SHIR L.K. ADVANI: Shri Shivraj Patil has raised an issue which directly relates to Lakshadweep. But you are aware that today, the classification of people, which includes Tribes or Scheduled Castes, varies from State to State and, very often, it happens that a community which is described as a Scheduled Caste in one State is not a Scheduled Caste in another State or a Scheduled Tribe in one State is an OBC in another State. These things happen.

Last year, when I went to Lakshadweep, it was then I discovered that they have this problem that if a child is born in a hospital in Cochin or Ernakulam, then he is not recognised as a tribal. I felt that this needs to be corrected. This has been going on for so many years. I thought that it must be corrected. Therefore, this was undertaken. Then, it has been pointed out again that there are other problems that arise from that, though this is a welcome step. When your slip came, I was asking whether the Law Minister is still here or not. If he were here, I would have certainly consulted him and given a final reply. Otherwise, on this point, I can only say that I will examine the problems that you have raised. But so far as we are concerned, we are committed to seeing that a child who is born on the mainland in Cochin, Ernakulam or Trivandrum, on that account, he does not lose his tribal character.

MR. SPEAKER: It seems the House does not want a reply from the Minister. This was a special arrangement made that the hon. Minister will give the reply to the House. If Members do not want to listen to the hon. Minister, he will conclude his speech. Let him speak. Why do you not allow him to speak?

SHRI L.K. ADVANI: These are the limitations of the Constitution and the parliamentary practice. This has been the general practice always that अगर किसी स्टेट के लॉ र्एेड आर्डर से संबंधित कोई सवाल है तो हम वहां से जानकारी प्राप्त करके, जो जानकारी स्टेट देता है उसे हम ज्यों की यों देते हैं द्भ चाहे बिहार की सरकार, पश्चिम बंगाल या हरियाणा की सरकार हो।…( व्यवधान)

SHRI L.K. ADVANI: I am not pleading helplessness. In fact, in all the meetings of DGPs, Chief Secretaries and sometimes in the meetings of even the Home Ministers, this issue of limitation of the Central Government was raised. It is because of these limitations, though the Central Government would like to act on some issues, it does not have the authority to act under the present Constitution.
