It has been even told that once a statute is passed by parliament or a legislature and it is placed in the hands of the lawyers who are to interpret it before courts, the intention of the statute, the purpose with which it is passed, is completely forgotten, and in relation to interpretation you find something else interpreted and decided by the courts, other than what has been ought to be passed by parliament, or a legislature. Being a clever lawyer he has given an interpretation in relation to the prerogative of the president or the head of the state and the powers that would exist in relation to the president. Therefore, the concept is divided into prerogatives on the one side and the powers on the other side. Mr. Vice-Chairman, in connection with this controversy, I may mention that I am one of those persons who feel that the present context of conditions in the country is not suitable for the purpose of discussion a constitution Bill, which should be given necessary throught in a very calm atmosphere, and the democratic norms, which are held very high in our mind, should be the guiding principles. At the present moment, when the very democratic dams ideals are being attacked and claim atmoshphere. I could have, without the least hesitation, said that probably the amendment was uncalled for. But having listened to these two speeches, irrespective of the merits to be considered, there seems to be some controversy or at least some difference of opinion in interpreting a particular statute. It has been the opinion expressed by various jurists not only in this country but outside also. If I had not listend to the speeches, I have been of the opinion having read some of the commentaries about the British. What I should like to see is the incorporation of a large number of provisions of the defence of India Act in the Constitutional powers which the Union Governemnt enjoys at present, particularly those powers relating to the economic life of the community. This discussion on the calling attention motion for textile industry has covered the whole gamut of the industry from the grower of cotton to all other sectors. Honourable members have covered the whole fielf and given a number of suggestions. Madam, textiles is a very important industry in our country and it gives employment and work to millions and millions of people in the villages, in the towns, in the rural areas and in the cities. Government is fully aware of its importance in our national life from the economic, social and every other point of view.
