To the president again or to any authority to be named by him. If it was the intention of the farmers of the constitution that the legislative as well as the executive power should vest in the president himself, then the scheme which was envisaged in section 93 of the government of India act would have been copied in the constitution. The very fact that it has not been done clearly shows that the farmers of the constitution expect parliament to exercise the legislative power and only in exceptional circumstances, should this power be delegated to the president or to any authority to be named by him. This wa, to my mind, the real intention and the real scheme as it is envisaged in the constitution, but what do we find? Whenever there is a proclamation, automatically, this bill is brought and passed by parliament and the powers are vested in the president. Sir, I rise to support the plantations labour (amendment) bill brought up by the government for our consideration. Sir, the sad plight of millions of toiling people who sweat on various plantations in the country to earn valuable foreign exchange for us is really too much to be expressed in words. These workers live and work in most inhuman and pitiable conditions. These plantations include tea, coffee, rubber etc, and as we know, tea alone is one of the major foreign exchange have to live in most miserable conditions. They live in houses that are most insecure and collapse frequently and when these workers die as a result of these collapses, their guardians or their dependants do not get even due compensation for the loss that they have to bear. Unhygienic living in distant and far flungs areas compounded with lack of medical and educational facilities make their life utterly miserable.
