint sitting is provided for in Australia. So far as the Centre is concerned, it is a different affair. We have provided for a joint sitting, in the case of the Centre, to resolve the difficulties arising out of difference of opinion between the Lower House and the Upper House, on the lines of the Australian Constitution. So far as the provin...

Yes, Sir, but this is the first time I am speaking on this subject which is uppermost in our minds.

That is the news in the "Hindustan 'Times" yesterday....

Sir, I am extremely disappointed at the speech made by the previous speaker. I though that after having obtained Pakistan my friends in India would change their attitude.

They want to copy that provision.

     There is another difficulty also. The terminal taxes are collected not at every terminal; not always in the same place.

There is no definition of 'Minorities' in the whole of the Draft...

Sir, there are now different disqualifications set out against becoming a member and against continuing to be a member. Both are covered by article 167 (1).

Therefore, let us not waste time by asking for an adjournment. Tomorrow...
