Mr. President: We will now pass on to article 90, Amendment No. 215.

Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad: I wish to move amendment No. 214.

Mr. President: That does not really arise.

Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad: Sir, I am not moving amendment No. 214. I want merely to explain an anomaly. I only wish to point out that the word 'the' has been misused in a large number of cases. In many cases where we speak of the Deputy Chairman, the Chairman or the Speaker and so on, we have not uniformly used the word 'the'. I have tabled amendments to make them uniform. That may be taken into account.

Mr. President: Article No. 154, Mr. Kamath.

Shri H. V. Kamath: Sir, these amendments are identical with the amendments moved earlier in the morning and I leave them along with the morning ones for the consideration of the Drafting Committee.

Mr. President: So, I,take both 320 and 321 as not moved. Then article 162. amendment No. 324 is a similar amendment. Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad: Yes, Sir.

Mr. President: Then amendments Nos. 328 and 329, Mr. Kamath-article 164. Amendment No. 328 does not arise. Mr. Kamath You may move amendment No. 329.

Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava : Sir, I am not moving my amendment No. 355 to article 224.

Shri H. V. Kamath : I have already moved an amendment similar to amendment No. 356 I am not, therefore, moving amendment No. 356.

Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava : I am not moving amendment No. 377. I wish to move amendment No. 383 to article 302. I beg to move:

"That in article 302, for the words 'as may be required in the public interest' the words 'as may be required in the general public interest' be substituted."

Mr. President : There is no amendment for 335.

Dr. P. S. Deshmukh: I have given an amendment to that effect somewhat late. I was away from home and I was not able to table it in time but as soon as I got it, I sent the amendment in. I would beg of you that this amendment of mine may be permitted. It is No. 530. I have said "that in article 335 after the word 'members, the words backward classes' be inserted."

Shri H. J. Khandekar (C.P. & Berar: General): Mr. president, Sir, I stand here to oppose the amendment moved by my Friend, Mr. Thakur Das Bhargava. The draft that has been put forward by the Drafting Committee is with certain reasons. Because this House has adopted article 335 last time as article 296 and in order to give effect to that article, this article 324 has been submitted to the House.. According to article 335 the seats have been reserved for members of the Scheduled Castes in services and posts, but that article does not give power to the Public Service Commission -or the Federal Public Service Commission We had to bring that article into effect and for this purpose this amendment has been moved by the Drafting Committee and then only the F.P.S.C or P.S.C. of the States will Consider the claims of the Scheduled Caste. I am very sorry to say that such amendments as have been moved by Shri Bhargava regarding the Scheduled Castes are being moved at this stage to bury down the Harijans. There are certain people in the country from the caste Hindus-I am not of course criticising them-but I would like to tell certain facts that they do not want to give facilities to us Certain members of the Hindu society will only be satisfied when the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are buried. I think, Sir, these amendments are brought with these motives. I, therefore, feel very sorry and pity for such caste Hindu friends. With these words, I oppose the amendment moved by my Friend, Mr. Bhargava.
