Legislative Assembly Debates Saturday 3rd December 1932

of the Montague reforms there has been growing hunger for greater reforms and that hunger finds expression in the Indian Press and I will not be a party to granting the Government any power to work the Ordinances in the country with the sanction of the Legislature until the new reforms come into operation and therefore I oppose this motion. [...] My Honourable colleague the Honic Member has made it perfectly clear in the course of this debate that the intention of Government is to hand over the weapons to persons who will he runninthe new constitution and We do not want to handicap them at the start of worl;ing the new constitution by the ahsenee of these powers. [...] K. P. Thampan: Sir I beg to move : "That words (4) of clause 1 of the Bill after the words 'Local Government may' the words on the recommendation of the Legislative Council of the Province' be inserted." The object is quite obvious. [...] President (The Honourable Sir Ibrahim Rallimtoola): The question that I have to put is: "That in sub-clause (4) of clause 1 of the Bill after the words 'Local Government may' the words 'on the recommendation of the Legislative Council of the Province' be inserted." - The motion was negatived. [...] The Government ruled with these laws under the Ordinances and the severity of that rule has penetrated the busy cottage the cultivated field and the industrial houses and even invaded the seclusion of the zenana.
