I shall deal with this aspect later on again. The next question that arises is whether there are actions taken by the executive by not interpreting the rules properly or by abusing the rules for the purpose of what they call victimization or discrimination. So far as this question is concerned, some hon. Members have given a few instances in their own way, and my hon. Friend suggested that the facts have been given by him. They are not the facts. They are his coloring of certain happenings. Had the hon. Members given me all the instances, wherever they found them, in which there was any attempt at victimization or discrimination, certainly I would have been in a better position to effectively answere all those points. All the same, may I point out that in this connection we have to be careful? I could have understood the hon. Mover's speech, a vehement speech, before the general elections, when his party was in the happy position of being members of the opposition here or elsewhere. It is not merely a question of opposition but they have also to consider that whatever they say here, whatever action is taken by perhaps the misguided members of their own party will have repercussions of an absolutely undersirable character so far as even that state is concerned. I am afraid I am not in a position, to support the resolution which has been moved by my friend. I am not opposing this resolution because I am unmindful of the large number of abuses that exist in the corporate sector or I am less enthusiastic myself in seeing that these abuses should be removed as early as possible. But the method that he has suggested is so dilatory and the problem before us is so acute that no useful purpose will be served by appointing one more commission. With other countries as may seem best to its governing authority in the interests of the country and its people. National independence is thus an indispensable preliminary for taking all the steps that might be found necessary for carrying out the five year plan in all its various aspects throughout the whole country. At the preset moment, it is clear that not only have we in India no national indepedence, but we are hedged in and obstructed by numerous restrictions, limitations, safeguards and reservations which block the path to planning and progress. There has been some reference to the improvement in our economic situation also. We find that we have made good progress in production. We were faced equally with a difficult situation so far a s cloth was concerned. There was a deficit of food and there was also shortage of cloth. I do remember the scenes that we had to witnesss in several cities where people had to stand it queues for hours together for two meters of very ordinary cloth, but now the situation is quite changed.
