Constituent Assembly Debates. Official Report Tuesday 7th December 1948

1948

I fear that if this article is not deleted from the Constitution the majority of capitalists -and Zamindars will try to donate their property for the advancement of religion and posing as the champions of religion would continue to perpetrate highhandedness in the name of religion. [...] But if the.puptls or their parents want that religious instruction should be given in the institutions in their own religion then it is not going against the secular nature of the State and the State will not be violatin tit: neutrality which it has avowedly taken in the matter of religion. [...] Vice-President Sir I beg to move: That at the end of the proviso to clause (1) of article 22 the following be inserted : 'and the income from which trust or endowment is sufficient to defray the entire expend-ture of such institution.' " The proviso as amended would read:— that nothing( in this clause shall apply to an educational institution which is.administered by the State but has been [...] building and furniture; then divest himself of the care and responsibility of managing that institution hand it over to the State earn cheap immortality and the title of being a munificient donor and then ask the State to carry on the institution and also to provide Religious 'Instruction therein negativing the principle on which the clause to which this is a proviso was founded. [...] The omission of the words "by the State" under an amenment just moved by the Chairman of the Drafting Committee would if adopted—and I suppose it will be adopted—make the position still more coplicated unless it be that by a consequential amendment the authorities themselves would see that the words "by the State" here are also omitted."DRAFT.coNsTiTufrroN 873 Whether or not these words
