Constituent Assembly Debates. Official Report Friday 31st December 1948

1948

The real effect of the President being a constitutional President would be that the Ministry or a Minister may advise the President to do anything which is not constitutional and the °fleet of the words which I seek to delete would be that a clearly unconstitutional act or which may amount even to a deliberate open violation of the Constitution would not be open to question. [...] I want to say I am only appealing to the House that in considering the validity or the propriety of this amendment the fact that the Mover is a Muslim should not be taken into consideration. [...] Tahir: Sir I beg to move: -Thal for clause (5) of article 62 the following be substituted : (5) A minister shall at the time of his appointment as such be a member of the Parliament.' " Lciore i suinnit a few words regarding my amendment I would draw the attention of the House to the existing c ause of the article. [...] It cannot be imagined that out or a total of :300 or 100 members of the Parliament the President or the Leader of the party kill not be to find out a suitable person to be taken into the ministry and he forced to choose a minister who is not a member of tits.ParFallient. [...] that it goes against the spirit of demcracy; rather it cuts at the very root of democracy not to choose a minister from out of the members of the Parliament chosen by the people of the country.
