Parliamentary Debates Parliament of India Wednesday 14th February 1951 Part II - Proceedings other than Questions and Answers Official Report

1951

Sitting in the Chair, just as I am bound to extend the liberty of speech to every one who wishes to speak, I am also bound to see that there is no tyranny of the few, who want to make long speeches over the large majority of people who feel a surfeit of the speeches. [...] Their methods and the means by which they want to bring about a change in the :atmosphere and in the environment in tour country is repugnant to the glori- ous traditions ,and temperament of our people, to the genius of the people, and to the culture and civilisation of which we can boast. [...] They have not only lost the sympathy of the Government 'but also the sympathy and the confidence of the people. [...] DEPUTY-SPEAKER in the Chair] The- very fact that our Government does not want to extend the period of operation of this Bill beyond a year, is a proof of the fact that they are sincere in their intention to safeguard the liberties of the people. [...] May be the whole Government is responsible for the application of the Act and if the application of the Act has worked some injustice, it is for examination.
