भाग लिया था। 100 मीटर men’s में olympic qualifying timing 10.16 सेकंड है , जबकि उसने
10.09 सेकंड में इसे complete किया है और women’s में olympic qualifying timing 11.32
सेकंड है , जबकि �ावणी नंदा ने 11.23 सेकंड में इसे complete किया है । महोदय, दु ख की बात
यह है कि power failure के कारण उनका record manually दर्ज किया गया, जबकि अंतर्राष्ट्रीय
स्तर पर सिर्फ electronic record को मान्यता दी जाती है । इसलिए नेशनल रिकॉर्ड बनाने के
बावजूद इन athletes की सारी मे हनत पर पानी फिर गया। सबसे है रत की बात तो यह है कि
स्टेडियम में power back-up की सुविधा होने के बावजूद उसका इस्तेमाल नहीं किया गया। अब
आगे इस event में इन athletes को मौका मिलेगा या नहीं, यह भी sure नहीं है । मौका मिलने
के बाद भी यह गांरटी नहीं है कि ये athletes हमे शा best performance करें गे। एक athlete
की performance बहु त सी बातों, जैसे health, weather, इत्यादि पर निर्भर करती है । इसलिए
यह जो lapse हु आ है , यह एक अपराध है । हर athlete का एक सपना होता है कि वह दे श को
ओलंपिक में represent करे । कितने अफसोस की बात है कि ये दो athletes qualify करने के बाद
भी ओलंपिक के लिए qualify नहीं कर सके। इसमें उनकी क्या गलती है ? इससे पता चलता है
कि हम खे लों को लेकर कितने गम्भीर हैं । महोदय, यह घटना न सिर्फ उन खि‍लाडि़यों का, बल्कि‍
पूरे खे ल जगत का मनोबल तोड़ने वाली और इताशा पैदा करने वाली है । मैं संसद के माध्यम
से सरकार से यह मांग करता हूं कि इस मामले में जांच कराई जाए, इस चूक की जवाबदे ही
तय की जाए और दोषियों पर कार्यवाही की जाए, ताकि आगे ऐसी घटना न हो। थैंक यू सर।

�ी के. सी. त्यागी (बिहार): उपसभापति जी, मैं राष्ट्रीय महत्व के एक �श्न की तरफ
आपका ध्यान आकर्षित कराना चाहता हूं पिछले तीन दिन से शहीदे आज़म भगत सिंह का परिवार
दिल्ली में घर-घर जाकर भगत सिंह को 'आतंकवादी' न कहा जाए, ऐसा कह रहा है । जैसा
कि मानव संसाधन विकास मं �ालय, भारत सरकार के आर्थिक सहयोग से �काशित ''भारत का
स्वतं�ता संघर्ष'' नामक पुस्तक में उल्लेख है और गृह मं �ालय की सूची से भी अभी तक भगत
सिंह को 'आतंकवादी' के रूप में ही लिखा जाता है , पढ़ा जाता है और इसमंे उसका उल्लेख है ।
...(व्यवधान)... इस पुस्तक की दस लाख से ज्यादा �तियां बिक चुकी हैं । उपसभापति जी, पिछले
साल सांसदों के एक �तिनिधि मं डल में मुझे लाहौर जाने का अवसर �ाप्त हु आ था। लाहौर के
शदमन चौक पर भगत सिंह चौक बनाने को लेकर लाहौर के काफी नौजवान स‍ि�य हैं , जबकि
हमारे दे श में यह स्थि‍ति बनी हु ई है कि भगत सिंह और चं�शेखर आज़ाद आतंकवादी गतिविधियों
में संलग्न थे। इसी के साथ-साथ बंगाल के जो मे रे इधर के और उधर के साथी बैठे हैं , वे भी

स्थानों को ऐतिहासिक धरोहर के रूप में सजाकर रखने का काम भी भारत सरकार को करना
चाहिए। यह इसलिए होना चाहिए, क्योंकि यह इतिहास है , जिसको पढ़कर नई पीढि़यां भारत दे श
पर और अपने इतिहास पर गर्व करती हैं । यह मुद्दा दोनों विभागों से जुड़ा हु आ है । यह एचआरडी
और गृह मं �ालय से जुडा हु आ मुद्दा है , इसलिए मैं चाहूं गा कि आप मं �ी महोदय को नंबर एक
तो यह आदे श दें कि गृह मं �ालय की काली सूची से भगत सिंह का नाम निकाला जाए, नंबर 2
दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय के अंदर जो दस लाख किताबें बेची गई हैं , पढ़ाई गई हैं , उनमें भी संशोधन
किया जाए, नंबर 3 भगत सिंह और उनके साथियों ने जिस स्थान से केवल दिखाने के लिए
बम फेंके थे, किसी को मारने के लिए नहीं, उन स्थानों को दे श की धार्मिक धरोहरों के साथ,
ऐतिहासिक धरोहरों के साथ सं�ह करने का काम भारत सरकार करे ।

चौधरी मुनव्वर सलीम (उत्तर �दे श):
''चश्मे सैय्यद निगरां हैं कि फिर उट्ठे शायद

कोई दीवाना अलीगढ़ के बयाबानों से।''
उपसभापति महोदय, मैं एक ऐसे इदारे का दर्द लेकर खड़ा हु आ हूं , जो हिन्दुस्तान की
तारीख भी है और हिन्दुस्तान की तरबीयत का एक बेहतरीन मरकज भी है । मे री मुराद अलीगढ़
मुस्लि‍म यूनिवर्सिटी से है ।
उपसभापति जी, अलीगढ़ मुस्लि‍म यूनिवर्सिटी का ख्वाब मरहू म सर सैयद ने 1877 में दे खा
था, लेकिन उसको वे पूरा नहीं कर सके। 1920 में अलीगढ़ मुस्लि‍म यूनिवर्सिटी एक बिल के जरिए
ि‍�टिश पार्लियामें ट ने बनाई। उस वक्त हिन्दुस्तानी मुसलमानों से 30 लाख रूपये और 5 एकड़
जमीन का मुतालबा था, जबकि हिन्दुस्तानी मुसलमानों ने इकट्ठा करके 500 एकड़ जमीन और
37 लाख रूपया दिया और उस इदारे को शुरू कर दिया गया। उस इदारे ने बहु त सारे नायाब
हीरे पैदा किए। कुछ लोगों ने उसे मजहब के आईने में दे खा।
उपसभापति महोदय, मैं आपसे कहना चाहता हूं और आपके जरिए सरकार से कहना चाहता
हूं कि अलीगढ़ मुस्लि‍म यूनिवर्सिटी वह इदारा है , जहां अगर ईद के दिन काली शेरवा‍िनयों से
अरास्ता स्टुडें ट दिखाई दे ते हैं , तो ईद-ए-गुलाबी, यानी होली के दिन रं ग में सराबोर लोग भी
दिखाई दे ते हैं । अलीगढ़ मुस्लि‍म यूनिवर्सिटी वह इदारा है , जहां जो पहले �ेजुएशन करने वाले
छा� थे, वे राजा महें � सिंह थे। अलीगढ़ मुस्लि‍म यूनिवर्सिटी वह इदारा है , जहा ं आज भी 50
फीसदी से ज्यादा मे डिकल कॉलेज में बहु संख्यक समाज के लोग पढ़ते हैं , लेकिन अगर उसका
अक्लि‍यती किरदार खत्म करने की कोशिश की जाए, तो यह दु र्भाग्यशाली होगा। माननीय
उपसभापति जी, 1965 में एक दु र्भाग्यशाली घटना हु ई थी, उसके बाद अलीगढ़ तहरीक के नाम
से एक तहरीक चली, जिसमें हिन्दुस्तान शामिल हु आ और उस तहरीक के सबसे मजबूत और
कद्दावर नेता का नाम मोहम्मद अाज़म खान था। उन्होंने लम्बी जेल काटी और उसके बाद जय
�काश जी के नेतृत्व में एक नये सूर्य का उदय हु आ और उस वक्त के बहु त सारे लोग इस सदन
में बैठे हैं । आदरणीय सु�मण्यम स्वामी जी जैसे लोग, जिन्होंने अपने घोषणा प� में यह वायदा
किया था कि हम अलीगढ़ मुस्लि‍म यूनिवर्सिटी का अक्लि‍यती किरदार बहाल करें गे, लेकिन 1981
में �ीमती इंदिरा गांधी ने उसे बहाल किया। उसमंे एक लेक्युना था, उस लेक्युना में अलीगढ़
की तहरीक के सारे लोगों को एतराज रहा और वही कारण बना कि उसके अंदर अदालत का
हस्तेक्षप हु आ। मैं इस सदन से मांग करता हूं कि अगर आप दे श को शिक्षि‍त करना चाहते हो,
दे श के अनपढ़ लोगों को पढ़ाना चाहते हो, अगर उन लोगों को पढ़ाना चाहते हो, जिनके लिए
जस्टि‍स सच्चर ने कहा कि इनकी तालीमी हालत दलितों से भी बदतर है , तो अलीगढ़ मुस्लि‍म
यूनिवर्सिटी को अदालती विवादों से बाहर निकाल कर इस संसद के फ्लोर पर एक नई िजन्दगी
दो और उसके अक्लि‍यती किरदार की रक्षा करो। चूंकि अलीगढ़ मुस्लि‍म यूनिवर्सिटी का हिन्दुस्तान
की जंगे आज़ादी में ऐसा तारीखी रोल रहा है , जब गांधी जी ने कहा कि अं�ेजी लिबास जलाओ,
तो अलीगढ़ के स्टुडें ट़स ने अं�ेजी लिबास का पहाड़ बना दिया था और भारत की आजादी के
आंदोलन में साथ दिया था। मैं दलगत सियायत से ऊपर उठ करके आप सबसे करबद्ध अपील
करता हूं कि अलीगढ़ मुस्लि‍म यूनिवर्सिटी के अक्लि‍यती किरदार को अदालत की जगह संसद
के फ्लोर पर तय किया जाए।

Transport turmoil in the National Capital
SHRI ANANDA BHASKAR RAPOLU (Telangana): Mr. Deputy Chairman,

Sir, I seek the attention of the House, the Union Government and the enlightened
citizens of the nation on the prevalent transport turmoil in the National Capital.
...(Interruptions)... National Capital is the place of representative population of the
total population of the nation. The National Capital's transport turmoil reflects on the
image of the country creating division between haves and have-nots. ...(Interruptions)...

** Not recorded.
[Shri Ananda Bhaskar Rapolu]

That type of situation is now prevalent in New Delhi, the National Capital of India,
which is creating division between wealthy and the poor, haves and have-nots.
...(Interruptions)... This has resulted in exorbitant and huge number of registration
of the vehicles of odd and even numbers in Delhi and surrounding Haryana and
Uttar Pradesh. ...(Interruptions)... This type of situation is creating inequalities and
may also raise the tensions within the society. ...(Interruptions)... This situation was
experimented in Latin America and China. In Beijing, during Olympics, they tried to
have the road rationing and the odd-even facility of road-rationing in Beijing, which
has been reported to be a failure. ...(Interruptions)... All the international reports talk
about the failure of the road rationing, road spacing and odd-even facility and have
termed it as a failure. ...(Interruptions)... The Delhi Government, which is behaving
just as the...(Interruptions)...emperor who is not bothered about the difficulties and
the pathetic condition of the people of Delhi. ...(Interruptions)... They are treating
all the people as wealthy and they have forgotten that...(Interruptions)...

Plight of displaced families in Jharkhand due to industrialisation
�ी संजीव कुमार (झारखं ड): महोदय, विस्थापन झारखं ड की बहु त बड़ी समस्या है जिसके
कारण झारखं ड के संथाल आदिवासी एवं मूलवासी तबाह होने के कगार पर है । कई दशकों से
औद्योगिकीरण, कोयला एवं खनि‍ज खनन, डै म बनाने, power plant लगाने इत्यादि के नाम पर
झारखं ड में हजारों एकड़ जमीन का अधि�हण होता चला आ रहा है एवं रय्यतों को जमीन के
बदले नौकरी एवं मुआवजे के नाम पर ठगी एवं धोखाधड़ी का शिकार‍ बनाया जा रहा है । फर्जी
लोगों को नौकरी एवं मुआवजे का फायदा दिया गया है , जबकि रय्यत ठके जाते रहे हैं । जमीन
अधि�हण कानू न का बराबर दु �पयोग होता रहा है । जहां जरूरत नहीं है या जरूरत से ज्यादा
जमीन है , विि‍भन्न सरकारी कम्पनियों द्वारा दशकों के रय्यतों की जमीन का अधि�हण किए जाने
का खे ल कभी नहीं �का और झारखं ड का जल, जंगल, जमीन तबाह होता रहा, लोग विस्थापित
होते रहे । आज आलम यह है कि लाखों लाख विस्थापित जो बीसीसीएल, सीसीएल, ईसीएल,
एनटीपीसी, एमपीएल, डीबीसी आदि संस्थाओं द्वारा ठगे गए हैं , उसके विरोध में पूरे झारखं ड में
आंदोलन जारी है । धनबाद के बलियापुर के सीमापाथर गांव में डीबीसी के खि‍लाफ विस्थापित
लोग हजारों की संख्या में करीब महीने से आंदोलन कर रहे हैं , जिसके संबंध में मैं सदन को
पिछले स� में अवगत करा चुका हूं । अब वहां सैकड़ों की संख्या में लोग आत्मदाह करने की
धमकी दे रहे हैं ।
महोदय, मैं इस सदन में संज्ञान में यह बात लाना चाहता हूं कि सरकार को झारखं ड के
सभी विस्थापितों की समस्याओं को समझकर उनका शी� समाधान करना चाहिए, अन्यथा वह
दिन दू र नहीं कि झारखं ड के सभी विस्थापित आंदोलनकारी एक बैनर के तले आकर सरकार
के खिलाफ मोर्चा खोलने और उ� होने के लिए मजबूर हो जाएंगे।
महोदय, दू सरी बात जो मैं सदन को बताना चाहता हूं वह यह है कि हाल ही में राज्य
सरकार ने जिस स्थानीय नीति की घोषणा की है , वह झारखं ड में विस्थापित समस्या को बढ़ावा
दे गी और राज्य के संथाल आदिवासी एवं मूलवासी तबाही के कगार पर पहुं च जाएंगे, उनके बच्चों
को राज्य में छोटी सी नौकरी के लिए भी महरूम होना पडे ़गा। इन लोगों का जल, जंगल, जमीन,
जो औद्योगिकीकरण के नाम पर बरबाद होता आया है , बिल्कुल तबाह हो जाएगा। सरकार जान-
बूझकर इस नीति को लागू कर रही है , ताकि राजनीतिक फायदा उठाकर संथाल आदिवासी एवं
मूलवासी को नौकरी एवं उनके अन्य अधिकारों से वंचित कर उन्हें राज्य से पालयन करने को
मजबूर किया जा सके, क्योंकि इन्हीं सब गलत नीतियों के कारण अब तक झारखं ड से करीब
एक-तिहाई हिस्सा दू सरे राज्यों में जा चुका है जिनकी हालत दू सरे राज्यों में जानवर से बदतर है ।
महोदय, मैं सरकार से मांग करता हूं कि कें� सरकार इसमें हस्तक्षेप करे और इस गलत
नीति को लागू होने से रोके, बहु त-बहु त धन्यवाद।

Unilateral decision of the Government in reducing interest rate on

Employees Provident Fund
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN (West Bengal): Thank you, Mr. Deputy Chairman,
Sir. Finally, after three days, I got a chance to speak because of ongoing pandemonium.
...(Interruptions)... There were more spoilsports than business transacted. That is the
ultimate tragedy in this temple of Parliament. Anyway, Sir, I rise to draw the attention
of the Government to the unilateral, undemocratic action by the Finance Ministry in
unilaterally reducing the rate of interest on the Employees Provident Fund, completely
ignoring the unanimous decision of the tripartite body of EPFO, of which no less
than a person like the Union Labour Minister is the Chairman. That Committee

headed by the Union Labour Minister made an interim decision on the interest rate
to be given at the rate of 8.8 per cent on EPF with clear indication that in view of
the availability of more funds generated by the Employees Provident Fund, the rate
of interest will be more, which will be finally reconciled by the end of the financial
year. That is why, interim decision of 8.8 per cent was made. But, unfortunately,
not to speak of further raising it, the Finance Ministry cut it down to 8.7 per cent.
Here, the amount is not important. This money wholly belongs to the workers. Even
the employers' contribution is a deferred wage to the workers to be paid through
employers' contribution in the Provident Fund. That is the position. That Fund is run
by a tripartite Committee representing workers, employers and the Government, and
of which the Labour Minister is the Chairman. Their unanimous decision should not
be tinkered with by sheer exercise of the Executive authority of the Government of
India. That is a wrong and undemocratic position, and it led to huge loss to the four
crore workers. That is their own money. There is no Government contribution in the
Provident Fund. The money is wholly cut out of their salary and deposited as their
social security accumulation. The Government must not have any business in tinkering
on that democratic decision. And it is a part of the overall project of the Government of
India to do away with the Provident Fund system altogether. As a part of their project
-- yesterday also I raised it -- of ensuring ease of doing business, they are proposing
to make EPF optional. They unreasonably taxed the EPF withdrawal and they had to
roll it back ultimately in view of the angry protests made by the workers. ...(Time bell
rings)... They again did it ..(Interruptions).. by imposing restrictions ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Your time is over. Now, Dr. Sanjay Sinh.
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: The Government must reconcile its decision and
review ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Your time is over. ...(Interruptions)... You have made
your point. ..(Interruptions).. That's enough. ...(Interruptions)... Now, Dr. Sanjay Sinh.

Need to include Pal (Dhangar) community in the

Scheduled Caste category
डा. संजय सिंह (असम): उपसभापति महोदय, दे श भर में पाल, कुरूबा, धनगर, गडे रिया,
रबारी नाम से जानी जाने वाली भेड़पालक जाति है । अनेक �माणों से और साक्ष्यों के आधार पर
गडे रिया, कुरबा, रबारी ये सभी कु�वंशी हैं । इस जाति की जागृति एवं विकास के लिए राष्ट्रीय
और उत्तर �दे श स्तर पर कई संगठन कार्यरत रहे , ि‍जसका मुख्य उद्देश्य संविधान की अनु सूची
में अनु सूचित जाति �मांक 27वें पर इस जाति को दर्ज किया गया है , परन्तु आज तक तमाम
आन्दोलनों के बाद भी विशेषकर उत्तर �दे श में अनु सूचित जाति �माण प� जारी नहीं‍ किया
जाता है ।
एक सामान्य परिचय के अनु सार जम्मू कश्मीर, हिमाचल �दे श, पंजाब, हरियाणा, दिल्ली,
उत्तराखं ड, उत्तर �दे श में इन्हें बकरबाल, गद्दी, पाल, बघेल, गडरिया, धनगर, नीखर, चंदेल,
रोहतेला, दु बेला, परिहार आदि नामों से जाना जाता है । आबादी के हिसाब से धनगर (गडरिया
समुदाय) सम्पूर्ण भारत में पूरब से पश्चि‍म, उत्तर से दक्षि‍ण तक भारत की सम्पूर्ण जनसंख्या का
13.6 पतिशत है । उत्तर �दे श में यह �तिशत लगभग 8.5 �तिशत है ।
15 अगस्त, 1947 से पहले जो जातियां सामाजिक एवं शैक्षणिक रूप से अति पिछडी थीं,
उन्हें समाज की मुख्य धारा में लाने के लिए संविधान के अनु च्छेद 330, 332, 335 की धाराएं
15(4), 16(4) के तहत अनु सूचित जाति में लाया गया था। उसमें धनगर जाति कें�ीय गजट के
�मांक 27 पर दर्ज हैं ।
भेड़-बकरी पालक की सभी जातियों को अं�ेजी में shepherd कहा जाता है । अं�ेजी के
shepherd शब्द का हिन्दी अनु वाद गडरिया होता है । �ख्यात समाजशा�ी �ी जे. एच. ह्यूटन की
पुस्तक ''कास्ट इन इंडिया'' में भारत में जाति �था पृष्ठ संख्या 284 पर Dhangar a shepherd
caste in western India का हिन्दी अनु वाद धनगर भारत में गडरियों की एक जाति लिखा है ।
धनगर शब्द जाति बोधक है , जबकि गडरिया शब्द व्यवसाय बोधक है । धनगर व्यवसाय से गडरिया
हो सकता है , लेकिन जाति से धनगर ही है ।
समय-समय पर �दे श स्तर पर तथा जिला स्तर पर तमाम तरह के आंदोलन चलाए गए,
परन्तु धनगर समुदाय (पाल) को संविधान के तहत निर्धारित अनु सूचित जाति का �माण प� आज
भी जारी नहीं किया जाता है । पाल समाज को अनु सूचित जाति में कानू नी तौर पर शामिल किए
जाने तथा अनु सूचित जाति का �माण प� तहसील स्तर से जारी किए जाने के संदर्भ में समय-
समय पर उत्तर �दे श में कई आंदोलन चलाए गए, परन्तु किसी भी सरकार ने इसे गम्भीरता
से नहीं लिया। इसी �म में दिनांक 4 दिसम्बर, 2011 को �तापगढ़ में फैजाबाद और इलाहाबाद
मं डल के सभी जिलों से पाल समाज के लोगों द्वारा एक बड़ा आंदोलन किया गया था, जिसमें
35,000 लोग एक� हु ए थे।
भारत सरकार द्वारा गठित पिछड़ावर्ग आयोग की रिपोर्ट सन् 1955 खं ड 2 के पृष्ठ संख्या-
27, 51, 61, 66, 117 पर गडरिया धनगर का ट्रेडिशनल आक्यूपेशन शेफर्ड लिखा है । इसमें पृष्ठ
संख्या 194 पर अनु सूचित जाति की सूची में �मांक 27 पर धनगर लिखा है ।
छत्तीसगढ़ राज्य अनु सूचित जनजाति आयोग द्वारा गडरिया धनगर जाति �तिवेदन जुलाई,
2006 की रिपोर्ट में आयोग के अध्यक्ष �ी तारा सिंह राठिया ने अध्याय 9 में धनगर एवं गडरिया
जाति में किसी �कार का अंतर नहीं रखा है । धनगर की मूल जाति गडरिया ही है , इस बात
की पुष्टि‍ हो गयी है ।
अत: मैं सदन के माध्यम से सरकार से मांग करता हूं कि पाल समुदाय को अनु सूचित जाति
में शामिल करने का स्पष्ट आदे श जारी करने का कष्ट करें ।

Need to fix responsibility on brand ambassador for misleading

advertisements of products
�ी नरे श अ�वाल (उत्तर �दे श): उपसभापति जी, brand ambassador बनने का एक नया
फैशन चला है । �ीमन्, मैं हर रोज टी.वी. पर और अखबारों में दे खता हूं कि कुछ फिल्मी हस्ति‍यों
के नाम पर, कुछ प्लेयर्स के नाम पर और कुछ लोग धर्म के नाम पर आस्था रखते हैं और वे
लोग brand ambassador बनकर तमाम एेसे products का विज्ञापन करने लगते हैं । Product
तो छोड़ दीजिए, ये तमाम लोग real estate में चले गए और celebrity हो गए। उन्होंने विज्ञापन
दे ना शुरू कर दिया और जनता उनके �म में फंस गई तथा उस product को खरीदना शुरू
[�ी नरे श अ�वाल]

कर दिया। आज बड़ी विकट स्थि‍ति हो गई है । जो रिटायर हो गए हैं , मैं उनको दे खता हूं । एक
डॉक्टर आॅर्थो के हैं । वे कहते हैं कि कैसा भी जोड़ों का दर्द हो, कैसा भी शरीर का दर्द हो, हम
तुरंत ठीक कर दंे गे। मे डिकल साइंस उसको सही नहीं मानता है , लेकिन विज्ञापन और हमारे
celebrities इसको सही मानते हैं । हम आपको बहु त से नाम बता दें गे। अब तो सरकार भी brand
ambassador बनाने लगी है , गुजरात सरकार, भारत सरकार। मैं तो सिद्धू जी से कहूं गा कि वे
इस हाउस में आए हैं , वे भी कम से कम इस चीज से थोड़ा बचे रहें गे। एक brand ambassador
के नाम पर महें � सिंह धोनी को जनता का कितना विरोध सहना पड़ा। पूरे नोएडा में उनके
खिलाफ एक रिवोल्ट हो गया कि उन्होंने तमाम बिल्डर्स के मकान बिकवा दिए, जिन्होंने पैसा
तो ले लिया, लेकिन मकान नहीं दिया। तमाम ऐसे विज्ञापन मे डिकल की ऐसी दवाइयों के नाम
पर बड़े -बडे ़ फिल्मी हीरो, मैं यहां नाम लंूगा कि सलमान खान एक दवा बेचते हैं कि रिवाइटल

विश्व में कानू न है कि अगर कोई fraud करता है , तो celebrity को भी उतना ही दोषी माना
जाएगा। हिन्दुस्तान में ऐसा कानू न नहीं है । अभी एक पार्लियामें टरी कमे टी थी, उस कमे टी ने एक
रिपोर्ट दी है । उस रिपोर्ट में कहा है कि जितना दोषी �ोड्यूसर होगा, उतना ही दोषी celebrity
भी होगा। �ीमन्, यह रिपोर्ट सरकार के सामने आ गई है । दे श की जनता यह चाहती है कि
एक सख्त कानू न बने, जिससे हम ठगे हु ए महसूस न हों। मैं चाहता हूं कि सरकार को इस ओर
ध्यान दे ना चाहिए और इस पर रोक लगानी चािहए। मे रे पास बहु त से नाम हैं कि कौन-कौन
celebrity किस-किस चीज का विज्ञापन कर रहे हैं । मैं यहां उनके नाम नहीं लेना चाहूं गा, लेकिन
मैं आपके माध्यम से सरकार से मांग करता हूं कि इस दे श में जो हो रहा है , हर आदमी अपनी

Incident of fire in National Museum of Natural History in Delhi
SHRI ANIL DESAI (Maharashtra): Thank you, Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir.
My submission to the House is regarding devastating fire in National Museum of
Natural History in New Delhi. It is very unfortunate that a huge blaze gutted India’s
Museum of Natural History in New Delhi this week. It destroyed not only six floors
of the FICCI building but it also caused immense destruction of possibly countless
collections of country’s flora and fauna. Whatever we lost cannot be retrieved, nor
the loss can be quantified in rupees.
The Natural History Museum is a national treasure. It is not that we lost one
of the natural museums but the fact is that the Museum is the first and only natural
history Museum in India. In addition to the flora and fauna collections, it also
displays several fossils; one of which is the femur bone of a dinosaur belonging to
the Sauropod group.
Sir, everywhere in the world, people treasure their museums and look after them
with great care and make sure that there are adequate firefighting equipments on
hand to deal with any contingency. So, when we see a news report that casually
says that a Museum in the Delhi was gutted in fire, you have to wonder what kind
of people we are. Why was there no foolproof fire safety arrangement? What is the
responsibility of the Director of the Museum and the concerned Ministry that is
finally responsible for the safety of the natural and historical valuables?
And it is almost terrorising to imagine the gravity of loss had this incident
happened during peak hours when hundreds of visitors, including school children,
visit this museum as part of their subject. Nowadays it has become a common
phenomenon that fire accidents take place in Government buildings, particularly during
summer season, either due to short circuit or negligence of the people working in
those buildings. If fire equipment is installed, in many cases it does not work. The
same thing happened in the FICCI building.
Therefore, I urge upon the Government to issue strict instructions to the CPWD
and other agencies which are in charge of Government buildings and other owners
of private buildings to put in place fire equipment and remove encroachments in and
around the buildings to avoid such fire accidents. Thank you, Sir.

...(Interruptions)... Question No 46. Questioner is not here. Is there any supplementary?

UN help for Women and Child Development Schemes
*46. SHRI RAMDAS ATHAWALE: Will the Minister of WOMEN AND CHILD
DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state:
(a) whether Government has received any financial help from United Nations
or UNESCO for women and child development schemes in the country;
Oral Answers [28 April, 2016] to Questions 37
(b) the details of funds released for different women and child development
schemes during last three years and the current year, State/UT-wise; and
(c) whether Government has formulated any monitoring system for executing
these schemes and if so the details thereof?
THE MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI MANEKA

SANJAY GANDHI): (a) to (c) A Statement is laid on the Table of the House.
Statement
(a) Ministry of Women and Child Development has received assistance from
UN Organization only once in the last three years under the programme funded by
International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and implemented by the
National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). The programme
envisaged giving training to the self-help groups in areas that could promote income
generation.
(b) The project was implemented in five districts of UP and two districts of
Bihar. The funds released to NABARD in the last three years is as under:
Year Amount Released in `

2012-2013 9,22,79,733
2013-2014 11,25,00,000
2014-2015 4,50,00,000
2015-2016 6,90,54,761
Total 31,88,34,494
In view of the extremely slow progress of the project, the Ministry closed the
same w.e.f. 31.01.2015.
(c) For monitoring and execution of the project, the Government had set up
Monitoring Committees at the National, State and District levels.
SHRI K. T. S. TULSI: Sir, I want to ask a question. It is about the United Nations
help for women and children. The question really is that there are 1.2 million children
who die before reaching the age of five. There are 5.9 million children who die world
over but 20 per cent of the global infant mortality takes place in India. WHO has
been helping but we are unable to make the immunisation programme of Pneumococcal
Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) as part of the universal immunisation programme or the
Mission Indradhanush. It costs about ` 1,600 to ` 3,200 per dose. We are the largest
recipient of loans from the World Bank amounting to 102.1 billion dollars between 1945
and 2015. The largest borrower from the World Bank is also the State of Tamil Nadu.
I want to ask whether for promoting gender equality, education laws, policy plans and
addressing the obstacles in the way of HIV and AIDS, particularly in the context of
children, will the Government make it part of the universal immunisation programme?
SHRIMATI MANEKA SANJAY GANDHI: Sir, the entire question asked by the
hon. Member does not pertain to my Ministry at all. It pertains to the Health Ministry.
�ीमती कहकशां परवीन: सभापति‍ महोदय, मैं आपके माध्यम से माननीया मं �ी जी से यह

कहना चाहती हूँ िक माननीया मं �ी महोदया ने इस �श्न का जो उत्तर िदया है , उसमें उन्होंने
बताया है िक राष्ट्रीय कृिष एवं �ामीण िवकास बैंक द्वारा कार्यािन्वत कार्य�म के अंतर्गत संयुक्त
राष्ट्र संगठन से िपछले तीन वर्ष में केवल एक बार ही सहायता �ाप्त हु ई है और परि‍योजना को
उत्तर �दे श के पांच िजलों और िबहार के दो िजलों में चलाया गया था, लेिकन परि‍योजना की
धीमी गति‍ के कारण इसको बंद कर िदया गया। मैं माननीया मं �ी जी से यह जानना चाहती हूँ
िक धीमी गति‍ को तेज करने के िलए इनके द्वारा क्या कदम उठाए गए थे और इस परि‍योजना
को बंद करने से पहले राज्य सरकार के साथ बैठ कर बातें हु ई थीं या नहीं?
SHRIMATI MANEKA SANJAY GANDHI: Sir, the Priyadarshini Programme

borrowed money for just five places in Uttar Pradesh and two in Bihar. When our
Government came in, I did a review of this and we found that धीमी गति‍ तो दू र की
बात, there was absolutely no work on the ground. The idea was to train women
to be self-sufficient to start Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and to train them in ways
that they would be able to carry on their lives with more economic security. None
of this had been done. An amount of ` 31 crore had already been spent out of
` 100 crore with absolutely no effect on the ground. Yes, we consulted the State
Governments. We called in all the NGOs. We had meeting after meeting with the
bank people. We consulted NABARD. We did a ground level survey. We found that
many of the NGOs have been chosen for reasons other than ability to work on the
ground. The entire project had very little to do with women and more to do with
the people who own the NGOs. Therefore, we took this decision of the money that
was wasted was wasted, the rest be returned.
SHRIMATI RAJANI PATIL: Sir, the reply given by the hon. Minister is totally
contradictory and misleading to the House. If we see the reply, it says, "In view
of the extremely slow progress of the project, the Ministry closed the same." Again
in para (c) the Minister says, "For monitoring and execution of the project, the
Government had set up Monitoring Committee at the National, State and District
levels." How could a closed project be monitored and on what basis? They are
monitoring only five districts. How can a national level committee be constituted?
SHRIMATI MANEKA SANJAY GANDHI: Sir, five districts were chosen by the
Government before us. The Monitoring Committee was constituted by the previous
Government. When we came to power we took a review of the Monitoring Committee,
all the NGOs and every beneficiary. There was an intensive study done so that we
did not do anything that would disturb a good programme. But it wasn't a good
programme. It was a very bad programme that brought no relief to the women and
to the district. It didn't improve anybody's lives. Therefore, we have decided that
since it was a national money it should be closed.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Q. No. 47
Reluctance in sharing of information under RTI
*47. SHRI SALIM ANSARI: Will the PRIME MINISTER be pleased to state:
(a) whether according to a study conducted by Commonwealth Human Rights

Initiative, Government Ministries/Departments are reluctant and unwilling to share
even basic data under the Right to Information Act;
(b) if so, the details of the study conducted and the response of Government
thereto;
(c) whether Ministries/Departments are refusing the Central Information

Commission (CIC) to divulge even basic data on a number of RTI applicants; and
(d) if so, what steps are being taken to strengthen the procedure so as to
minimize the trend of rejecting or evading information to RTI applicants?
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC

GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE PRIME
MINISTER’S OFFICE (DR. JITENDRA SINGH): (a) to (d) A Statement is laid on
the Table of the House.
Statement
(a) to (c) The report of the Common-Wealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI)
is available on its website. This report analyses the trends of the implementation
of the Right to Information Act (RTI) based on the Annual Report—2014-15 of
the Central Information Commission (CIC). Some of the key findings of this report
inter-alia include the following:
(i) 75.27% of 2030 registered public authorities submitted their annual returns
to the CIC in 2014-15.
(ii) Total of 7,55,247 RTI applications were received by reporting public authorities
in 2014-15, which is about 79,000 less than RTI applications received in
2013-14.
(iii) The CIC imposed penalties of ` 7.39 lakh in 2014-15 as compared to
` 19.25 lakh in 2013-14.
As per the Annual Report of the CIC, 75.27% of the Public Authorities have
filed their Annual Returns to the CIC for 2014-15, which is higher than the figure
of 72.54% for 2013-14, indicating an improved compliance over the previous year.
As per Section 25(1) of the Right to Information Act the Central Information
Commission shall, after the end of the year, prepare a report on the implementation
of the provisions of this Act during that year and forward a copy thereof to the
appropriate Government.
The Act further says that each Ministry or Department shall collect and provide
all such information to the CIC required to prepare the annual report. The CIC
has, from time to time, issued letters to various defaulting Public Authorities for
submission of quarterly returns.
(d) The RTI Act, 2005 provides for imposition of penalty on the Public
Information Officer for malafidely denying or knowingly giving incorrect, incomplete
or misleading information or for destroying information that was the subject matter
of the request or obstructing in any manner in furnishing the information within the
prescribed time period.
In addition, the Government has taken several steps to strengthen the regime of
RTI Act, which inter-alia includes the following:
(i) An RTI online web portal www.rtionline.gov.in was launched to facilitate

online filing of RTI applications and appeals with the facility of online
payment of RTI fees. 100 Central public authorities were aligned with the
portal by April, 2014. However, from May 2014 onwards, 393 more Central
public authorities have been aligned to the portal taking to number to 493.
(ii) RTI online portal has provided the facility to citizens for filing applications
and first appeals in Hindi language from February, 2016.
(iii) The Government has conducted training and capacity building programs for
Public Information Officers and First Appellate Authorities through State
Government Training Institutes for effective implementation of the RTI Act.
In the year 2015-16, ` 1.66 crores has been released.
(iv) In the year 2015-16, funds for six regional conferences and 34 State level
workshops has been released for awareness generation on various provisions
of the Act.
(v) Ministries/Departments and Other Public Authorities are proactively working

towards suo-motu disclosure and more information is put on their websites
so as to reduce the need for filing RTI applications.
It is pertinent to mention that the Government has not entrusted any study to
the CHRI on the implementation of the RTI Act.
�ी सािलम अन्सारी: माननीय उपसभापति‍ महोदय, मैं माननीय मं �ी जी से पूछना चाहता

हूं िक मं �ालय और सरकारी पीएसयू का आवेदकों को गुप्त सूचनाएं दे ने के िलए अलग-अलग
मापदं ड है , जबिक नेताजी सुभाष चं� बोस की सभी गुप्त फाइलें सार्वज‍िनक कर दी गई हैं । मैं
माननीय मं �ी जी से यह जानना चाहूं गा िक secret, confidential and top secret दस्तावेज़ों
को वर्गीकृत करने के िलए क्या िनयम हैं ?
DR. JITENDRA SINGH: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the question pertains to the
Commonwealth Human Rights initiative. उसके संदर्भ में �श्न िकया गया है िक Chief
Central Information Commission को जो िरपोर्ट जाती है , आदरणीय सदस्य ने िजस िरपोर्ट को
क्वोट िकया है , उनके अनु सार शायद वह उस समय-रे खा के अधीन नहीं गई। मैं इसमें यह स्पष्ट
करना चाहूं गा िक Central Information Commission की एक �किया होती है । पहले public
authorities की ओर से annual basis पर िरपोटर्स जाती थीं, लेिकन अब उसे quarterly basis
पर कर िदया गया है । ये सारी इन्फॉर्में शन Central Information Commission के पास रहती
है और Central Information Commission का मूल िवचार है , the Government to ensure
transparency. मेरे ख़याल से, the greatest evidence of the Government's commitment for
ensuring transparency lies in the fact that for the first time in the history of the RTI,
in the last ten years, this Government has filled up all the ten posts of the Information
Commissioners which never happened earlier, शायद इसी कारण pendency भी रहती थी।
Not only that in the Department of Personnel itself we have a Grievance Cell. Now
we have started monitoring on a weekly basis, and even on the basis of the figures
which I calculated last evening, in the five working days, our disposal of grievances
has gone up to, as much as 84 per cent. We are personally calling complainants at
random to verify the level of satisfaction. यह कहना उिचत नहीं होगा िक इसमें िकसी तरह
की पारदर्शि‍ता में कमी है , बल्कि‍ मैं आपको बताना चाहूं गा िक इसका िरस्पांस बढ़ गया है । एक
क्षण और लेकर मैं इसमें एक बात यह भी जोड़ना चाहूं गा िक जब से यह सरकार सत्ता में आई,
उससे पहले on an average the number of grievances recorded was two lakhs and now
it is six lakhs, यानी यह काम तीन गुना बढ़ गया है । The hon. Chairman will be interested
to hear and appreciate; this is for your kind consideration, Sir. एक प�कार ने यह कहा
िक क्या मोदी सरकार के आने से िशकायतें बढ़ गई हैं ? ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: No, that could be discussed separately. You reply to the question.
डा. िजतें� िसंह: सर, एक िमनट, तो हमने आप ही की �ेरणा से ग़ािलब के शब्दों में यह
उत्तर िदया—
"जब तवक्को ही उठ गई 'ग़ािलब'
क्यूँ िकसी का िगला करे कोई।"
तो कहने का अर्थ यह है िक िगला वहां उठ गया, जहां तवक्को होती है । ...(व्यवधान)...

Our response has increased and, therefore, the number of grievances has increased
and the pendency has reduced.
�ी सािलम अन्सारी: माननीय सभापति‍ जी, मे रा जो क्वेश्चन है , उसका जवाब तो मं �ी जी

ने िदया नहीं। वे ग़ािलब का शेर सुना रहे हैं । बहरहाल, ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी नीरज शेखर: क्वेश्चन क्या पूछा गया था? ...(व्यवधान)... सी�ेट फाइल कैसे ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी सभापति‍: आप बैठ जाइए। ...(व्यवधान)... प्लीज़ आप बैठ जाइए। ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी नीरज शे खर: आप कुछ और बता रहे हैं । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी सभापति‍: नहीं, नहीं। ...(व्यवधान)... यह सवाल आपका नहीं है । सवाल उनको सवाल
पूछने दीिजए। ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी नीरज शे खर: सर, तो िफर हम लोग यहां िकसलि‍ए बैठे हैं ? ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी सभापति‍: नहीं, नहीं। आप उनको सवाल करने दीिजए। ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी नीरज शे खर: तो हम यहां िकसलि‍ए बैठे हैं ? ...(व्यवधान)... जब सही जवाब आएगा
तभी तो ...(व्यवधान)... जब सही जवाब नहीं आएगा तो ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी सभापति‍: प्लीज़ ...(व्यवधान)... आप उनको दू सरा �श्न पूछने दीिजए।
�ी सािलम अन्सारी: माननीय सभापति‍ जी, माननीय मं �ी जी से मे रा यह दू सरा सवाल है ।

िपछले कुछ वर्षों में RTI के कार्यकर्ताओं की हत्या कर दी गई है । मैं माननीय मं �ी जी से यह
जानना चाहता हूँ िक िपछले तीन वर्षों में RTI के िकतने कार्यकर्ताओं की हत्या की गई और
सरकार RTI कार्यकर्ताओं की सुरक्षा के िलए क्या कदम उठा रही है तथा क्या उनके परि‍वार
को कुछ मुआवजा दे ने पर भी िवचार हो रहा है या नहीं?
डा. िजतें� िसंह: सभापति‍ महोदय, वैसे तो इसका सीधा-सीधा इस �श्न के साथ संबन्ध नहीं
है िक िकतनी हत्याएँ की गई हैं । आपका �श्न RTI के साथ संबन्धि‍त था और उसका संबन्ध एक
अलग कानू न के साथ है । उसको लेकर Whistle Blowers’ Bill इत्यािद भी इस सदन के जे़रे
ग़ौर है । वह अभी कमे टी के पास गया हु आ है । उसके साथ मैं इसे नहीं जोड़ँ गूा, परन्तु आपका
जो िपछला �श्न था, शायद उसका पर्याप्त उत्तर नहीं िदया गया, मैं आंकड़ों के आधार पर उत्तर
दे रहा हूँ । आज evidence-based era है । There has been a reduction of 79,000 in the
number of RTIs filed over the last two years and जब यह सरकार सत्ता में आई थी,
तो हमारे पास 36,000 appeals and complaints थी, शायद आपको उसका demarcation पता
होगा। Today, we talk in figures. अब यह नहीं कह सकते िक मं �ी नहीं जानता, मैं जानता
हूँ । I have the figures. You can counter those figures ...(Interruptions)... So, 39,000
was the cumulative figure. ...(Interruptions)... It was the cumulative figure because
of the lack of promptness on the part of the Information Commission, which we
have activated and, as a result of which, this disposal has been expedited and even
the number of RTIs has gone down.
�ी राजीव शुक्ल: सभापति‍ महोदय, RTI पूरी तरह लागू हो, लोग उसका फायदा उठाएँ। इस
कानू न को लागू करने के पीछे भी बुिनयादी मं शा यही थी िक आम आदमी की जो िशकायतें और
समस्याएँ हैं , उनका िनराकरण हो सके। मैं इन सब के साथ सहमत हूँ िक इसको और अच्छी
तरह लागू िकया जाए। लेिकन सर, मैं एक सवाल मं �ी जी से पूछना चाहता हूँ िक क्या उनको
संज्ञान है िक इसका जबर्दस्त िमसयूज़ भी हो रहा है और लोग जमकर इसका गलत फायदा
भी उठा रहे हैं ? लोगों ने तो कार्ड छपा रखे हैं , जैसे कोई designation हो- ‘RTI Activist’. इस
तरह से लोगों को ब्लैकमे ल भी िकया जाता है , बड़े फायदे िलए जाते हैं , पैसे कमाए जा रहे हैं ।
यह सब रोकने के िलए वे क्या काम कर रहे हैं िक इस तरह की जो गतिविधि‍यां या हरकतें हैं ,
उनको रोका जा सके और कानू न की जो असली मं शा है , उसको पूरा िकया जा सके?
डा. िजतें� िसंह: सभापति‍ महोदय, आदरणीय सदस्य की िचन्ता उिचत है और इस िवषय
का संज्ञान भी िलया गया है । I am glad that across the lines, सबको इसकी िचन्ता है । हमारे
पास इस समय जो िनयम हैं , उनके अनु सार कुछे क पेनज्टीज़ रखी गई हैं , िजनमें अिधक से
अिधक 25,000 तक का जुर्माना इत्यािद है , परन्तु आपकी बात हमारे ध्यान में आती है िक शायद
कुछ और �ावधान इसमें लाने की गुंजाइश रहती हो, िजसके ऊपर आगे चलकर िचन्ता की जा
सकती है और उसका संज्ञान िलया जा सकता है ।
�ी नरे श अ�वाल: माननीय सभापति‍ जी, मैं आपके माध्यम से माननीय मं �ी जी से खास
तौर पर कहना चाहूँ गा िक यह सत्य है िक यह कानू न अमे िरका के दबाव में िहन्दुस्तान में लागू
हु आ। तो मैं पहले यह जानना चाहूँ गा िक हमारे पड़ोस के जो दे श हैं , पािकस्तान, बंगलादे श,
नेपाल और �ीलंका, क्या वहां यह कानू न लागू है या नहीं? दू सरा..
MR. CHAIRMAN: This is not fair. ...(Interruptions)...
�ी नरे श अ�वाल: अगर यह उन दे शों में लागू है —मैं इस कारण यह पूछना चाहता हूँ , मे रा
कहना है िक मैं ने जान-बूझकर शुरू में जो कहा िक अमे िरका के दबाव में इस दे श में यह कानू न..
MR. CHAIRMAN: Don’t say that. ...(Interruptions)... That is not fair.

�ी जयराम रमे श: सर, यह िबल्कुल गलत बात है । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी नरे श अ�वाल: आप कौन होते हैं बोलने वाले? ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी जयराम रमे श: यह िबल्कुल गलत बात है । ...(व्यवधान)... यह िबल्कुल गलत बात है ।

�ी नरे श अ�वाल: आप कौन होते हैं बोलने वाले? ...(व्यवधान)... आप मं �ी नहीं हैं ।
...(व्यवधान)... क्या आप अब मं �ी हैं ? ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: Nareshji, one minute. ...(Interruptions)...
�ी नरे श अ�वाल: ये कौन हैं ? ...(व्यवधान)... ये कोई िमनि‍स्टर हैं ? ...(व्यवधान)... इन्हें
गलतफहमी है िक ये िमनि‍स्टर हैं । ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: Nareshji, let me handle this. ...(Interruptions)...

�ी नरे श अ�वाल: जनता ने िनकाल कर फें क िदया और अभी भी ये िमनि‍स्टर हैं ?

MR. CHAIRMAN: Nareshji, the law was made by this Parliament and let us
leave it at that.
�ी नरे श अ�वाल: सर, मैं तो पूछ रहा हूँ , मे रा यह मानना है , हो सकता है िक मैं गलत
हूँ , लेिकन मैं ने पूछा िक िहन्दुस्तान के पड़ोस के इन दे शों में यह लागू है या नहीं है ? जैसा िक
राजीव शुक्ल जी ने कहा िक RTI और PIL, ये दोनों इस दे श के िलए बहु त बड़ी समस्या हो गए
हैं और इसके अंतर्गत तमाम िवभाग छू टे हैं , लेिकन जो नहीं भी छू टे हैं , उनमें से कुछ िवभागों
ने भारत सरकार को िलख कर भेजा है िक हमें भी RTI से मुक्त िकया जाए, क्योंिक दे श के
तमाम सी�ेट्स RTI के माध्यम से लीक हो रहे हैं । अगर यह बात सही है , तो यह कौन-कौन
से िवभाग ने िलखा है ?
डा. िजतें� िसंह: सभापति‍ महोदय, आदरणीय सदस्य के ध्यान में होगा िक जब यह �ावधान
लाया गया था, तब सदन की ओर से सर्वसम्मति‍ से लाया गया था। जैसा िक आपने कहा और
शायद इसके पीछे there must have been a noble intention of right to information िक
�त्येक नागरि‍क को जानकारी का अिधकार रहे । उसका िकस �कार से सही उपयोग हो, इसके
ऊपर �ि�या बनाई जा सकती है और समय-समय पर review भी की जा सकती है । उसके
अितरि‍क्त कुछे क ऐसे क्षे� हैं , िजनके िलए यह �ावधान रखा गया है िक उसकी जानकारी
उपलब्ध नहीं कराई जाएगी। इसके तहत सेक्शन (8) के अंतर्गत sovereignty and integrity है
और सेक्शन (24) के अंतर्गत securities issues आते हैं । इस �कार सरकार ने अपनी ओर से
इसमें कुछे क मापदं ड रखे हैं िक कौन-सी जानकारी दी जानी चािहए और कौन-सी जानकारी
नहीं दी जानी चािहए, परं तु जहां तक इसके िमसयूज का संबंध है , उसके ऊपर िवचार करने
की गुंजाइश हो सकती है । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी नरे श अ�वाल: सर, मैं ने पूछा था िक यह पड़ोस के दे शों में लागू है या नहीं है ?
MR. CHAIRMAN: That is a separate matter.
DR. JITENDRA SINGH: Sir, actually, I am assigned only to talk about the
Government of India, not for the Government of Sri Lanka.
�ी �फुल्ल पटे ल: चेयरमै न सर, हमारे बाकी सािथयों ने भी कुछ भावना व्यक्त की है । हम
भी सरकार में थे और दोनों सदनों ने RTI एक्ट को पास िकया। पारदर्शि‍ता के िलए हम सब
सहमत हैं और होना भी चािहए। एक बदलते हु ए युग में और आज के वातावरण में पारदर्शि‍ता
महत्वपूर्ण है , लेिकन साथ-साथ यह भी दे खना जरूरी है िक इसका दु रुपयोग न हो, जैसा िक
सभी सािथयों ने कहा िक इसका दु रुपयोग हो रहा है ।
सर, मुझे मालूम है िक सरकारी अिधकारी जब िनर्णय लेने की �ि�या में बैठते हैं , तो उनके
िदमाग में िनर्णय क्या लेना है , वह तो बाद की बात होती है , RTI के तहत उसमें से क्या िनकलेगा,
यह बात उनके िदमाग में पहले गूंजती है , बाद में वह िनर्णय लेने की कोिशश करता है । इस
तरह से objectivity खत्म हो गई है । इसके बारे में कई बार चर्चा सरकार के भीतर भी होती है ,
मुझे मालूम है । मैं यह नहीं कहना चाहूं गा िक मे री िकनसे बात हु ई, लेिकन सभी के मन में इसके
बारे में िचंता है िक हमने यह कानू न बहु त जल्दबाजी में बना िदया। ...(व्यवधान)... इसके बारे
में भी कहीं न कहीं चर्चा हु ई है । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी सभापति‍: आपका सवाल क्या है ?
�ी �फुल्ल पटेल: चेयरमैन सर, मैं सरकार से यह पूछना चाहता हूँ िक जब आपने यहां
पर कई लोगों की भावना सुनी है , तो क्या इस कानू न में कुछ बदलाव करें गे, क्योंिक इसमें कोई
locus नहीं है ? कोई भी आदमी दस रुपए भरकर कोई भी जानकारी �ाप्त कर सकता है । चाहे
वह कोई पनवाड़ी हो या कोई चायवाला हो, वह भी इस दे श की िमसाइल िकसने बनायी, यह
जान सकता है । ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: What is the question?
�ी �फुल्ल पटे ल: मैं ने उस भावना से नहीं पूछा। ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: What is your question?
�ी �फुल्ल पटे ल: अगर गलती से बोला गया है ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: We don't need a lecture on this.
�ी �फुल्ल पटे ल: सर, अगर गलती से बोला गया है ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: What is your question? Please ask your question; no deviation.
SHRI PRAFUL PATEL: There is no disrespect to the hon. Prime Minister. It is

an honour. But, he has become the Prime Minister. ...(Interruptions)...Now, he has
to answer somebody else. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is that your question?
�ी �फुल्ल पटे ल: जी नहीं, सर।
MR. CHAIRMAN: Then, please ask your question.
�ी �फुल्ल पटे ल: सर, आज कोई भी व्यक्ति‍‍ इसका सहारा लेकर अगर िमसाइल �ो�ाम के
बारे में , िकसी और बड़ी बात के बारे में , िकसी इंटरनेशनल िरलेशन्स के बारे में या िकसी सी�ेट
document के बारे में जानकारी चाहता है , then there must be some restriction. The locus
of person has to be known...(Interruptions)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is that a suggestion or a question?
SHRI PRAFUL PATEL: So, my question is: Is the Government willing to

consider bringing amendment to the RTI Act, so that it becomes more objective
and practical?
DR. JITENDRA SINGH: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the hon. Member's concern is well
taken. This will be kept in mind. And, to the earlier observation made by him
that this might cut down the initiative of officer, I would say that the Government
is equally concerned. I think, this is evident from the fact that the Prevention of
Corruption (Amendment) Act, 1988 that has been brought in by the Government
includes section 17 to replace section 6(a) of the DSP Act wherein the permission
to proceed against an officer was sought only in case of Joint Secretary and above.
Now, this will be mandatory for all officers. So, we are equally concerned that there
should not be anything done which cuts down or intimidates or causes unnecessary
harassment to any officer or reduces his initiative.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Now, Question No. 48.
More Kendriya Vidyalayas and JNVs in Odisha
*48. SHRI RANJIB BISWAL: Will the Minister of HUMAN RESOURCE

(a) whether the existing number of the Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and Jawahar
Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) is adequate to meet the growing demand of such schools
in the country, if so, the details thereof;
(b) whether Government proposes to establish more KVs and JNVs particularly
in the tribal, far-flung and left wing extremist affected areas of Odisha, if so, the
details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor; and
(c) the number of KVs and JNVs approved and set up during the last three
years and the current year?
THE MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI

SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI): (a) to (c) A Statement is laid on the Table of the House.
Statement
(a) and (b) The Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are opened primarily to cater to
the educational needs of the children of transferable Central Government employees
including Defence and Para–Military Personnel by providing a common programme of
education. Proposals for opening of new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are considered
only if sponsored by Ministries or Departments of the Government of India/State
Governments/Union Territories Administrations and Organization of employees belonging
to the eligible categories thereby committing resources for setting up a new KV as
well as on the availability of necessary sanction of the Government.
As per prescribed norms for the opening of new KVs under Civil/Defence Sector,
the concerned sponsoring authority is liable to provide suitable and sufficient rent
free temporary accommodation for setting up of the newly sanctioned KV to make
the school functional till the construction of permanent building by the Kendriya
Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) on the land to be provided by the sponsoring agency,
free of cost. The identified and demarcated land is also required to be transferred
by the State Government/District Authority to KVS.
The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme provides for opening of one Navodaya Vidyalaya
in each district of the country. Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) have been
sanctioned in 576 districts located in 36 States/UTs (except Tamil Nadu). Apart from
above, the Government of India has sanctioned 20 additional JNVs in the districts
having large concentration of SC/ST population, and 2 more JNVs in the State of
Manipur as a special case. Opening of new JNVs is a continuous process which
depends on the willingness of the concerned State Government to make available
requisite suitable land free of cost for construction of school buildings and required
temporary accommodation (free of rent) to start the Vidyalaya. Actual sanction and
opening of new JNV depends on the availability of funds and approval by Competent
Authority. The State/UTs wise details of functional KVs and JNVs are given in
Statement-I (See below).
54 new KVs were sanctioned under Civil Sector in the country in March,
2014 including 6 in the State of Odisha. Out of these, 34 KVs including 2 KVs at
(i) Hinjilicut in Distt. Ganjam and (ii) Sambalpur No. 2 in Distt. Sambalpur in the
State of Odisha have been opened and made functional. The details of the 34 KVs
opened and made functional are given in Statement-II (See below).
Out of 35 districts worst affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE), 52 KVs

are functioning in 24 districts in 7 States of the country. Out of these, 3 KVs at
(i) Sunabeda (ii) Koraput and (iii) Malkangiri are functioning in the State of Odisha.
33 JNVs are functioning in 30 worst affected LWE districts of the country

including 3 JNVs at (i) Koraput (ii) Malkangiri-I and (iii) Malkangiri-II in the State
of Odisha.
(c) During last three years and the current year, 61 KVs have been approved
and 40 KVs have been set up so far whereas two JNVs have been approved and
set up during the same period.

SHRI RANJIB BISWAL: Sir, through you, I would like to draw the attention
of the Government that Jagatsinghpur District of Odisha has a large concentration
of Scheduled Caste population and it has seen rapid industrialization also. Sir, over
the years, there is a major port there; there is a major oil refinery there; there are
a number of industries there. The district administration has sent a proposal to set
up a Kendriya Vidyalaya there which has been long-pending. I would like to know
from the hon. Minister, since there are a number of Central Government offices
there, what she is doing about the proposal and what action she has taken on it.
SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI: Sir, I would like to bring to the notice
of the hon. Member that on the 3rd February, 2016, the district administration has
written to us stating that they do not have 10 acres of land to set up a Kendriya
Vidyalaya and hence, the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) is now communicating
with them to understand how we can facilitate this demand in the district. Hence,
I would, Sir, through you, impress upon the hon. Member to use his good offices
to engage with the district administration and, in fact, help us fulfill this desire of
the citizens of the district.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Now, your second question.
SHRI RANJIB BISWAL: Sir, the Minister has given me the responsibility. I will
come back to her in one month’s time. But, I need an assurance that she will work
on that. My second question is that there are a number of seats lying vacant in the
Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Schools where the local students are not allowed
to take admission. Sir, I would like to request the Minister to make a provision so
that the local students are given an opportunity to get admission or a reservation
of 50 per cent is given to the local people so that the students can get admission.
MR. CHAIRMAN: That is not your question.
SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI: Sir, I would only say to the hon. Member
as I am sure every Member in this House and the other House is aware that we
have increased the quota for every hon. Member of Parliament now to, at least,
give entrance into Kendriya Vidyalayas. But the challenge with regard to Navodaya
Vidyalayas is this that the students who get admitted into Navodaya Vidyalaya have
to do so through an entrance exam because we want to give preference to students
from rural India and, especially, those from weaker sections of the society. Hence,
we ensure that all the seats that are demarcated for students in Navodaya Vidyalaya
are actually 100 per cent filled.
DR. K. P. RAMALINGAM: Sir, in the Minister’s statement, the third paragraph

says, “Opening of one Navodaya Vidyalaya in each district of the country. Jawahar
Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) have been sanctioned in 576 districts located in 36 States/
UTs (except Tamil Nadu).” Why is it? Why has the Government of India omitted
Tamil Nadu? Can the Minister explain in detail whether the State Government has
rejected it or not accepted it or why it has happened?
SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI: Sir, I would like to, through you, bring
to the attention of the hon. Member that the State Government has not accepted
setting up of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas within the State. That is the position
that has been unchanged with regard to the State till now in its communication with
the Government of India.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Now, Shri D. Raja.
SHRI D. RAJA: Sir, I wanted to put the same question.
MR. CHAIRMAN: All right. Shrimati Jharna Das Baidya.

�ीमती झरना दास बैद्य: सर, हर िडस्ट्रिक्ट में एक कें�ीय िवद्यालय होगा, यह सही बात है ,
लेिकन मैं माननीय िमनि‍स्टर को ि�पुरा के बारे में बताना चाहती हूँ िक वहां एक िडस्ट्रिक्ट में तीन
कें�ीय िवद्यालय हैं , दू सरे िडस्ट्रिक्ट में एक िवद्यालय है और तीसरे िडस्ट्रिक्ट में एक िवद्यालय
है । वहां आठ िडस्ट्रिक्ट में से पांच िडस्ट्रिक्ट में अभी तक कोई कें�ीय िवद्यालय नहीं है , जबकि‍
वहां 31 परसेंट ट्राइबल पीपल रहते हैं । वहां का उदयपुर िडस्ट्रिक्ट, िजसे गोमती िडस्ट्रिक्ट भी
कहते हैं , वहां के िलए सैंक्शन भी हु आ, लेिकन आज तक वह ए�ूव नहीं हु आ है । मैं यह जानना
चाहती हूँ िक वह क्यों ए�ूव नहीं हु आ और वह कब तक चालू हो जाएगा?
SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI: Sir, through you, I would like to tell
the hon. Member that it is not essential to have a Kendriya Vidyalaya in every
district. Kendriya Vidyalaya can only be opened depending on the Central employees
who are stationed in that district including Defence personnel and since it is their
deployment and placement in districts which becomes the pre-requisite to opening
a Kendriya Vidyalaya, hence, proposals from districts and States are looked upon
only in conjunction with that particular rule. I would also like to highlight the
concern expressed by the hon. Member especially for children who come from the
tribal community. In fact, Navodaya Vidyalaya caters to a lot of children from the
tribal community. I am sure, the hon. Member, along with others in the House,
today would appreciate a good news that I would like to share that Jawahar
Navodaya Vidyalaya students, particularly SC/ST children and children from weaker
sections, were particularly given help of special classes so that they can put up
their candidature in competitive examinations, especially the IIT-JEE. I have just
received news that children who participated in centres in Bengaluru and Pune, after
this special intervention, have achieved a hundred per cent result. So, I would like
to congratulate those students. For the first time, Sir, these students from the tribal
community, from the weaker sections of the society, have complete fee waiver in the
IIT system, including children, irrespective of their category, whose family earning
is less than Rs. 1 lakh a year. The fees would be waived off in IITs completely,
thereby we are facilitating the children who are economically challenged and socially
challenged to learn in the best technology institutions of the country.
�ी अजय संचेती: सर, मैं माननीय मं �ी जी से जानना चाहता हूं िक क्या सरकार इस साल
महाराष्ट्र में कोई नये कें�ीय नवोदय िवद्यालय खोलने जा रही है ?
SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI: Sir, as I said in my answer before, Kendriya

Vidyalaya is only opened looking at the deployment of Central staff including personnel
from the Defence, the para-military forces, also depending on the sponsoring authority
which can be the State Government. Once such a proposal comes, it is scrutinized
duly by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. With regard to Navodaya Vidyalaya, we
are cognizant of the fact that there might be proposals of the districts, not only in
Maharashtra but also across the country which are currently not covered and don’t
have a Navodaya Vidyalaya.
The hon. Finance Minister in his Budget Speech, in fact, has given us the
financial support to open up over 60 new Navodaya Vidyalayas in this current year
and we are hopeful that in this current year, then, that gap of 60 centres will be
bridged by the Government of India.

Indo-Pak Peace Talks
†*49. SHRI VISHAMBHAR PRASAD NISHAD: Will the Minister of EXTERNAL

AFFAIRS be pleased to state:
(a) the contradiction appearing in the attitude of Government of Pakistan and

Pakistani Investigation Team sent to investigate the Pathankot airbase terrorist attack
following the probe teams return to Pakistan;
(b) whether Pakistan is creating hindrance in Indo-Pakistan peace talks which

has impacted peace talks; and
(c) the details of steps taken by India and Pakistan to restore the trust during
last three years and whether their impact has been satisfactory?
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

[GENERAL (RETD.) V. K. SINGH]: (a) to (c) A Statement is laid on the Table
of the House.
Statement
Government is aware that after the return of Pakistan’s Joint Investigation Team
(JIT) from its visit to India from March 27-April 01, 2016 in connection with the
Pathankot Air Base attack, a segment of Pakistan’s media carried speculative reports
about the work of JIT while in India. A press release issued by the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Pakistan (MFA) on April 06, 2016 mentioned, inter-alia, that the
visit of the JIT to India had taken place in the context of the cooperative approach
being pursued by the Government of Pakistan to effectively fight terrorism in all
its forms. In his press briefings on April 07 and 14, 2016, the MFA Spokesperson
stated that it would be appropriate to allow the investigations to take their course
rather than indulge in speculations, and that the JIT was evaluating the information
shared by the Indian side. Mr. Sartaj Aziz, the Foreign Affairs Advisor to the Prime
Minister of Pakistan in his interview to an Indian TV channel on April 18 reiterated
similar views.
The Pathankot Air Base attack has served to stress once again the centrality of
our concern regarding cross-border terrorism in our relationship with Pakistan. The
need for Pakistan to effectively address this aspect has been reiterated several times
to Pakistan, including at the highest level.
† Original notice of the question was received in Hindi.

Guided by the vision to work towards a peaceful and prosperous neighbourhood,

the Government has taken initiatives to build normal relationship with all our
neighbours, including Pakistan. Prime Minister of Pakistan was invited to the swearing-
in ceremony of the Union Council of Ministers on May 26, 2014. Since then, the
Prime Ministers of the two countries have been in touch. They met on 10 July 2015
on the margins of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Ufa, Russia, and
on 30 November 2015 on the margins of the Climate Change Summit in Paris. At
Ufa, the two leaders mandated various steps to restore normalcy on the International
Border and the Line of Control, including meeting of National Security Advisors
(NSAs) and meeting of Directors General of Border Security Force and Pakistani
Rangers, which took place last year. In the first such meeting, the two NSAs met
in Bangkok on December 6, 2015 and held constructive discussions on peace and
security, terrorism, tranquility along the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir,
the State which is worst hit from terrorism and violence across LOC.
External Affairs Minister called on the Prime Minister of Pakistan and met
Mr. Sartaj Aziz on December 9, 2015 in Islamabad where she had traveled for
attending the Ministerial Conference of the Heart of Asia Process on Afghanistan. In
light of the constructive discussions between NSAs in Bangkok, Pakistan’s commitment
to effectively combat all forms of terrorism and the assurances to expedite Mumbai
attack trial in Pakistan, both sides agreed on a Comprehensive Bilateral Dialogue
and tasked the Foreign Secretaries to work out its modalities. Prime Minister’s brief
stop over in Lahore on December 25, 2015 was after his telephone conversation with
Prime Minister of Pakistan when he called Mr. Nawaz Sharif from Kabul, where
Prime Minister was on a visit, to wish him on his birthday and was informed of a
wedding in Mr. Sharif’s family. The visit underscored our vision for a normal and
connected neighbourhood.
Both sides have remained engaged in the aftermath to the Pathankot attack,
including for the visit of Pakistan's JIT in the context of investigation into the attack.
The two Prime Ministers have spoken to each other on a few occasions, including
on January 5, 2016 when Prime Minister of Pakistan called Prime Minister and
assured full investigation and effective action regarding the Pathankot attack. On 10
April 2016, Mr. Nawaz Sharif called Prime Minister to condole loss of life in the
Kerala temple fire. Prime Minister had called Prime Minister Sharif on March 27,
2016 after the Lahore terrorist attack. The two NSAs and Foreign Secretaries have
also remained in touch. EAM’s meeting with Mr. Sartaj Aziz in Pokhara on March
17, 2016 on the sidelines of the SAARC Ministerial Council Meeting helped pave
the way for the visit of Pakistan’s JIT.
In light of the decisions taken during the Ufa meeting of the two leaders Pakistan
has released and returned so far 335 Indian fishermen and 57 boats from its custody.
India has also released and repatriated all those Pakistani fishermen whose nationality
had been verified by Pakistani authorities.
�ी िवशम्भर �साद िनषाद: माननीय सभापति‍ महोदय, माननीय मं �ी जी से मैं ने जो सवाल

�ी सभापति‍: आप बैठ जाइए। जब वे कह रहे हैं िक नहीं हु ई, तो बात खत्म हो गई।

SHRI ANAND SHARMA: Hon. Chairman, Sir, the Minister's reply actually
hides more than what it conveys. We know that the relationship between India and
Pakistan is complex. There are historical reasons and the two countries have to
engage in talks to reach an understanding and to build an environment where there
can be a better relationship. Therefore, in the background of what has happened
and the reply — particularly, I am referring to paras 3, 4 and 5 of the Minister's
reply — give an impression that everything is perfectly normal between the two
countries, particularly, after the two Prime Ministers have met repeatedly. Therefore,
I would like to ask, post-Ufa, which has been referred to in para 3, what was the
understanding reached which convinced us and, particularly, after the two NSAs
met in Bangkok on 6th December, that assured the Prime Minister of India — I
wish if he was here — as Government claims to make an impromptu visit, sudden
impromptu visit, a halt, on way back to India from Kabul to Lahore to wish him
on his birthday? It is hard to accept and those who are conversant with diplomacy
and the conduct for ...(Interruptions)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
SHRI ANAND SHARMA: Sir, one moment. Therefore, there must have been
some understanding reached that the entire establishment of Pakistan, that means
the Government, the Army, was endorsing the process that convinced us to believe.
And related question to that, Sir, is, since the Minister ...(Interruptions)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: One question, please.
SHRI ANAND SHARMA: Sir, I am confining myself purely to the question

and the reply. About the JIT visit, there have been contradictory statements after the
return of the JIT, which included ISI representatives. I would like to know from the
Government, Sir, through you, whether we have also sought access to interrogate
Maulana Masood Azhar; our NIA team to go to Pakistan, since JIT was accepted and
welcomed. What is Pakistan's response in this regard? Are you assured of the access
to be given to interrogate and Pakistan accepting that its nationals were involved?
GENERAL (RETD.) V. K. SINGH: Sir, let me answer the second question first.
So far as we are concerned, our High Commissioner conveyed formally to Pakistan
Foreign Ministry that the terms of reference for the visit are broadly agreed to with
the proviso that they would be on the basis of reciprocity and agreed and followed
in accordance with the extant legal provisions. This has been very clearly conveyed
to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan that, subsequently, what has come in
newspapers, we are not concerned with. So far as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of Pakistan is concerned, it has not denied the reciprocity issue.
SHRI ANAND SHARMA: Sir, I seek your protection.
MR. CHAIRMAN: No. Please, please. Listen to the Minister.
GENERAL (RETD.) V. K. SINGH: The second point is, as far as we are

concerned, the JIT has gone back. It has been conveyed to the Foreign Secretary,
when he unofficially on a courtesy call met our Foreign Secretary, that they have
to look into our NIA visiting Pakistan. Now, he has to go back and take a formal
view and convey it to us.
SHRI GHULAM NABI AZAD: Was NIA under discussion?
GENERAL (RETD.) V. K. SINGH: Just a second.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Please listen.
GENERAL (RETD.) V. K. SINGH: Sir, as regards the first question which the
hon. Member has asked, at Ufa, centrality of terrorism emanating from Pakistan or
from areas being controlled by Pakistan was stressed. And it was an assurance that
was given by the Prime Minister of Pakistan to our Prime Minister that led to what
the hon. Member brought out. ...(Interruptions)... I am quite sure, after Pakistan's
terror attack in Pathankot, there is a considerable stress that has been caused, which,
after the NSAs have met, on the centrality of terrorism being the main issue, JIT
was permitted based on what I said earlier.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Now, Shri Sharad Yadav.
SHRI ANAND SHARMA: Sir, it is not a correct answer.
MR. CHAIRMAN: If it is not correct, you know the process.
SHRI ANAND SHARMA: Sir, the NSAs met before the attack. ...(Interruptions)...
I asked what understanding was there which assured the Prime Minister that the
entire establishment was endorsing the process?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Sharma Saheb, please. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI ANAND SHARMA: He met him in an impromptu visit. Sir, I asked a

question, and this is the House. You are a new Member, you will understand the
rules. Sir, what I have asked is that the NIA visit... ...(Interruptions)...
MR. CHAIRMAN: If the answer is factually incorrect, you are free to raise it
through appropriate procedures.
SHRI ANAND SHARMA: He has not answered my question.
MR. CHAIRMAN: This is only a supplementary question.
SHRI ANAND SHARMA: Sir, I seek your protection. He has not answered
my question.
MR. CHAIRMAN: If it is incorrect, write to the Minister. Sharadji.
�ी शरद यादव: सभापति‍ जी, यह जो सवाल है , इसके उत्तर के िलए कई तरह से सवाल
पूछे गए हैं । जो औपचािरक या अनौपचािरक वार्ता होती है , मैं िवस्तार से नहीं कहना चाहता,
मैं केवल इतना ही कहना चाहता हूं िक िसयािचन में हमारे दे श के सैकड़ों जवान मारे जाते हैं ।
वह इतना बुरा इलाका है िक वहां बहु त ही खराब एन्वायरर्नमें ट रहता है । वहां पर पािकस्तान
के लोगों की भी ऐसी ही हालत है । चूंिक िहन्दुस्तान के लोगों की वहां खराब हालत रहती है ,
तो इसलि‍ए मैं आपके माध्यम से सरकार से कहना चाहता हूं िक जब भी कभी पािकस्तान के
साथ िसयािचन पर िकसी तरह की चर्चा हो, तो पािकस्तान के साथ बात करके क्या उस जोन
को िकसी तरह से �ी िकया जा सकता है या नहीं िकया जा सकता है ? वहां पर हमारे दे श के
तथा पािकस्तान के सैकड़ों जवान मरते हैं , इसलि‍ए इस मुद्दे पर दोनों दे शों को बराबर बातचीत
के िलए तैयार रखना चािहए। यह मैं आपके माध्यम से कहना चाहता हूं ।
जनरल (सेवािनवृत्त) वी. के. िसंह: सर, माननीय सदस्य ने जो सुझाव िदया है , शी� ही
इसके ऊपर िवचार िकया जाएगा और इसमें से जो अच्छी चीजें िनकलकर आ रही हैं , उनको
लागू करने की चेष्टा की जाएगी।
�ी शरद यादव: मैं यह सवाल पूछ रहा हूं िक िसयािचन में जो सैकड़ों की संख्या में इधर
भी जवान मारे जाते हैं और उधर भी जवान मारे जाते हैं , तो जब भी िहन्दुस्तान और पािकस्तान
की अगली वार्ता होगी, क्या उस एजेंडे में यह मामला रहे गा या नहीं रहे गा?
�ी सभापति‍: इन्होंने आपसे कहा तो है िक इस पर िवचार करें गे।
�ी माजीद मे मन: महोदय, माननीय मं �ी जी से JIT की visit के संबंध में मे रा एक सवाल

है िक िजस तरह से पठानकोट में आतंकवाद की वारदात हु ई है , तो ज़ािहर है िक हमारे दे श
में हमारे कानू न के मुतािबक भी इस पर investigation हु आ और evidence collect िकया गया।
मे रा सवाल यह है िक यहां से JIT जो भी evidence collect करके ले गई है , उसमें और हमारे
evidence collect करने में िकतनी similarity या िकतना difference है ? दू सरी बात यह है िक
JIT जो evidence collect करके ले गई, क्या हमने उसका पूरा record रखा है या नहीं, तािक
वे वहां जाकर उसे बदलकर िकसी गलत बयानी से काम न लें? हमारी सरकार ने क्या इस
बात का ध्यान रखा है िक JIT को िदया गया evidence हमारे पास record में रहे और हमारे
investigation और उनके investigation में कहीं कोई मतभेद या कोई फर्क है ?
जनरल (सेवािनवृत्त) वी. के. िसंह: सर, मैं पहले तो माननीय सदस्य को यह बताना चाहूं गा
िक उनकी JIT और हमारे NIA के बीच में बहु त �ोफेशनल तरीके से डॉयलॉग हु आ है । हर चीज
उस तरीके से की गई है , जैसे हम करते हैं । उनकी इंक्वायरी का तरीका और हमारी इंक्वायरी
का तरीका तकरीबन एक जैसा है । एक माननीय सदस्य ने जो शंका ज़ािहर की है , उस संबंध
में मैं उन्हें बताना चाहूं गा िक उस शंका का कोई तथ्य नहीं है । जो िरकॉडर्स हमारे पास हैं , वही
िरकॉडर्स उन्हें िदए गए, उसकी कॉपी हमारे पास है और इसमें कोई िवरोधाभास नहीं है ।

MR. CHAIRMAN: Questioner absent any supplementaries?
SHRI ANANDA BHASKAR RAPOLU: Respected Chairman, Sir, the 'Skill

India' and 'Stand-up India' are in the campaign mode. There is every necessity for
the Industrial Training Institutes to enhance the skills of pre-matric and post-matric
students. We are having paucity of the Industrial Training Institutes across the nation.
But it is visible that several Government as well as private Industrial Training Institutes
are getting closed down. The policy and the programme towards maintenance and
sustenance of ITIs have to be updated not only by the Union Government but also
by the State Government. With its own campaign mode, the Central Government
may be focussing on that. But are they taking on board State Governments to ensure
up-to-date and modern curriculum, and also to sustain interests of the students in
ITIs so that ITIs are not closed down across the nation?
SHRI RAJIV PRATAP RUDY: Sir, the hon. Member has mixed up two issues.
He has talked about ITIs, which is training in the formal sector. As far as hard
skills are concerned, there are 13,000 institutions. About 2,500 are located in the
Government Sector, States and the Centre together, and about 10,000 are there in the
private sector. What he is referring to is about shutting down of training institutions.
I would like to bring it on the record of the House that under AICTE, there are
about 18,00,000 seats in the engineering colleges. In the engineering colleges across
the country, about 8.5 lakh seats are vacant. So, those are the engineering colleges
which are shutting down and excess of capacity has been created. That is why most
of these engineering colleges are shutting down and we have received the information
that almost 200 engineering colleges have been shut. So, that is a matter of grave
concern. When we come back to the ITIs, it is a formal system set up for training
students, 10th dropouts or 10th pass people, we have a whole ecosystem and we
have about 13,000 ITIs. What he is talking today is very important because at
some point of time, we have missed a policy framework. We started opening ITIs
in this country in 1969. Today, there are about 13,000 institutions. And, today, 2500
blocks in the country, across the country, since last 67 years, do not have a single
training institute. Now, this is a very major concern. And, there are districts in this
country – I can give examples – which have a lot of ITIs. One district has 200 ITIs.
Now, if you look at Palamu in Jharkhand, it has one ITI – whether it is private or
Government, we can come to that later – but in the city of Jaipur, there are 200
ITIs. So, there is something which went wrong. Now, what we are trying to do
is – the Government has got a policy now and we have provided a Budget – we
are trying to bring all these uncovered blocks in this country under a PPP model.
The cost of a primary stage ITI would be around ` 3.5 crores or ` 4 crores, and to
make it faster, we are funding through the National Skill Development Corporation.
We are giving the money, some grant and a very soft loan so that the people from
the industry can come up. Today, the partnership of the industry is very important.
जो लोग उद्योग जगत से जुड़े हु ए हैं , वे बार-बार कहते हैं िक हमें trained manpower चािहए,
तो trained manpower �ोवाइड करने के िलए हम लोगों ने इंडस्ट्री को जोड़कर, दे श भर में
इसी तरह के इंस्टीट्यूट्स की स्थापना करने का �स्ताव बनाया है और अब हम इस �स्ताव को
कैिबनेट में ले जाकर पािरत करें गे। जो formal skilling का स्वरूप है , उसमें हमने बहु त बड़े रूप
से apprenticeship में भी सुधार िकया है । जहां तक dropouts का सवाल है , जो लोग आठवीं
या नौवीं पास होते हैं , उनमें आप जो skilled work force की बात कर रहे हैं , we are taking
them under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana, which is 'short-term skilling'.
So, a structured long-term skilling, which happens in industry, will go in the NCBT,
and then there is structured short-term skilling which was, of course, an initiative of
the previous Government also. However, the structure was different. We are redefining
it and setting up model skill centres across the country. So, on the one side, the
informal skills will go in the skill development centres and the formal skills will
go in the ITIs or the equivalent of that.
SHRI RANGASAYEE RAMAKRISHNA: Sir, the conventional pattern has been

to have an ITI. The boys are trained in certain conventional trades and skills, and
then they go into the job market and they lose there. Why don't you ask the FICCI,
ASSOCHAM and such organizations and corporate sector to train people for their
own particular skill requirements and take them straightway into the jobs? I think,
these newer methods will have to be adopted rather than opening more and more
ITIs which then throw people in the job market.
SHRI RAJIV PRATAP RUDY: Sir, this is a very pertinent question. अभी िजतने
भी आईटीआई में �िशक्षण होते हैं , उनमें लगभग 250 Trades हैं , and, out of those 250
trades, there are only 10 or 12 trades which all these institutes want to run because
these are institutes which are basically notified in public sector undertakings that 'if
you do your ITI from there, you will get a Government job which include Fitter,
Computer Operator, Programme Assistant, Electrician, Mechanical Welder, etc.' They
are 12 of that. So, most of these ITIs only run these 10-12 trades and they do not
run most of the courses which are creating employment.
On the question of industry partnership, Sir, the biggest industry partnership

world over — and every country in the world has it which possibly we have missed
— is through apprenticeship. Industry gets apprentices which we should also have
and it is where the training takes place. For example, China has about three crore
apprenticeships. So, most of the people who pass out from such institutes go to the
industry and train themselves irrespective of the fact whether they get absorbed in
that industry or they move out of that industry. Even Japan has about a crore. We, in
India, between my Ministry and the HRD Ministry — because there are two verticals;
one is being looked after by the HRD Ministry and the other is being looked after
by the Ministry of Skill Development — we only do about three lakhs. So, this
number is very insignificant. But, Sir, if you remember the 20 Point Programme of
Mrs. Gandhi when she had said that 'we will reform the Apprenticeship Act', we
did that change in 2014, and it took thirty years. We have removed all the shackles
which were there in the Apprenticeship Act which included imprisonment, trade-wise,
etc. So, today, even if you look at the public sector undertakings — and this is for
the consumption of Members of Parliament — at least in the Government, where we
have the public sectors undertakings, out of 50 lakh jobs which are existing in the
public sector, with the reform policy, we can have apprenticeship between two-and-
a-half per cent and upper cap of ten per cent. So, around, good 50,000 individuals,
graduates, post-graduates, under-graduates or those who come from the ITIs can go
to the public sector. So far, the public sector's ratio is miniscule. Even if I have to
look at the big petroleum sector, there is a big possibility. The Ministry of Mines
has about 620 apprentices while its capacity is around 40,000 and, out of that,
two-and-a-half to ten per cent would be around 5,000. So, there is a great policy
of pushing apprenticeship, and this is in the public sector. Similarly, if we are able
to partner the private sector, the whole ecosystem of skills, hard skills and all the
great training that we are talking about can happen. This can happen only through
industry-association, which the Government is trying to build up.
DR. KARAN SINGH: Mr. Chairman, the Minister has given some useful
information regarding this matter. But I would like to make the point that with the
massive unemployment in this country, a great lacuna is the lack of intermediate
training institutes between schools and the IITs. Now, will the Government make a
massive effort, in coordination with the Ministry of Human Resource Development
and the public sector, to really exponentially increase the number of training institutes
and apprentices? The unemployment backlog is growing and we are not going to be
able to catch up unless that is done. Will this be a priority with the Government?
SHRI RAJIV PRATAP RUDY: Sir, this is a policy lacuna or the mindset of
the people. Pardon me for putting this in the House. It is a very harsh statement.
Education had a distinct bias towards skill, because in the entire education system,
skill has been there, but all of us who have become big or important in the system,
though educated, are not skilled individuals. So, the bias of education against skill
has been in perpetuity. Even when we went to the ITIs after doing 10th or 12th,
we cannot seek admission; equivalence is not there. But now, Smritiji has agreed
and she has given a formula through the National Open Schools. For the last 67
years, for all those students who did their ITIs, there was no lateral or a vertical
climb as far as opening up of further venues is concerned. I am happy that, for
the first time in Indian history, the Ministry of HRD has integrated itself with the
Ministry of Skill Development and now these boys who are doing their ITIs would
move towards open education and they can aspire.
Sir, in India, we do not have a ‘Professor of Welding’; we do not have a

‘Professor of Plumbing’, which is there across the world. So, this is the difference,
that the aspirational aspect has been kept in mind. I have talked to the Prime Minister
about it and, for the first time, even students passing out from ITIs would have
a grand function and a grand convocation where they would wear robes and they
would come out and say we are also a part of the industry workforce.
As far as the schooling system is concerned, a mistake has been committed. That
is because every skilling across the world should have taken place in the schools.
Unfortunately, this never became aspirational. There is an integration process. We are
trying to build up a credit framework, from 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th onwards,
and this process has to begin. It has to be integrated, but the schools are still not
ready. We are very positive about it. We are trying to convince them. This workforce
is actually what we are talking about. The Prime Minister’s initiative to make India
the world’s workforce is an effort which we are trying to do. I think the process
that Dr. Karan Singh has talked about has been initiated. Though delayed, we would
achieve it. That is for sure.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Question No. 52. ...(Interruptions)...
Compulsory retirement of non-performing officials
*52. PROF. M.V. RAJEEV GOWDA: Will the PRIME MINISTER be pleased
to state:
(a) whether Government is working on the proposal of compulsory retirement

for non-performing and inefficient Government officials, if so, the details thereof; and
(b) the details of metrics for such an assessment?

MINISTER’S OFFICE (DR. JITENDRA SINGH): (a) and (b) A Statement is laid
on the Table of the House.
Statement
(a) and (b) Central Government has since long been reviewing officials on
grounds of performance and efficiency. Fundamental Rules, All India Services Rules
and other Service Rules provide for retirement in public interest.
Under Rule 56(i) of Fundamental Rules, review is done at the age of 50/55
years for Group A and B officials and at the age of 55 years for others. As per
the provisions of All India Services (Death cum Retirement Benefit) Rules 16(3),
inter-alia, review is done on completion of 15/25 years of qualifying service or on
attaining the age of 50 years as the case may be. While reviewing, parameters such
as the entire service record and performance are taken into consideration.
Review of performance is a continuous process. These provisions have been

reiterated from time to time, more recently in September 2015 and in April 2016.
However, disciplinary action as appropriate, including compulsory retirement,

is taken under the provisions of Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and
Appeal) Rules, All India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules and other Service
Rules as applicable to various Services on completion of enquiry.
PROF. M. V. RAJEEV GOWDA: Sir, this question was about non-officers being
removed, and the Minister’s reply says that they are reviewed and removed at the
age of 50 and 55. Sir, that is absolutely too late in anyone’s career. Will the Minister
commit to changing this procedure to ensure that maybe at the age of 40 or 45,
the appropriate officers, who are deemed non-performers, are removed from service
and maybe the bottom five per cent of non-performers are removed on an annual
basis so as to ensure efficiency in governance?
DR. JITENDRA SINGH: Sir, the hon. Member’s concern to ensure efficiency in
administration is well taken. He has referred to the age criterion, which is one of
the various other criteria and parameters meant for this purpose. For example, we
have the Fundamental Rules 56(j), which provides for premature retirement. I shall
not call it ‘compulsory retirement’ because that falls in another category. Then, we
have dismissals and deemed resignations. We also have certain other penalties based
on the nature and the situation. Broadly speaking, this assessment is made on the
basis of two criteria, (a) performance and (b) the record of service. Apart from that,
if there are any specific allegations, depending upon that, an inquiry is conducted and
an appropriate penalty is also instituted, sometimes regardless of age. So, it is not
necessary that this would happen only at the age of 50 or so. But, having listened
to what he says, this will be kept in mind.

94 Written Answers to [RAJYA SABHA] Starred Questions

MANEKA SANJAY GANDHI): (a) There are 17 Globally Agreed Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) having target year as 2030. Out of these SDGs, Goal
No. 2 States “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote
sustainable agriculture”.
Goal 2 mentioned above, has been divided into eight Targets. Target 2.2 of the
above Goal States as under:
“By 2030, end all forms of malnutrition, including achieving by 2025, the
internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of
age and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating
women and older persons”.
To address the components of the Target, this Ministry is implementing Integrated

Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme and Rajiv Gandhi Scheme for Adolescent
Girls i.e. SABLA. While ICDS covers the nutritional needs of children of 6 months-6
years age, pregnant and lactating mothers, RGSAG Scheme covers the nutritional and
non-nutritional components for adolescent girls. Under these Schemes, age appropriate
Supplementary Nutrition is provided to the beneficiaries at the Anganwadi Centres
spread across the country.
As per the National Family Health Survey, the proportion of under-weight children
below 3 years declined from 43% in 1998-99 to 40% in 2005-06. As per the Rapid

(unlike that existing in Uranium), commercial utilisation of Thorium, on a significant
scale, can begin only when abundant supply of either Uranium or Plutonium resources
are available. Upon the launch, followed by a significant growth of a thorium based
nuclear programme in this manner, it could be possible to maintain the achieved
level of nuclear power programme with thorium alone, without additional demands
on uranium or plutonium resources. Therefore, considering the meager domestic
uranium resources in the country, it is feasible to start a significant commercial level
Thorium based reactor programme in our country only after an adequate inventory
of Plutonium becomes available from our Fast Breeder Reactors, comprising the
second stage of Indian nuclear programme. Accordingly, the utilisation of Thorium

as a practically inexhaustible energy source has been contemplated during the third
stage of the Indian nuclear programme, which can be reached after a few decades.
Substantial work has been carried out in the areas of research on technologies for
utilisation of thorium in nuclear fuel cycle, and on the development of an Advanced
Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR), for use of thorium based fuel on a large scale. Some
important highlights of these activities are the following:
(i) Fuel bundles containing Thorium Oxide (Thoria) pellets have been used in
the initial core of our operating Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs)
and valuable experience has been generated in operation. Thoria based fuels
have also been irradiated in the research reactors of BARC. After such
irradiation these fuel elements have been examined in the laboratories at
BARC yielding encouraging results.
(ii) An Engineering Scale Reprocessing Facility, Power Reactor Thoria
Reprocessing Facility (PRTRF), has been setup at BARC to reprocess the
fuel bundles irradiated in PHWRs. Some of the fuel bundles, irradiated in
PHWRs, have been reprocessed to produce Uranium-233. This has provided
valuable experience in reprocessing of thoria based fuels.
(iii) The irradiated thoria pins of Research reactors have been reprocessed to
obtain Uranium-233. The recovered Uranium-233 has been fabricated as
fuel for the 30 kW (thermal) KAMINI reactor which is in operation at
Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) at Kalpakkam. This
is the only reactor in the world operating with Uranium-233 fuel.
(iv) The very challenging technologies for fabrication of Thoria based fuel
pellets have been established.
(v) Studies have been also carried out to use Thorium in different types of
reactors with regard to fuel management, reactor control and fuel utilisation.
(vi) The 300 MWe AHWR designed by BARC is intended to serve as a
technology demonstrator for Thorium utilisation as well as for validating
several advanced safety features that have been incorporated in the design
of this reactor. The design of all nuclear systems of the reactor has been
completed and associated confirmatory R&D is in a very advanced stage.
Several innovative features of the design are currently being validated
through large scale engineering experiments. In order to facilitate an
early scrutiny of the design of the innovative features of the design from
the safety considerations, a Pre-Licensing Design Safety appraisal of the
reactor has been completed by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board.
Detailed engineering of AHWR is currently in progress and construction

of this reactor can begin after the necessary site selection is approved and
associated statutory and regulatory clearances are obtained.
(vii) A Critical Facility for Advanced Heavy Water Reactor was commissioned in
2008 at BARC and is being used since then for carrying out experiments
to further validate the physics design features of Advanced Heavy Water
Reactor.
(viii) Conceptual design of a prototype demonstration Indian Molten Salt Breeder
Reactor (IMSBR), along with development of technologies related to salts,
components, fuels, and materials for this reactor; is being carried out in
BARC. This reactor is being considered as an attractive option for the
third stage of our nuclear power programme.

Target for generation of nuclear power
484. SHRI JESUDASU SEELAM: Will the PRIME MINISTER be pleased to state:
(a) whether Government has put forth a target of 63 GW of nuclear power by

2032;
(b) the expected share of nuclear power in the country by the end of Twelfth
Five Year Plan period; and
(c) whether Government plans to increase the annual budgetary allocation for
nuclear energy in the coming years, if so, the details thereof?

(DR. JITENDRA SINGH): (a) The Integrated Energy Policy formulated in the year
2006 had envisaged reaching a nuclear power capacity of 63,000 MW by 2032.
Further, the Government in its recent submission of Intended Nationally Determined
Contribution (INDC) has also stated that efforts are being made to achieve 63 GW
installed capacity by the year 2032, if supply of fuel is ensured.
(b) The percentage share of energy from nuclear power by the end of the
Twelfth Plan period is expected to be around 3%.
(c) Yes Sir; In the 2016-17 budget speech, the Finance Minister has announced
that the Government is drawing up a comprehensive plan, spanning next 15 to 20
years, to augment the investment in nuclear power generation.
Commissioning of unit-2 of Kudankulam nuclear power plant
485. DR. R. LAKSHMANAN: Will the PRIME MINISTER be pleased to state:
(a) whether Government would make Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project Unit-2
(KKNPP-2) operational within the current financial year 2016-17;
(b) if so, the tentative date by which KKNPP-2 would be commissioned; and
(c) the reasons for non-commissioning within this financial year itself?

(DR. JITENDRA SINGH): (a) Yes, Sir.
(b) The reactor of unit-2 is expected to be functional with the start of controlled
self sustaining fission chain reaction for the first time, in this quarter of the current
financial year. Following this, the prescribed tests and the stepwise increase in power
will be done in line with the regulatory clearances obtained from the Atomic Energy
Regulatory Board (AERB).
(c) Does not arise.
Rainfall prediction at micro level
486. SHRIMATI VANDANA CHAVAN: Will the Minister of EARTH SCIENCES

(a) whether Government has made any analysis related to rainfall prediction and
actual rainfall at micro level like, district, villages etc. if so, the details thereof; and
(b) whether Government has efficient technology for cloud seeding to improve
rains in drought prone areas and whether Government has used that technology in
last one year, if so, the details thereof?
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EARTH SCIENCES

(SHRI Y. S. CHOWDARY): (a) Yes Sir. At present district level weather forecast
is generated for the next five days by India Meteorological Department (IMD) and
based on that Agromet Advisories are prepared and communicated to the farming
community in the country.
Qualitatively the rainfall forecast was able to capture the event for most of the
regions of the country more than 80% in most of the districts of the States.
Quantitatively the accuracy of rainfall forecast was on an average 65% in many

of the districts of States.
The performance evaluation of the updated global/meso-scale forecast systems

for the past 5 years have demonstrated enhanced forecast skill. The success achieved
in improving the accuracy of heavy rainfall warnings during the summer monsoon
season is enumerated below:
1. Probability of Detection (PoD) has been assessed at 0.71.
2. False Alarm Rate (FAR) has dipped to 0.13.
3. Missing Rate (MR) has also reduced to 0.29.

4. Percent correct (PC) of yes/no rainfall forecast for monsoon season 2014 is
91%.
IMD is not providing forecast and advisory services at the Block Level at present.
However research efforts are initiated by IMD to explore possibility of generating
sub district scale Agrometeorological forecast with acceptable level of verification
skill in a pilot mode.
(b) No Sir. As things stand today, artificial rain making techniques involving
cloud seeding cannot be used for bringing rain clouds to rainfall deficit/drought areas.
These techniques can only induce potential preexisting clouds, already passing over
a given place, to produce enhanced quantum of rain.
Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) is putting its effort in understanding

the rain formation in clouds through studying cloud microphysical characteristics
through a research program Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement
Experiment (CAIPEEX).

Approaches towards ISIS
490. SHRI C. P. NARAYANAN: Will the Minister of EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

(a) what is the approach of Government towards ISIS;
(b) what is its assessment of the origin of ISIS and its armed attacks on Syria
and neighbouring countries;
(c) whether it approves unilateral armed attack by USA and its allies as also
Russia against ISIS; and
(d) why does not India campaign that such intervention in other countries can
be made only on the basis of UN decision and forces under UN auspices?

[GENERAL (RETD.) V. K. SINGH]: (a) India believes that the solution to the ISIS
threat in Syria can only be through a larger and collective political engagement for
facilitating a comprehensive rather than fragmented approach to the issue.
(b) ISIS owes its roots to the Al-Qaeda in Iraq, and was formed as a result
of the sectarian tensions in Iraq following the US invasion of 2003. It is one of
the most radical terrorist groups operating in the West Asia region, endangering the
sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries in the region, including Syria and
Iraq.
Armed attacks by ISIS on Syria and neighbouring countries are to be understood

in light of its practice from its inception that control over physical territory is a
necessary step in order to build a new political structure.
(c) Government of India's consistent policy has been to address the problem of
international terrorism only through international consensus under the umbrella of the
United Nations rather than through any single nation or coalition of countries.
(d) There is lack of agreement among UN Member States on the definition of

'terrorism' and consequent inability to finalise an international treaty for addressing
the menace of terrorism. Accordingly, India has been consistently emphasizing the
importance of early finalisation of a Comprehensive Convention on International
Terrorism in order to facilitate counter-terrorism initiatives under the UN auspices
at various bilateral and multilateral meetings in this regard.
China vetoed India’s effort against terrorism acts
†491. SHRIMATI KANAK LATA SINGH:

SHRI VISHAMBHAR PRASAD NISHAD:
SHRI NARESH AGRAWAL:
Will the Minister of EXTERNAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state:
(a) the objections that India has raised against China who has vetoed against
India’s efforts to ban the Head of Jaish-e-Mohammed, who is the conspirator of the
Pathankot conspiracy, by the United Nations;
(b) whether India has taken any steps to bring about changes in its foreign
policy with China in the view of the step taken by China; and
(c) the steps taken to make up for the loss occurred from veto against India’s
efforts to ban the Head of the Jaish-e-Mohammed by the United Nations after the
Mumbai and Pathankot attacks?

[GENERAL (RETD.) V. K. SINGH]: (a) to (c) The matter was taken up with China,

Minister Wang Yi in Moscow on 18 April 2016 and during the visits of Raksha
Mantri to China from 17-20 April, 2016 and National Security Advisor to China
from 20-21 April, 2016.
India’s position has been conveyed clearly that there cannot be different standards
to judge terrorism. China has often repeated its concern on spread of terrorism and
their desire to cooperate with us on this issue. The Government is in constant touch
with China on this matter.
UN Security Council Resolution 1267 regime is an important building block of

the UN Global Counter Terrorism Strategy that should aim to protect all member
States and their citizens from the activities of terror groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed
(JeM) and its leader Mohammed Masood Azhar.
Its working methods, based on the principles of unanimity and anonymity, is

leading the Committee to adopt a selective approach to combating terrorism. This does
not help the international community to decisively confront the menace of terrorism.
We have forcefully taken with international community that while the Pakistan-
based JeM was listed in UN Security Council Committee established under UNSCR
1267/1989/2253 as far back as 2001 for its well known terror activities and links
to the Al Qaeda, the designation of the group’s main leader, financier and motivator
has been put on a technical hold.

(b) whether the team that arrived in India for the said probe is a Joint Investigation
Team (JIT) formed for the purpose of the said investigation by the Pakistan, if so,
the details thereof?

[GENERAL (RETD.) V. K. SINGH]: (a) and (b) The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) of
Pakistan, constituted by the Government of Pakistan in connection with the Pathankot
Air Base attack, visited India from 27 March to 01 April, 2016. It comprised of
Muhammad Tahir Rai, Additional Inspector General of Police (Convenor of JIT);
Mohammad Azim Arshad, DIG; Lt. Col. Tanvir Ahmed; Lt. Col Irfan Mirza and
Inspector Shahid Tanveer. The Pakistani JIT interacted on the Pathankot case with
officials of the National Investigation Agency (NIA). On 29 March, JIT was taken
to the scene of crime in Pathankot and were shown locations where the terrorists
infiltrated and subsequently hid, as well as where the encounter took place. The
route taken by the terrorists was also shown to the JIT, which was also handed over
evidence against individuals, including the members of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM),
who had conspired in the Pathankot attack and the handlers of terrorists who had
facilitated and guided them. The JIT informed that they were collecting admissible
evidence outside Pakistan under the provision of Section 188 of the CrPC of Pakistan,
that will legally enable them to be used in prosecution.
The NIA briefed the JIT on its investigations in the attack. The Pakistan JIT,
in turn, shared with NIA information on its own investigations thus far in Pakistan.
The interaction with JIT was held in accordance with terms of reference mutually
agreed on the basis of reciprocity and followed in accordance with extant legal
provisions. The case is under investigation in both countries and the Government is
in touch with relevant Pakistani authorities.

deaths of children caused by eating poisonous food during the last five years;
(b) the number of persons against whom action has been taken for resorting to
carelessness and corruption in this scheme, the State-wise details thereof; and
(c) the details of the steps taken to streamline this scheme in the last five years?

ZUBIN IRANI): (a) As per the records available in this Ministry, 280 cases of
various types of complaints have been reported during 2013 to 2016. The details
are given in the Statement-I (See below). 23 children had died in a tragic incident
that occurred in Navsrijit Government Primary School, Gandaman, Block Masrakh,
District Saran, Bihar on 16th July, 2013.
(b) The details of State-wise action taken on complaints are given in the Statement-II
(See below).
(c) The Government of India has issued updated guidelines on quality, safety
and hygiene on school level kitchens to all the States/UTs on 13th February, 2015.
These guidelines cover safety aspect of procurement, storage, preparation, serving,
waste disposal of food items as well as issues of personal hygiene of students and
those involved in cooking and serving of the food. In addition, the Mid Day Meal
Rules 2015, notified on 30th September, 2015 envisage that the School Management
Committees (SMC) shall also monitor the implementation of Mid Day Meal Scheme.
The Rules also provide for mandatory testing of food samples on a monthly basis

standards and quality. Further, instructions have been issued to the States/UTs that at
least one parent and preferably two should be present during serving of the meals
to students so that they can taste the food as well as certify the number of children
who partake of MDM. Besides the above, the MDM Guidelines also envisage
monitoring of 25% of the schools on quarterly basis by the officials of the States/UTs.
Management Information System (MIS) for Mid Day Meal Scheme is in existence
since June, 2012 and all the States/UTs are making annual and monthly data entry

into the portal on key indiators of the Scheme for online monitoring. Govenments
of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have started real time monitoiring of the Scheme by
Interactive Voice Response System intergrated with Management Information System.
In addition, the MIS for Mid Day Meal Scheme also has scope to integrate it with
Interactive Voice Response Systems (IVRS) as well as other digital systems of date
collection for near real time monitoring of the Scheme. Besides, the States/UTs have
established Grievance Redressal Mechanism at various levels in their States with a
toll free number for addressing the grievances of stakeholders.

Digital textbooks for reducing burden of bags
†517. SHRI MEGHRAJ JAIN:

SHRI MOHD. ALI KHAN:
(a) whether Government is aware that burden of books and bags is increasing
on small school-going children;
(b) whether mental and physical development of children is getting affected due
to this increasing burden; and
(c) whether Government has any plan to provide textbooks digitally on tablet
for reducing the burden of bags, and if so, the details thereof?

ZUBIN IRANI): (a) and (b) The Central Government has taken various steps to
reduce curriculum load on the basis of recommendations of the report “Learning
without Burden” of the National Advisory Committee Chaired by Prof. Yashpal. The
National Curriculum Framework (NCF-2005) brought a shift in the teaching learning
paradigm by focusing on child centered; process oriented constructivist approach which
discourages memorization and rote learning. Based on this, the National Council of
Educational Research and Training has developed revised syllabi and textbooks and
States have also revised their syllabi and textbooks accordingly so as to reduce
the burden on children. Further, in the 63rd meeting of Central Advisory Board of
Education (CABE) held on 19th August, 2015, the issue of lightening the burden
of school children was discussed with all States/UTs.
(c) E-Pathshala was launched during the National Conference on ICT in School
Education held on 7th November, 2015. It is a platform developed by National Council
for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) for showcasing and disseminating
all educational e-resources including textbooks, audio and video material, periodicals
and a variety of other print and non-print materials. The platform addresses the
dual challenge of reaching out to a diverse clientele and bridging the digital divide
(geographical, socio-cultural and linguistic), offering comparable quality of e-contents
and ensuring its free access at every time and every place. Students, teachers,
educators and parents can access e-books through multiple technology platforms i.e.
mobile phones and tablets and on web through laptops and desktops.

ZUBIN IRANI): (a) Budget allocation of ` 375.50 crore was made for the year
2015-16 under the Scheme for Providing Education to Madarsas/Minorities (SPEMM)
which includes the Scheme for Providing Quality Education in Madarsas (SPQEM),

of ` 39.65 crore which has lapsed at the end of the financial year. This was due
to non-receipt of adequate number of viable proposals from the State Governments.

ZUBIN IRANI): (a) The Government of India has prioritized education of girl child
and launched Swachh Vidyalaya initiative across the country for construction of
separate girls and boys toilets in all government schools. With the construction of
4,17,796 toilets in 2,61,400 elementary and secondary schools within a period of one
year from 15.08.2014 to 15.08.2015 under Swachh Vidyalaya initiative, all government
schools now have gender segregated toilets for girls and boys.
(b) The Department of School Education and Literacy supports States and Union
Territories (UTs) for construction of school infrastructure including toilets under
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan (RMSA)
based on Schedule of Rates (SoRs) notified by the respective State Government,
to improve access to elementary and secondary schools.

(b) what is the procedure to be adopted by the question paper setter to be

followed to assess the length of the question paper; and
(c) whether the question papers of the board examination are attempted and
tested for their genuine duration before they are finalized for the examination?

SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI): (a) There have been newspaper reports on the issue during

Linking promotion of teachers to performance of students
528. SHRIMATI WANSUK SYIEM: Will the Minister of HUMAN RESOURCE

(a) whether Government proposes to link the promotion of teachers to the

performance of their students in an attempt to bolster the newly launched School
Chalo Abhiyan 2016 aimed at improving enrollment and reducing drop-out rate;
(b) if so, whether the performance of students is a cumulative outcome of many

factors including capacity for absorption of what is taught, socio-economic ambience
at home rather than mere classroom teaching; and
(c) whether despite being labelled as a noble profession, teaching is essentially

a wage earning exercise like other vocational trades?

ZUBIN IRANI): (a) There is no such proposal at present to link promotion of teachers
to performance of students. Recruitment and service conditions of teachers are in the
domain of State Governments/UT Administrations. However, The Central Government

has a scheme of National Award to teachers to recognize good performance of
teachers across the country. School enrolment campaigns are launched by States at
the start of the school academic year for awareness generation to enrol out-of-school
children in schools and to reach out hitherto un-reached children in remote areas,
working children, girls, children belonging to SC and ST communities, and children
in difficult circumstances.
(b) and (c) The performance of students is related to multiple factors including
school and home environment. The Central Government has taken various steps to
ensure teacher accountability in Government and aided schools.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has

developed Performance Indicators for Elementary Education (PINDICS) to track
teacher performance and attendance in Government schools. PINDICS have been
shared with State Governments/UTs to assess teacher’s performance.
Additionally, teachers attendance is being monitored by States/UTs through

School Management Committees/School Management Development Committees/
Block Resource Centres/Clusters Resource Centres and in some cases by installing
bio-metric attendance system etc.
The Central Government has launched the ‘Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya National
Mission on Teachers and Teaching’ in December, 2014 with a vision to comprehensively
address all issues related to teachers, teaching, teacher preparation, professional
development, curriculum design, research in pedagogy and developing effective pedagogy.
As per the mandate of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education
(RTE) Act 2009, Government of India has notified the National Council for Teacher
Education (NCTE) as the Academic Authority at the national level for teacher
education and qualification. NCTE has prescribed teacher qualifications for various
levels. It has also made it mandatory that all persons holding teacher qualifications
as laid down by the NCTE must also pass a Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). These
two steps by NCTE are widely seen as efforts to improve the standards of teaching
with eventual positive impact on quality of education.

TMT Project. Due to a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Hawaii revoking
the construction permit on procedural grounds, the construction work at this site is
stalled. Efforts are being made by TMT authorities to resolve the matter which is
expected to take some time. However, keeping in view the huge investments and
efforts involved in this project, alternate sites are being explored both in Northern
and Southern Hemispheres. Hanle, Ladakh is one of the potential alternate sites
for this project which is being evaluated for hosting the telescope. India is a 10%
partner in the project. The Ministry of Science and Technology, through Department
of Science and Technology (DST) is funding this project in association with the
Department of Atomic Energy (DAE).
(c) The construction phase of the project will last for 8-10 years followed by
its installation. The telescope is expected to be operational for at least 50 years
post-installation. This mega project requires a large number of work force and other
resources. In case, Hanle, Ladakh is selected as the site for this project, some of
these requirements may be met from the Ladakh region. It is expected that the project
shall improve employment opportunities for the local people besides development
of the region. TMT being the largest optical and infrared telescope in the Northern
Hemisphere will strengthen the domestic programme of the country in this field and
lead to several discoveries which will inspire future generations. The project will
also help develop state-of-the-art high end technologies and expertise in the country.

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE

AND EMPOWERMENT (SHRI VIJAY SAMPLA): (a) As per Government of
India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961, since the subject matter of criminal
offences against members of the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes
(STs), including those under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes
(Prevention of Atrocities){PoA} Act, 1989, is allocated to the Ministry of Home
Affairs (MHA), the data in regard to offences under the PoA Act is generated
and provided by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), MHA. The latest
data provided by the NCRB pertains to calendar year 2014, according to which
the number of cases registered during 2014 in regard of offences of atrocities
against members of SCs under the PoA Act in conjunction with the IPC was
40,300, the State/UT-wise details are given in the Statement-I (See below).
Likewise, the number of such cases disposed of by courts during 2014 is given
in the Statement-II (See below).
Since ‘Police’ and ‘Public Order’ are State subjects under the Seventh Schedule
(List-II) to the Constitution of India, the State Governments and Union Territory
Administrations are primarily responsible for prevention, detection, registration,
investigation and prosecution of crimes within their jurisdiction including crimes
against members of SCs and STs. As such the responsibility for implementation
of the PoA Act also lies primarily with State Governments/Union Territory
Administrations. They are, however, addressed from time to time to implement
provisions of the PoA Act in letter and spirit.
(b) With an objective to deliver members of SCs and STs, a greater justice as
well as be an enhanced deterrent to the offenders, the Principal Act namely the
Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989
has been amended by the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention
of Atrocities) Amendment Act, 2015 (No.1 of 2016), and enforced with effect
from 26.01.2016. This is, however, not construed as creation of a new statute
but is only an amendment to the aforesaid Principal Act. As mentioned in answer
to part (a) of the Question, the latest data relating to cases registered under the
PoA Act, as provided by NCRB, is up to the year 2014.
(c) The data in regard to atrocity against Dalits in the educational institutions
is not available.

stands at 918 girls per 1000 boys in the age group of 0-6 years, against 927 in 2001
Census. The State-wise details are given in the Statement-I (See below). The reasons
behind the declining Child Sex Ratio in the country are primarily the socio-cultural
mindset having preference for son, considering girls as burden and preference for
small family. Further, easy availability of technology for sex determination tests and
abortion services act as a catalyst in the declining Child Sex Ratio.
(b) The scheme is being implemented through the State Government/UT

Administration. The Village Convergence and Facilitation Service (VCFS) is being
implemented in BBBP districts at Gram Panchayat (GP) level to generate awareness
regarding various schemes/programmes of the Central/State Government and mobilize
the community to create demand and access/avail such services at grass root level.

Padhao (BBBP) campaign to the States/UTs for implementation are given in the
Statement-III (See below).
(c) The overall objective of the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) Scheme is to
improve declining Child Sex Ratio in the country and create an enabling environment
for the education of girl child and this requires long-term attitudinal change. The
Scheme has completed its one year and is at the nascent stage of implementation. It
is too early to assess its impact at this stage but the Scheme has been received well.
In the last one year, several local innovative interventions have been demonstrated
by the districts with support from Department of WCD, Health and Education. This
has resulted in increased awareness, sensitization and conscious building around the
issue of declining CSR in the public domain.

CALLING ATTENTION TO MATTER OF URGENT PUBLIC IMPORTANCE
Imposition of Central Excise Duty on Gold Jewellery by Government

leading to resentment among jewellers in country
�ी राज बब्बर (उत्तराखं ड): उपसभापति महोदय, मे रा ध्यानाकर्षण �स्ताव सोने के व्यवसाय से
जुड़े लोगों को लेकर है , जो सोने की मै न्युफैक्चरिंग पर लगाई गई एक्साइज ड्यूटी से परे शान हैं ।
THE MINISTER OF FINANCE; THE MINISTER OF CORPORATE AFFAIRS;

AND THE MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND BROADCASTING (SHRI ARUN
JAITLEY): Sir, I have circulated a written response. That may be taken as read in
order to save the time of the House, and after the hon. Members have spoken, I
will respond to the queries.
"Sir, the matter raised is that because of the imposition of Excise Duty on gold
jewellery, there is an ongoing agitation by jewellers throughout the country. They
don't mind paying the tax but because of the procedure adopted by the Central
Excise, it will result in harassment of millions of artisans whose livelihood depends
on making of gold jewellery. The Government of India is marketing its policy of
'Make in India' but because of this, the artisans would lose their livelihood and it
is basically against the concept of 'Make in India'. The jewellers had gone for a
strike which continued for more than 40 days and still continuing. About 12 artisans/
jewellers have committed suicide.
The brief is that in 2016 Budget, a nominal excise duty of 1 per cent (without
input and capital goods credit) or 12.5 per cent (with credit) has been imposed on
articles of jewellery. However, articles of silver jewellery (other than those studded
with diamonds, ruby, emerald or sapphire) are exempt from this duty. Also, domestic
manufacturers can avail credit Service Tax paid on input services and utilize the
same for paying this 1 per cent excise duty.
2. Details of justification for the levy as well as procedural simplifications

carried out for its smooth implementation are as under:
2.1 Justification for the levy:
(a) Most of States levy 1 per cent VAT on jewellery.
(b) Even imitation jewellery attracts 6 per cent Excise Duty.
(c) Movement towards GST.

Calling Attention to... [28 April, 2016] ...Urgent Public Importance 445
(d) Statistics show that consumption of gold is highest by those in the

higher income group compared to those in the lower income group.
Thus, levy of excise duty will not affect the small consumers.
(e) Domestic demand of gold is almost solely met by imports. During

last three years, imports of gold were 625 MT, 1100 MT and 936
MT, resulting in substantial outflow of precious foreign exchange.
(f) Gold attracts import duty of 10 per cent. Gold jewellery attracts
15 per cent import duty. However, India has signed FTA with
many countries, wherein import of gold jewellery is allowed at nil
preferential rate of import duty.
(g) Imports of gold jewellery during 2014-15 and 2015-16 (Annualized)

were 'as under:
Financial Year Total imports Imports under FTA
2014-15 3903 917
2015-16 5660 2530
(Annualized)
(h) This levy will result in 12.5 per cent CVD on imports of jewellery,
checking these imports and providing additional protection to domestic
industry.
2.2 Safeguards and simplifications made during its imposition for small
jewellers and artisans:
(a) Clearances up to ` 6 crore in a financial year [if clearances during

preceding year were less than ` 12 crore] are exempt from this
duty.
(b) These limits are much higher than the general SSI exemption and
eligibility limits of ` 1.5 crore and ` 4 crore respectively.
(c) Clearances up to ` 50 lakh during March 2016 [if clearances during

2014-15 were less than ` 12 crore] are also exempt from excise
duty.
(d) In case of manufacture of jewellery on job work basis, the liability

to take registration, pay duty and file returns, etc., is on principal
manufacturer and not job worker or artisans.
(e) Thus, small jewellers and artisans are not covered within the ambit
of this levy.
2.3 Procedural simplification to ensure smooth compliance and hassle-free

administration, is as under:
(a) Centralized Registration has been allowed for jewellers with

centralized accounts.
(b) Online registration within two working days, with no post registration
physical verification of the premises.
(c) No requirement of declaring pre-budget stocks with no stock

verification.
(d) Jeweller's private records or records for State VAT or Bureau of

Indian Standards to be accepted for all Central Excise purposes.
(e) Certificate by a Chartered Accountant about clearances during 2014-15

or 2015-16 to be accepted for determining the eligibility to Excise
Duty exemption for the month of March, 2016, or for the financial
year 2016-17.
(f) Jewellers to file only a simplified quarterly return, as against monthly

return to be filed by other manufacturers of excisable goods.
3. In this context, Finance Minister, during the discussions on General Budget

in Lok Sabha on 14.03.2016, has already replied as under:-
"There are several issues which Members have raised. Many Members across
have raised the issue of one per cent excise duty on jewellery. Sir, let me just make
it clear. मैं माननीय सदस्यों को स्पष्ट कर दूं , आपकी जिस दिन कृपा होगी और जीएसटी
आएगा, तब हर वस्तु जीएसटी में आएगी और स्वाभाविक है कि गोल्ड भी आएगा। यह उसकी
तैयारी है । पहले भी सरकारें करती रही हैं और अब भी कर रही हैं । अब लगता है कि शायद
जल्दी आएगा। उस परिस्थि‍ति में यह किसी छोटे उद्योगी पर नहीं लग रहा है । जिनका पिछले वर्ष
12 करोड़ रूपए का टर्न ओवर है और आने वाले वर्ष में हर साल छ: करोड़ या उससे ज्यादा
होगी, यह केवल ि‍�सिपल ट्रेडर पर लगेगा, बनाने वाले पर नहीं लगेगा, यह स्पष्ट इंस्ट्रक्शन है ।
तीसरी बात, माननीय सदस्य �ी गोपाल शेट्टी और अन्य माननीय सदस्यों ने कहा, इसकी
स्पष्ट इंस्ट्रक्शंस भी दे दी गई हैं कि कोई इंस्पेक्टर नहीं जाएगा, क्योंकि इसमें सेल्फ सर्टिफिकेशन
है । राज्यों में जिस वैल्यू पर वैट दे ते हैं या सीए का जो सर्टिफिकेट होगा, केवल उसी के बेस पर
होगा। यह सेल्फ सर्टिफिकेशन से होगा, क्योंकि हर वस्तु जीएसटी के दायरे में आती है , इसलिए
यह उसकी तैयारी है । किसी का हे रेसमें ट नहीं होगा, कोई इंस्पेक्शन के लिए नहीं जाएगा, सिर्फ
सर्टिफिकेशन होगा, इसकी क्लि‍यर इंस्ट्रक्शंस हम लोगों ने दे दी हैं ।''
4. Additionally, Government has also constituted a sub-committee of the High

Level Committee to interact with Trade and Industry on Tax laws. Terms of reference
of the sub-committee include the issues related to compliance procedure for the
excise duty, including records to be maintained and any other administrative issues
that may be relevant.
5. In this context, a circular has also been issued by the Government:

(i) to further extend the time limit for taking registration of an establishment
of a jeweller (which is going to expire on 30.04.2016) up to 01.07.2016;
and
(ii) though, the liability for payment of Central Excise Duty will be with
effect from 1st March, 2016, the assessee jewellers may make the
payment of excise duty for the months of March, 2016; April, 2016
and May, 2016, along with the payment of excise duty for the month
of June, 2016.
6. Further, till date, 206 excise registrations have been granted by the Central
Excise authorities to the jewellery manufacturers.
7. Thus, the apprehensions conveyed in the Calling Attention Notice that Central
Excise will result in harassment of millions of artisans is not correct, as enough
safeguards/exceptions have been created for smooth initiation of jewellery trade into
the levy with nearly zero departmental interface."
�ी राज बब्बर: उपसभापति महोदय, मुझे वित्त मं �ी जी को यह बताना है कि इन्होंने सोने

की मै न्युफैक्चरिंग पर जो एक्साइज ड्यूटी लगाई है , उसके कारण इस व्यवसाय से जुड़े लोग
पिछले 43 दिन से लगातार सड़कों पर हैं । इस व्यवसाय में एक तरफ कॉरपोरे ट सुनार है , जिसको
बैंकों से बड़े -बडे ़ लोन मिलते हैं , जो बडे ़-बडे ़ �ांड एम्बेसडर के साथ इश्तार करता है और जो
आज बड़ा खुश है । आज ही के अखबार में एक इश्तहार आया है , जिसमें वह कह रहा है कि
our annual sale is back. यानी, एक तरफ उं गलियों पर गिने जाने वाले ये चंद कॉरपोरे ट
सुनार इश्तहार दे रहे हैं ...
�ी के. सी. त्यागी (बिहार): सुनार नहीं ज्वैलर्स।
�ी राज बब्बर: ज्वैलर्स। मुझे खुशी होती है , �ाउड होता है जब मैं अपने आपको सुनार
कहता हूं , इसमें कोई बुराई नहीं है । एक तरफ ये ज्वैलर्स हैं , दू सरी तरफ एक सामान्य सुनार है
जो हमें गांवों में मिलता है , कस्बों में मिलता है , मोहल्लों में छोटी-छोटी दु कानों पर मिलता है ,
कॉलोनियों में , बाजारों में , शहरों में मिलता है । आज वह अपनी दु कानों पर ताला लगाकर सड़कों
पर घूम रहा है । महोदय, सरकार का मानना है कि एक्साइज ड्यूटी लगाकर वे काले धन की
बढ़त को रोकने वाले हैं , इसलिए वे सोने के व्यवसाय को regulate करना चाह रहे हैं । जहां तक
काले धन को रोकने का सवाल है , उसकी बढ़त को रोकने का सवाल है , उसको रोकने के लिए
किसी की मनाही नहीं है , यूपीए सरकार ने भी किया था। सन् 2012 में वे इस कानू न को लाए
थे, लेकिन कानू न को लाने के बाद जब उन्होंने इसकी व्यावहारिकता को दे खा, जब जनता के
representations आए, इस व्यवसाय से जुड़े लोगों ने जब उनसे मुलाकात की तो उन्होंने अपनी
पेचीदगियां, अपनी परे शानियां उन्हें बतायी, जिनको लेकर व्यावहारिकता के रूप में उस वक्त के
[�ी राज बब्बर]

वित्त मं �ी ने, जो अब राष्ट्रपति हैं , इसे वापस ले लिया, लेकिन आज के वित्त मं �ी यह साबित
करना चाहते हैं कि वे मजबूत सरकार के मं �ी हैं , जनता की सरकार के मं �ी नही हैं । ऐसा
लग रहा है कि जैसे हीर के अब्बा अटल हैं । उनको लगता है कि यह राझें की कोई कहानी है
— ऐसा नहीं है । इस दे श का जो परम्परागत व्यवसाय है , उससे जुडे़ हु ए जो लोग हैं , वे आज
सड़को पर हैं । आप कहते हैं कि जिन लोगों का turnover 6 करोड़ से कम है , उन पर यह
फैसला लागू नहीं होगा। वे लोग मा� अपना एक्साइज जमा करें गे और जो भी लिखा-पढ़ी वे दें गे,
उसको मान लिया जाएगा। कोई इंस्पेक्टर नहीं आएगा। उनके ऊपर किसी भी तरह का, पुलिस
का या इंस्पेक्टर का दबाव नहीं होगा। अगर ऐसा है तो क्या इस फैसले को लाने से पहले वित्त
मं �ी जी ने इस तरह का कोई सर्वे कराया था, जिसमें इनके पास इस तरह की गिनती हो कि
6 करोड़ की turnover के नीचे आने वाले लोग कितने हैं ? कितने लोग इस व्यवसाय से जुड़े हु ए
हैं , उनकी गिनती क्या है , वे इसमें कितना पैसा लगाते हैं ? अगर ऐसी कोई गिनती इनके पास
है तो उसे सभा पटल पर रखें , ताकि उनको कहा जा सके। अगर इस तरह कोई सर्वे इन्होंने
कराया है , तो उसके बारे में बताएं। उन लोगों का यह कहना है कि हम बहु त छोटे व्यवसायी हैं ,
हमारी इतनी आमदनी नहीं है , हमारा इतना turnover नहीं है । वे लोग सिर्फ एक बात से डरते
हैं कि अगर एक्साइज लग जाएगा, तो एक्साइज के सारे कानू न उन पर लागू होंगे। ये कहते हैं
कि ऐसा नहीं होगा। इसकी क्या गारं टी है ? इस बात से वे लोग डरे हु ए हैं । अगर ये सदन में
समझाएंगे, तो हम उन्हें बताएंगे। वे लोग हमारे पास आते हैं , इनके लोगों के पास भी आते हैं ,
अगर उनको इस बारे में बताएंगे तो शायद उनको राहत मिलेगी — लेकिन ऐसा है नहीं। किस
दिन तक ये एक्साइज के कानू नों को उन पर लागू नहीं होने दें गे, यह एक भय है ।
दू सरा, ये भी इस बात को मानते हैं , कि जो जायज़ तरीके से सोना बाहर से आता है , उसका
हिसाब सरकार के पास भी है , व्यापारी भी दे दे ता है । उस हिसाब में किसी तरह की कोई गफलत
नहीं है , लेकिन जो काले धन की खपत होती है , वह तस्करी के सोने से होती है । जो तस्करी
का सोना यहां आता है , उससे काला धन खपत में आता है । इस व्यवसाय में जो कारीगर हैं , जो
डे ढ़ से दो करोड़ कारीगर इससे जुड़े हु ए हैं , उन लोगों को मालूम नहीं होता कि वह काले धन
का सोना है या सफेद धन का सोना है । वे सोने के ऊपर काम करते हैं और उसके बाद वह
आभूषण मार्किट में चला जाता है , वह काला धन खप जाता है । मैं कहना चाहता हूं कि ये दो
साल से इस सरकार में हैं , इन्होंने ऐसी कौन-सी योजना बनायी, जबकि इन्हें मालूम है कि जो
तस्करी का सोना आता है , स्मगलिंग का सोना आता है , वह काले धन के लिए इस्तेमाल होता
है । उस तस्करी के सोने को रोकने के लिए क्या इन्होंने कोई योजना बनायी? क्या ऐसा सोना
जब्त हु आ? क्या इनके पास ऐसे कोई आंकड़े हैं जिनसे यह पता लगे कि इतने काले धन की
उसमें खपत हु ई? अगर एेसा कोई आंकड़ा है , तो बताइए। अगर इस तरह का आंकड़ा इनकी
जानकारी में है , तो इसका मतलब है कि सरकार जानती है कि स्मगलिंग हो रही है , तस्करी
हो रही है , यानी तस्कर को आने का रास्ता मिल रहा है , तस्कर सोना लेकर यहां पर आ रहा
हे , लेकिन सरकार के पास इस तरह का कोई मापदं ड अभी नजर नहीं आया और न ही जनता
के सामने आया है कि यह समझ में आ सके कि काले धन की सुनार कैसे खपत कर रहा है ?
...(समय की घंटी)... मान्यवर, यह कहा जा रहा है कि 950 टन सोना इन लोगों ने जो पिछली
बार आया, उसका पूरा हिसाब है ।
उपसभापति महोदय, अगर सच्चाई पूछें, तो काला धन सिर्फ बहाना है । असल में इन्हें अपने
सम्मानित कॉरपोरे ट सुनारों को लेकर आना है , जो मा� गिनतियों में हैं । मैं ज्यादा समय नहीं
लूंगा। मैं माननीय वित्त मं �ी जी को ध्यान दिलाना चाहूं गा कि 28 मार्च, 2012 शाम को 7.09 बजे
एक ट्वीट आया। याद होगा उस ट्वीट में था कि एक फीसदी एक्साइज ड्यूटी सरासर गलत
है । सरकार को तुरंत इसे वापस ले लेना चाहिए। मि�ों, यह कोई और नहीं था, ये गुजरात के
एक्स सी.एम. थे, जो आज के �धान मं �ी हैं । ऐसा इन दो सालों में क्या हो गया कि आज के
�धान मं �ी को उस समय कही हु ई बात को पलटना पड़ गया? वक्त हु आ है , ज्यादा न कहते
हु ए, मे रे ख्याल से मे री बात को समझने की कोशिश की जाएगी। हम चाहते हैं कि किसी भी
तरीके से काले धन की रूकावट हो, लेकिन इस तरह के कानू न सामने न आएं, जिसके अंदर
डे ढ़ करोड़ से ज्यादा artisans बेरोजगार हो जाएं या वे गुनाह करने की तरफ चले जाएं या वे
केले बेचना शुरू कर दें । ...(समय की घंटी)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay. Please conclude.
�ी राज बब्बर: मैं अपील करता हूं कि इस कानू न को, इस काले कानू न को जो पांच करोड़
से ज्यादा लोगों को �भावित कर रहा है , इसको वापस ले लिया जाए। इसमें कोई तुगलकी फरमान
नहीं लिखा जाए, बल्कि‍ जनता के हित में इसे वापस लिया जाए।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you. Now, Shri D. Raja. Put your
questions in three minutes.
SHRI ARUN JAITLEY: Are the Communists also backing for gold?
SHRI D. RAJA (Tamil Nadu): No, no; I am coming to that point. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Rajas always use gold. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI D. RAJA: If you ask me about the position of Communists on gold, it

is totally different. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: No, no; for Rajas, gold is always ...(Interruptions)...
Now, you put the question. ...(Interruptions)...
�ी अ�ण जेटली: ये लोग सूट-बूट के खिलाफ हैं और सोने के पक्ष में हैं ।
SHRI D. RAJA: Now I am coming to that point. There is an agitation in the

country. The note circulated by Arunji clearly says at point 2.1 (d) that "Statistics
show that consumption of gold is highest by those in the higher income group
compared to those in the lower income group. Thus levy of excise duty will not affect
the small consumers." Then again, at point 2.2 (d) it says, "In case of manufacture
of jewellery on job work basis, the liability to take registration, pay duty and file
returns etc., is on principal manufacturer and not job workers or artisans." There
are thousands of workers in the industry and it is an unorganized sector. There is a
[Shri D. Raja]
perception that these measures may be turned against the interests of those workers.
My question is: Will the Finance Minister assure those workers, it is an unorganized
sector, that their interests will be protected? How are you going to protect their
interests? I would like to know from the Finance Minister what assurance he will
be giving. That is my primary concern. That is what I am saying. As far as gold
is concerned, it plays an important role not only in aesthetics but in economy also.
In economy, it has become a source of black money and unaccounted money. Any
Government, which makes efforts to unearth black money and tap its source, we will
be willing to support that. My question is about workers – workers in the industry,
which is an unorganised sector. They should not be affected adversely. Government
must protect their interest. How are you going to do that? What is your thinking?
Is there any legislative measure to protect their interest in the coming days, if not
now? ...(Interruptions)... That is what I am saying.
Finally, I will finish with one point. Even when Mr. Morarji Desai was there
some fifty years back, he also tried some measures. It led to some suicides those
days. Now also, there is agitation in the country. In the background of this agitation,
the Finance Minister should assure that workers will not be subjected to some kind
of adverse impact by these measures and the small artisans or small manufacturers
will not be affected. Whether that assurance, the Finance Minister will give, is what
I am asking. Thank you.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Shri Naresh Agrawal. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN (West Bengal): Sir, just one sentence. Will you
kindly permit?
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: No, no. Only after all these. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: Just one sentence! I am not speaking. I would like
to add one sentence just in continuation with Mr. D. Raja that just like the burden
of indirect tax is passed on to the consumers, similarly, this kind of problem, that
has been created for jewellers, they are just passing on to the workers in terms of
their job losses. Kindly take care of that. That is important.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay. Now, Shri Naresh Agrawal. आप तीन मिनट
के अंदर पूछिए।
�ी नरे श अ�वाल (उत्तर �दे श): माननीय उपसभापति जी, जब बजट पर चर्चा हो रही थी,
तब भी मैं ने यह बात उठाई थी। माननीय वित्त मं �ी जी, आप तो दिल्ली के रहने वाले हैं , मे रे
ख्याल से अधिकांश jewellers आपसे मिले हैं । उन्होंने अपनी बात भी आपके सम्मुख रखी और आप
खुद स्वीकार कर रहे हैं कि jewellers tax दे ने से इन्कार नहीं कर रहे हैं । आप एक per cent
की जगह दो per cent tax लगा लीजिए। चाहे आप इसको वैट के रूप में लगा दीजिए या other
tax के रूप में लगा दीजिए। Jewellers का विरोध excise का है । यह excise का विरोध क्यों है ?
आप यह भी स्वीकार कर रहे हैं 12 लोगों ने आत्महत्या कर ली है । मैं ने उस समय भी कहा था
कि उनका excise से विरोध इसलिए है कि आपका Excise Department most* Department
है । वे जानते हैं कि जिस दिन excise वाले... यह बिल्कु ल क्लीयर है , उनका विरोध करने का
सिर्फ यही reason है । जब Excise Department वाला खाकी ड्रैस पहनकर वहां पहुुं च जाएगा,
तो कितना उत्पीड़न करे गा, कितना टै क्स लगाएगा, उनका विरोध यह है । आपने जो कहा, मैं ने
कह दिया कि उनके यहां कोई Excise Department वाला नहीं जाएगा। जो Jewellers लिखकर
दे दें गे, हम उसको मान लेंगे। आप मालूम तो करिए कि Excise Departjment वाले सब पहुं च
गए हैं या नहीं। आज मुझसे मुजफ्फरनगर वाले कहने आए हैं । जब मैं घर से चला, तो मुझसे
मुजफ्फरनगर वाले कहने आए कि खाकी वर्दी पहन के Excise Department वाले सब पहुं च गए
हैं । ये सब आपके वोटर्स हैं । जब आप GST लागू करने जा ही रहे हैं और आप कहते हैं कि यह
एक per cent GST की �ि‍�या की यह शुरूआत है । यह GST इन्होंने बनाया था। एक बार �णब
जी ने हमें बुलाकर कहा कि नरे श जी GST पास करवा दीजिए। आज पता नहीं क्यों उनका विरोध
है , मैं इसको समझ नहीं पा रहा हूं । ज‍ब बन रहा है , GST लागू हो रहा है , आज नहीं तो कल
लागू हो ही जाएगा, तो फिर GST के बाद सब tax के दायरे में आ ही जाएंगे। ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी आनन्द शर्मा (हिमाचल �दे श): जब �णब जी ने आपसे कहा, तब आपने क्या इनसे
बात की थी?
�ी नरे श अ�वाल: हम उस समय इनसे क्यों बात करते? उस समय आप सत्ता में थे, तो
आपसे बात करते। तब तो हम आपको बराबर चेतावनी दे ते रहे कि आप जो कर रहे हैं , अच्छा
नहीं कर रहे हैं ।
मैं यह कह रहा हूं कि जब आप GST लागू करने जा रहे हैं , तो कोई भी jeweller GST का
विरोध नहीं कर रहा है , क्योंकि GST से उनका उत्पीड़न होने नहीं जा रहा है । जब उनका संबंध
एक एक्साइज ड्यूटी से है , जब लोग मर भी रहे हैं , तो आप जिद क्यों पकड़े हु ए हैं ? जैसा कि
राजा साहब ने कहा, तपन दादा ने कहा कि छोटे ज्वेलर्स हैं , जो ज्वेलरी के शिल्पकार हैं , वे
तमाम लोग शिल्पकारी छोड़कर हड़ताल में आ गए, वे तमाम लोग बेरोजगार हो गए, इसलिए आप
उस जिद को छोडि़ए। आप कम से कम यही बता दीजिए कि इतने दिनों में अभी तक आपका
कितना नु कसान हु आ है ? अगर उनकी हड़ताल जारी है , तो ज्यादा अच्छा है कि आप एक घोषणा
कर दीजिए। आप एक परसेंट टै क्स लगाइए, लेकिन उसको दू सरे रूप में लगा लीजिए। आप उन
पर एक्साइज का एक बोझ डाल रहे हैं , ऊपर से एक्साइज लॉ लगा है , मैं चाहू गा कि आप यह
बता दें क्या आज इसकी घोषणा करें गे या नहीं?
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Thank you for sticking to the time-limit. Now,
Kumari Selja.
कुमारी शै लजा (हरियाणा): उपसभापति जी, मैं बहु त संक्षेप में बोलना चाहूं गी।
*Expunged as ordered by the Chair.

[कुमारी शैलजा]
महोदय, यह बहु त ही अहम मुद्दा है और हमने पिछले स� में फर्स्ट हाफ में भी इस मुद्दे को
उठाया था। आज आप दे ख रहे हैं कि दे श में लाखों, करोड़ों लोग परे शान हैं । लाखों लोग, जो
सर्राफा बाजार से जुड़े हैं , पीयूष जी भी यहां पर मौजूद हैं , मे रा खुद का इस विषय से इसलिए
ताल्लुक है , क्योंकि अंबाला क्षे� में एक बहु त बड़ा सर्राफा बाजार है । पूरे दे श में न जाने कितने
लोग इससे जुडे हैं । एक तो छोटा ज्वेलर है और दू सरी ओर जो आर्टिजन है , वह भी इसके साथ
जुड़ा हु आ है । सर, यह हमारे दे श की परम्परा रही है और यह परम्परा बडे ़-बड़े �ांडेड ज्वेलर्स
ने कायम नहीं की है । हम जो यहां तक पहंु चे हैं , यह उनके आर्ट, जो कि from father to son
से यहां तक पहुं चा है । आज यह खत्म होने के कगार पर है । वे एकदम बरबादी के कगार पर
खडे़ हैं। बेचारे छोटे ज्वेलर्स क्या करेंगे? मुझसे पूर्व मेरे साथियों ने टैक्स के बारे में कहा। यहां
बात टै क्स की नहीं है , उससे उनका कोई विरोध नहीं है , लेकिन जिस तरह से आप एक ओर
ease of doing business की बात करते हैं तो क्या ease of doing business सिर्फ विदे शी
लोगों या बड़े कॉरपोरे ट्स के लिए हैं ? जो छोटे लोग हैं , जो अपनी छोटी-छोटी ज्वेलरी, एक
आर्ट, जिसको उन्होंने कायम रखा हु आ है , ईवन गांव तक में , छोटे शहरों तक में जो किसान
आता है , वह छोटी ज्वेलरी खरीदता है , वह कोई बड़ी ज्वेलरी नहीं खरीदता, वह बड़े -बडे ़ शहरों
में नहीं जाता, इसलिए उनको कायम रखने के लिए, उनको जिंदा रखने के लिए इस मुद्दे पर
सोचना होगा। जो छोटा आर्टिजन है , उसके बारे में सोचना होगा। ज्वेलरी में कोई नग जड़े गा,
कोई उसका खाका बनाएगा, कोई कुछ करे गा, कोई कुछ करे गा, इस तरह से कितने ही लोग
इसके साथ जुड़े हु ए हैं । आज उनको जिंदा रखने की बात है । सर, जहां तक ज्वेलरी की बात
है , तो उसको मं दिरों में भी चढ़ाया जाता है । लोग कोई �ांडेड ज्वेलरी खरीदकर मं दिरों में नहीं
चढ़ाते हैं । ऐसा बड़े सेठ या धनाढ्य लोग करते होंगे, लेकिन यह आाम आदमी से जुड़ी बात
है , छोटे ज्वेलर से जुड़ी बात है । कितने लोग स्युसाइड कर चुके हैं और कितने ऐसे हैं जो इस
कगार पर खड़े हैं । वे इनके सामने इतना रो रहे हैं , वे कितनी ही बार इनसे मिले हैं । जो छोटा
कारीगर है , वह कहां जाएगा? सर, ऐसे करोड़ों लोग हैं । वे कारीगर, जो जगह-जगह, कस्बों में ,
छोटे गांवों में हैं , उनका क्या होगा? मे री इस सरकार से रिक्वेस्ट है , मं ‍ि�यों से िरक्वेस्ट है कि
कृपया इसको दु बारा से दे खें। मे रा सवाल यही है कि क्या आप इसे rollback करने जा रहे हैं ?
यदि आप इसको rollback करें गे, तो हम आपको सभी की आेर से धन्यवाद दें गे कि आपने सबकी
पीड़ा को समझा। इसलिए कृपया इस पीड़ा को समझिए और इसे rollback कीजिए।
�ी शरद यादव (बिहार): उपसभापति जी, मं �ी जी चले गए हैं ...(व्यवधान)...
सूक्ष्म, लघु और मध्यम उद्यम मं �ालय में राज्य मं �ी (�ी गिरिराज सिंह): आ रहे हैं ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: He will come back. आप बोलिए।
�ी गिरिराज सिंह: छोटे साहब बैठे हैं । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी शरद यादव: ठीक है ...(व्यवधान)... मैं ने मजाक में कहा ...(व्यवधान)... छे डखानी के
लिए कहा। इस सरकार का ''कौशल विकास'' एक बड़ा कार्य�म है । आपने यह मामूली काम
हाथ में नहीं लिया है , मैं इसे बड़ा काम मानता हूं । यदि हिन्दुस्तान मं एक-दो चीजों का नाम
लिया जाए तो हिन्दुस्तान की जो खे ती है , उस खे ती के बाद हिन्दुस्तान में सबसे ज्यादा जिससे

रोजगार मिलता है या रोजगार बनता है , वह दस्तकारों से बनता है । आज भी हिंदु स्तान का
एक्सपोर्ट कायम है । सब तरह के बाजार ठप हो गए, लेकिन जो हिंदु स्तान के दस्तकार हैं , हाथ
से सामान बनाने वाले कारीगर हैं , उनके सामान का एक्सपोर्ट आज भी जारी है । मैं मं �ी रहा
हूं , मुझे मालूम है । यह जो हिंदु स्तान है , वह ताजमहल है , खजुराहो है , अजंता है , एलोरा है ।
यह उन उं गलियों का कमाल है । यदि इस दे श के पास कोई ताकत है , तो उन उं गलियों की है ।
हिंदु स्तान में जो गुलामी आई, वह दस्तकारी की, खास कर जो कपड़ों के कारीगर हैं , उनकी
बदहाली के चलते आई। दु निया के बाजार में आपका सबसे ज्यादा �तबा हिंदु स्तान के हाथ से
बने हु ए सामान के कारीगरों की वजह से था, खास कर कपड़े वालों का रूतबा था। आज भी
कपड़े में बहु त बड़ा रोजगार है । आज भी जो पत्थर के कारीगर हैं , जो खजुराहो है , ताजमहल
है , कोणार्क है , दु नियां उन्हें दे खने आती है । दु निया आपको कहीं दे खने नहीं अाती है , न आपसे
कोई �भावित है । हिन्दुस्तान के हमारे जो पुरखे थे, जिनकी उं गलियों में कमाल था, उनको दे खने
के लिए दु निया भर के लोग यहां आते हैं । जब वे ताजमहल और खजुराहो को दे खने आते हैं ,
तो उनकी आंखें चौंक जाती हैं । इसलिए दस्तकारों के हक में मैं खड़ा हूं । मैं अरूण जी से पूछना
चाहता हूं कि इनकी संख्या कितनी है ? मैं पक्के तौर पर नहीं कह सकता, कोई पांच करोड़ कह
रहा है , कोई दो करोड़ कह रहा है , लेकिन इतना जरूर है कि जो हाथ के कारीगर हैं , वे पत्थर
के कारीगर हैं , कपडे ़ के हैं और बड़ी तादाद में सबसे ज्यादा बंगाल से लोग इस धंधे में आते हैं ।
ये जो सिर्फ daily wages workers होते हैं , मजदू र टाइप के लोग होते हैं , वे अपनी उं गलियों का
ही पैसा खाते हैं । उनकी उं गलियों में ही कमाल है , इसलिए उन उं गली वालों के ऊपर ध्यान दे ने
की जरूरत है । आप खास कर skill development के लिए स्कू ल खोल रहे हैं , कॉलेज खोल रहे
हैं , एक तरफ आप इसका विस्तार करना चाहते हैं अौर दू सरी तरफ ये दस्तकार, ये जो कौशल
वर्कर्स हैं , खास कर सोने में , चांदी में , इनके रोजगार को आप छीन रहे हैं । अगर आप उनके
रोजगार पर excise duty लगाएंगे, तो यह बडे ़ लोगों पर नहीं लगेगी। ये बडे ़ लोग उसे उन्हीं
से वसूल करें गे, उनकी मजदू री घटाएंगे। इससे कई तरह की बीमारियां पैदा होगी। मे री आपसे
विनती है कि आप इस मामले की गहराई में जाइए। हिन्दुस्तान में महात्मा गांधी जी आजादी
की लड़ाई लड़ते-लड़ते दस्तकार हो गए थे। दस्तकार इस दे श की इतनी बड़ी आबादी है और
आपने जो कार्य�म हाथ में लिया है , उस कार्य�म में आप इतने बडे पैमाने पर हिन्दुस्तान का
पैसा खर्च करने वाले हैं , तो ये जो दस्तकार लोग हैं , इसमें इनकी चिंता कैसे होगी, आप इसके
ऊपर ध्यान दीजिए। Excise duty के लिए आप कोई और तरीका निकालिए। सर्राफा वाले लोगों
ने आपको बताया है , आप उस तरीके से पैसा ले लीजिए, लेकिन ये जो दस्तकार लोग हैं , आप
उनको बचाइए। यदि हिन्दुस्तान की कोई खूबी है , कोई ताकत है , तो वह खे ती है और हिन्दुस्तान
के दस्तकार हैं । आप उन्हें बचाने का काम करिए, यही मे री आपसे विनती है ।
SHRI ANIL DESAI (Maharashtra): Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, probably, in the
last whole month, the month of March, not only in Mumbai, Maharashtra but in
entire India, jewellers had congregated in big numbers not only at Jantar Mantar but
in every State and there was a show of solidarity and unity among them over one
per cent excise duty applied on gold. That is being opposed and the reason behind
it is this. They are not only opposed to the levying of one per cent excise duty.
[Shri Anil Desai]

More so, they are afraid that the Inspector Raj, which was there under the Gold
Control Act, will again come into being and that will really demolish the industry.
It is not only affecting the jewellers or the traders or the business of the people
who are involved in it, but also affecting small people, right from small artisans,
goldsmiths, etc. This somehow has a cascading effect on the entire economy. It is
because gold has not only an intrinsic value but it has a special cultural value also.
People are emotionally attached to it. Government’s argument is that only higher strata
of the society are into the maximum consumption of gold. It is not so. Today, even
lower middle class and middle class people have attachment towards gold. Today,
you happen to see that the gold which was purchased in 60s and 70s has a real
value for it. More than that they are emotionally attached to it because in every
ceremony, in every festival gold is being bought. It has some significant value in
the minds of the people of India.
The Government has a valid argument. Besides this, they have come out with
how it will affect, how the lower strata of the society engaged in the business
like artisans or goldsmiths will not be affected by it. The main threat to them
is the Inspector Raj which will continue. The hon. Finance Minister has assured
gold traders and their Federations that they will not be harassed by the Excise
Department. Immediately after that assurance just two or three days back, gold
traders have been receiving notices from the Department saying that they have go
through certain things to comply with. With this action, whatever fear they had is
increasing day by day. That shows whether the policy makers and tax officials do
they have disconnect in this?
Besides this the GST is on the way. Now one per cent excise duty which is
being levied that can be definitely be deferred till GST comes into being. In this
regard, the Chief Economic Adviser, Shri Arvind Subramaniam has suggested that
gold can be taxed under the GST between 2 and 6 per cent where the average tax
will be between 16 and 17 per cent. If that measure is to be taken up in the GST
which is on the way, then, why couldn't the Government defer this step? So, my
humble request to the hon. Finance Minister is that this one per cent levy be taken
off, and it should be deferred till the GST is legislated. Thank you.
�ी भूपिंदर सिंह (ओडिशा): डिप्टी चेयरमै न सर, ओडिशा स्वर्ण आभूषणों के काम में सबसे
आगे माना जाता है । कटक का जो फिलि�ी वर्क है , उस काम को सारी दु निया में सबसे अच्छी
तरह हमारे यहां के कारीगर करते हैं । ओडिशा के गांव-गांव में केवल सोने के ऊपर ही काम नहीं
किया जाता, बल्कि‍ चाहे पत्थर का काम हो, रे त का काम हो या लकड़ी का काम हो, हर चीज
के ऊपर वहां बारीकी से काम किया जाता है । जैसा शरद यादव जी ने बार-बार बोला, हिन्दुस्तान
के जो आर्टिजन्स हैं , उनकी पीढ़ी को बचाने की ओर हमें ध्यान दे ना चाहिए।
सर, उनका एक ही एि‍�हें शन है कि जो एक �तिशत एक्साइज ड्यूटी है , उसको लेकर वे

लोग इंस्पेक्टर राज से डर रहे हैं , लेकिन अापने जो विस्तार से यहां बताया है , उससे काफी
कंफ्यूजन हो रहा है । एक बात यह है कि जिसका 12 करोड़ है , उसको आप 6 करोड़ तक
ले आए हैं और आप दे खेंगे कि हर जगह पर वैट भी एक �तिशत नहीं है । बाकी के टै क्सेज
में भी दे श में यूनिफॉर्मिटी नहीं है । क्या आप डरते हैं कि आने वाले दिनों में जीएसटी आ ही
नहीं सकता? अगर आप जीएसटी लाना चाहते हैं और जीएसटी को आना ही है , तब तो इन
सब टै क्सेज की जरूरत ही नहीं पडे ़गी, तब तो ऑटोमे टिकली यह सब उसमें आ जाएगा।
हम लोगों को इसमें कितना फायदा हो रहा है ? उन्होंने जो 43 दिन की स्ट्राइक की है ,

उनका कहना है कि उससे उनका जो 56 हजार करोड़ रूपये का मार्के ट व्यापार था, उसका
नु कसान हु आ है । सरकार तो 56 लाख करोड़ का नु कसान भी सह सकती है , लेकिन वास्तव
में वह नु कसान भी सरकार नहीं सहती है , उस नु कसान की भरपाई भी आम जनता के टै क्स
से होती है । आखिरकार सरकार के पास जो भी पैसा आता है , वह आम जनता से ही आता है ।
महोदय, मैं आपको बताना चाहता हूं कि पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी वे इसी काम को करते आ रहे हैं ।
इसमें जो ि‍�मियर गोल्ड है या ि‍�मियर सोना है , उसके ऊपर आप टै क्स लीजिए, लेकिन कम से
कम यह क्लीयर कर दीजिए कि ऑर्नामें ट्स पर हम एक पैसा भी नहीं लेंगे। यदि आप ऐसा करते
हैं , तो जो कारीगर हैं , उनको यह तसल्ली मिल जाएगी कि टै क्स के बारे में चर्चा करने के लिए
उनके पास कोई नहीं आएगा और उन पर कितना टै क्स है , यह कोई नहीं पूछेगा।
सर, गोल्ड को एक इन्वेस्टमें ट के रूप में लिया जाता है , इसको इंडस्ट्री या ट्रेड के रूप में
नहीं लिया जाता है । किसान सोचता है कि मे री जिन्दगी रहे या न रहे , लेकिन अगर कुछ गोल्ड
रहे गा, तो मे रे बच्चों के काम आएगा। गोल्ड ही मे री सम्पति के रूप में होगा। अगर यह बात ठीक
है , अगर आप यहां कैपिटल गेन की बात कर रहे हैं , तो फिर यहां पर एक्साइज़ ड्यूटी क्यों
ला रहे हैं ? अगर यह गुड कैपिटल गेन में जा रहा है , तो फिर यहां एक्साइज ड्यूटी की बात
क्यों आ रही है ? हमारे वित्त मं �ी जी से और ज्यादा समझदार कोई नहीं है ? मैं निवेदन करूं गा
कि इस पर थोड़ा विचार करें । अभी भी कुछ स्ट्राइक चल रही है । यह ठीक है कि सरकार ने
उनको बोला है कि उनके तीन लोगों को भी कमे टी में रखें गे, लेकिन जहां तक मुझे पता चला
है , अभी तक उन्होंने उनके नाम नहीं दिए हैं । कुछे क बात करके आप जल्दी से जल्दी इसका
कोई हल निकालिए। अभी भी जो कुछ लोग स्ट्राइक पर हैं , उनसे बात कीजिए। आपने जो बात
की है , तो इसमें काफी चीजों में सुधार लाए हैं , लेकिन अभी भी एक डार्क प्वाइंट है । स्काई में
एक बड़ा क्लाउड जैसा है , कोई समझ नहीं पाया है । जो चीज़ आपने यहां लिखकर भी दी है ,
आपने �ेस के माध्यम से कहा है । ...(समय की घंटी)... आप �ेस के माध्यम से भी इस पर उनसे
बात कीजिए। उनसे चर्चा करके इसके समाधान का जल्दी से जल्दी रास्ता निकालिए। सर, इससे
सरकार को एक परसेंट एक्साइज में से तीन महीने के अन्दर कितना पैसा मिला है और आने
वाले दिनों में कितना मिलेगा, यह भी हाउस को जानना चाहिए। सर, मैं आपके माध्यम से यही
निवेदन करता हूं , धन्यवाद।
�ी बसावाराज पाटिल (कर्णाटक): माननीय उपसभापति जी, आदरणीय सदस्य ने एक

महत्वपूर्ण बात उठाई है । लाखों लोगों के दिलों के ऊपर इसका जो परिणाम होने वाला है , उससे
दे श में एक भय का वातावरण तो बना है । सरकार को सच्चाई स्पष्ट करना अत्यंत आवश्यक है ।
[�ी बसावाराज पाटिल]

साथ ही साथ भारत जैसे दे श में सबसे बड़ी सम्पत्ति‍ मानव सम्पत्ति‍ है । कहीं ऐसे कानू न के द्वारा
मानव सम्पत्ति‍ यानी काम करने वालों की संख्या घट जाए, तो फिर बड़ी-बड़ी मशीनें आने से
लाखों लोग और बेरोजगार तैयार हो जाएंगे। तब फिर स्कि‍‍ल का क्या होगा, यह एक भयानक
चिन्ता का विषय है ।
भारत में तो ऐसी नीति आनी चाहिए कि यहां हाथ से काम करने वाले कारीगरों को अधिक
से अधिक �ोत्साहन मिलना चाहिए। इन बातों को ध्यान में रखते हु ए मैं यह जानना चाहता हूं कि
इस सोने-चांदी और अन्य जेवरात के निर्माण में कितने कारीगर काम करते हैं ? यह जो नियम
बना है , एक परसेंट एक्साइज ड्यूटी की जो बात है , जो अनेक माननीय सदस्यों ने मांगा है ,
क्योंकि हर तहसील लेवल तक, आज वे कारीगर लोग mentally tortured हैं । सच्चाई क्या है ,
उनको बताने वाला भी कोई नहीं है । वैसी कुछ बातें हमारे ध्यान में आती हैं । यह संकट आज
उनके ऊपर न आए, क्योंकि आजादी के बाद पिछले 50-60 सालों से जब कभी भी पुलिस के
हाथ में या एक्साइज वालों के हाथ में कोई कानू न दिया जाता है , तो उसका बडे ़ पैमाने पर
दु �पयोग निचले स्तर पर होता है । उसकी खबर ऊपर तक पहुं चती ही नहीं हैं । इसके कारण वे
लोग में टली बड़े परे शान हो जाते हैं और फिर हजारों-लाखों �पए के करप्शन के धंधे के नए
दरवाजा खुल जाते हैं । इस �कार की आशंका को दू र करने की दृष्टि‍ से एक निश्चि‍त और
अच्छा उत्तर सरकार के द्वारा मिले। ये जो लाखों-लाख सामान्य कारीगर हैं , इनको किसी �कार
का भय नहीं हो। यह एक सुन्दर अवकाश जैसा हो, क्योंकि यहां पर कुछ लोग कई बार सुनते
ही आत्महत्या कर लेते हैं । 12 लोगों की मृत्यु होने की बात भी सामने आई है । 45 दिनों से लोग
स्ट्राइक पर हैं । उससे उन गरीबों की रोजी-रोटी और उनके परिवार की जिन्दगी जुड़ी है । इससे
हाथ की कारीगरी मर जाएगी और तब एक बहु त बड़ा संकट दे श पर आ सकता है । सरकार नए
ढं ग से आने वाली नई नीतियों से ब्लैक मनी को निकालने, ब्लैक सोने के निकालने की कोई नई
नीति बनाए, परन्तु यहां पर सामान्य गरीब आदमी कोई संकट न हो, इसकी अत्यंत आवश्यकता
है । मैं इस बात की माननीय मं �ी जी से विनती करता हूं । यह जो 6 करोड़ से ऊपर वाले पर
लगेगी, तो वास्तव में कितने लोग इस दायरे में आते हैं और कितने लोग काम करने वाले हैं ,
इसकी एक स्पष्टता मिले, तब वह गरीब आदमी हिम्मत के साथ किसी अधिकारी से भी बात कर
सकता है । तो एक सुन्दर अवसर आज के इस �श्न से सामने आया है । मैं यह भरोसा करता
हूं , कि माननीय मं �ी जी इसका ठीक से उपयोग करते हु ए एक निश्चि‍त उत्तर जरूर दें गे। दे श
के वे लाखों-लाख कारीगर आपके इस उत्तर से एक संदेश को �ाप्त करके बड़े आनन्दि‍त होंगे।
कल से वे अपने काम पर जाएं और इस दिशा में एक अच्छा संदेश जाए, मैं आपसे यह �ार्थना
करता हूं । माननीय उपसभापति महोदय, मुझसे पूर्व के सभी वक्ताओं ने काफी डिटे ल में बात रखी
है , उन सबसे अपने को संबद्ध करते हु ए मैं यह समझता हूं कि यह एक ऐसा मामला है , जैसा
कि कहा जा रहा है कि पूरे दे श में लगभग पांच करोड़ लोग इससे जुड़े हु ए हैं , जिनमें से डे ढ़
करोड़ तो केवल artisans हैं , वर्कर्स हैं , जो इससे affect हो रहे हैं । पिछले काफी समय से ये
लोग इसको लेकर �दर्शन कर रहे हैं , हड़ताल पर हैं , इनकी दु कानें बंद हैं , उनकी रोजी-रोटी
बंद है , लोग आत्महत्या कर रहे हैं । ये सब चीजें सामने आ रही हैं । ऐसे में जबकि जीएसटी की
बात कही गई है और माननीय वित्त मं �ी जी ने बजट की स्पीच में कहा था, जिसको आज इन्होंने
circulate भी किया है । उन्होंने कहा कि यह एक तैयारी है । यह जो एक्साइज ड्यूटी लगाई गई
है , यह जीएसटी के लिए तैयारी है । यह उनको तैयार करने के उद्दे श्य से किया जा रहा है ।
अगर यह सिर्फ जीएसटी की तैयारी के उद्दे श्य से किया जा रहा है , तो हम लोग जीएसटी को
ही क्यों नहीं लागू कर दे ते हैं ? हमारी पार्टी यानी बीएसपी ने कहा है कि आप जीएसटी लाइए,
हम इसमें आपको सपोर्ट करें गे। आप इसकी जगह जीएसटी लाइए। इसको लेकर पूरे दे श में
इन लोगों के बीच एक दहशत का माहौल बन गया है । इसको समाप्त करने की आवश्यकता
है । आपने आज जो स्टेटमें ट circulate किया है , उसके पैरा 4 में आपने खुद यह बात कहीं है ,
"Additionally, the Government has constituted a Sub-Committee of the High Level
Committee to interact with trade and industry on tax laws. The Terms of Reference
of this Sub-Committee include issues related to compliance procedure for the Excise
Duty including records to be maintained and other things." अगर इनसे और इंडस्ट्रीज से
interact करने के लिए एक हाई लेवल की सब-कमे टी बनाई गई है , तो मैं समझता हूं ि‍क अभी
जो माहौल है , उसमें माननीय वित्त मं �ी जी स्वयं या जिसको वे इसके लिए capable समझते हैं ,
उसको उसमें रख करके उनसे डायरे क्ट वार्तालाप करें ।‍ इन लोगों से डायरे क्ट वार्तालाप करके
इनकी समस्या को समझें । उनकी समस्या को समझ कर इसका निराकरण निकाला जाए। अगर
हाई लेवल की सब-कमे टी बनाई गई है , तो जब तक यह कमे टी अपनी कोई रिपोर्ट नहीं दे दे ती
है , तब तक कम से कम इसको रोक दे ना चाहिए। जब आप खुद ही यह बता रहे हैं कि इस
issue को settle करने के लिए, इसका समाधन निकालने के लिए एक सब-कमे टी बनाई गई है ,
तो जब तक इसका समाधान नहीं निकलता है , तब‍ तक अगर आंदोलित लोगों को एक respite
दे ने के लिए इसको वापस ले लें, तो ज्यादा उचित होगा।
�ी अ�ण जेटली: माननीय उपसभापति जी, �ी राज बब्बर ने एवं अन्य सम्मानित सदस्यों ने
यह विषय उठाया है । पिछले कुछ सप्ताहों से इस विषय पर कई सार्वजनि‍क चर्चाएं भी इुई हैं , मे री
भी इस व्यवसाय से जुड़े लोगों से बातचीत हु ई है । उनकी क्या तकलीफ है , यह भी समझने का
अवसर मिला है । किसी व्यवसाय का या किसी कारीगर को, जो इस दे श के परं परागत कारीगर
हैं , किसी को तकलीफ हो, यह सरकार की कभी intention नहीं रही है , इसलिए सबसे पहले
तो यह स्पष्ट हो जाए कि यह एक परसेंट एक्साइज ड्यूटी क्यों लगी और यह किसके ऊपर
लागू होती है । तर्क यह दिया गया कि बड़े लोगों को छोड़ दिया गया, छोटे लोगों पर इसे लगा
दिया गया। अब छोटे लोगों का सहारा ले लेना, उससे राजनीतिक तर्क तो बढ़ जाता है , लेकिन
सच्चाई इसके बिल्कु ल विपरीत है । यह एक्साइज ड्यूटी किसी कारीगर पर नहीं लगी, यह किसी
छोटे स्वर्णकार पर नहीं लगी। जिसको राज बब्बर जी कॉरपोरे ट ज्वैलर्स कह रहे थे, अधिकतर
वही हैं , जो इसके दायरे में आते हैं , इसलिए छोटे लोगों का सहारा मत लीजिए, क्योंकि यह
उन पर नहीं लगी है । एक्साइज ड्यूटी की जो eligibility है और इसमें जो exemptions दिए गए
हैं , उनके अनु सार अगर पिछले वर्ष किसी का टर्नओवर 12 करोड़ रूपए से कम था और अगले
वर्ष में 6 करोड़ रूपए से कम है , तो आप exempted हैं । हमारा दे श अभी इतना विकसित नहीं
हु आ है कि छोटे लोगों को टर्नओवर 12 करोड़ रूपए और 6 करोड़ रूपए से ज्यादा हो। किसी
कारीगर का टर्नओवर दो लगातार वर्षों में 6 करोड़ और 12 करोड़ से कम रहा है । ये जो बड़ी-
बड़ी chains हैं , यह उन्हीं के ऊपर लागू हु आ है । इसलिए मैं इस सदन के माध्यम से यह स्पष्ट
कर दूं कि यह 12 करोड़ और 6 करोड़ वालों पर लागू होगा और उससे कम वाले किसी व्यक्ति‍
को इसके दायरे में नहीं लाया गया है , यह बिल्कु ल स्पष्ट है ।
[�ी अ�ण जेटली]

जहां तक एक्साइज़ की नीति है , हम लोग तय कर लें कि किन आइटम्स के ऊपर एक्साइज़
लगना है । कोई structured trade हो और बार-बार आंदोलन करके उसको वापस करवा ले,
तो इसका यह अर्थ नहीं कि वह अधिकार बन जाता है , उस पर टै क्स कभी नहीं लगेगा। मैं
सूची दे ख रहा था। आपने कहा कि लगभग हर राज्य में गोल्ड के ऊपर वैट लगता है । इस पर
सबसे अधि‍क वैट केरल में लगता है , जहां आपकी यूपीए की सरकार है और वह इस पर पांच
परसेंट का वेट लगाती है । जब आपको उन कारीगरों की इतनी ही चिन्ता है , तो केरल माननीय
उपसभापति जी का भी राज्य है , आप वहां से उसको हटवा दीजिए। लगभग हर राज्य में वैट
लगता है । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी नरे श अ�वाल: माननीय वित्त मं�ी जी, टै क्स दे ने से कौन मना कर रहा है ? ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी राज बब्बर: आपके पास 6 करोड़ से नीचे के लोगों का कोई सर्वे है ? ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी अ�ण जेटली: थोडा वेट कर लीजिए, आप इसका पूरा अर्थ समझ जाएंगे कि किस विरोध
में आप उलझते जा रहे हैं । केरल सरकार ने गोल्ड पर पांच परसेंट वैट लगाया हु आ है और वैट
के लिए भी बही किताबें में टेन करनी पड़ती हैं । वर्ष 2005 में यूपीए ने �ांडेड ज्वैलेरी पर लगाया,
जब �ोटे स्ट हु आ तो वर्ष 2009 में उसे वापस ले लिया। तब भी बहु त समझदार वित्त मं �ी थे।
उन्होंने वर्ष 2012 में फिर लगाया और जब �ोटे स्ट हु आ तो वापस ले लिया। आज परिस्थिति यह
है कि राज्यों में तो वैट लगेगा, imitation jewellery पर छ: परसेंट एक्साइज लगेगा। Imitation
jewellery is taxed at 6 per cent excise in this country. मैं अगर आपको लिस्ट दूं , तो
छोटे -से-छोटे आइटम्स पर भी टै क्स लगाए गए हैं । यह कोई हमारी सरकार ने नहीं लगाया, जब
आप सरकार में थे तब लगता था। सोप, टू थपेस्ट, टू थ�श, फुटवेयर, पेन, पेंसिल, इंक, नोटबुक,
कैंडल, �ूट जूस और जिस राज्य के मुख्यमं �ी उनके आंदोलन में गए, वहां बेबी फूड, इनके
ऊपर तो टै क्स लगेगा — मैं यह एक्साइज का जि� कर रहा हूं — लेकिन एक लग्जरी आइटम
को केवल इसलिए एग्जेम्प्ट कर दें , क्योंकि वे एक ऑर्गेनाइज्ड तरीके से �ोटे स्ट कर सकते हैं ।
�ी राज बब्बर: सर ...(व्यवधान)...
SHRI ARUN JAITLEY: Sorry, I am not yielding, Mr. Raj Babbar. Please, sit
down. Let me complete. Then, you can have your say.
�ी राज बब्बर: आप चीज को घुमा रहे हैं । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी अ�ण जेटली: बिल्कु ल। आप घूमे हु ए हैं , इसलिए मैं आपको लाइन पर ला रहा हूं ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Let him finish, Mr. Babbar. ...(Interruptions)...

Mr. Babbar and Mr. Neeraj Shekhar, let the Finance Minister finish. Sit down
...(Interruptions)... Let him complete his answer.
�ी अ�ण जेटली: राज बब्बर जी, मैं अपनी बात कम्प्लीट कर लू,ं उसके बाद जो क्लेरिफिकेशन
होगा, आप पूछ लीजिएगा। ...(व्यवधान)... अब आप इसको स्पष्ट रूप से समझिए। जब राजा
साहब बोल रहे थे, that is why, Mr. Raja, I said about the Left. Today, when aam
aadmi consumer items are being taxed, we will have to convince the country that
a luxury item should be kept outside the tax net. Now, what will be the effect?
Why did I say? If we are moving towards the GST, you will have to tax gold. Sir,
the whole concept of the GST is, if the Centre is collecting 'X' amount of tax and
all the States are collecting 'Y' amount of tax, totally, then GST should, together,
collect X + Y to start with a minimum. उस टै क्स के लिए जीएसटी का क्या रे ट होगा,
यह जीएसटी काउं सिल तय करे गी, which is the revenue neutral rate. Then there will
be a standard rate. नरे श जी ने कहा कि पहले कां�ेस के लोग सपोर्ट करते थे। अब उनका
यह कहना है कि आप 18 परसेंट की कैप लगाइए। मुझे 18 परसेंट पर कोई एतराज नहीं है ।
That is a reasonable stand. कैप्स Constitution में हो या Constitution के बाहर हो, that is
the only area of difference. अगर आपने luxury items को जीएसटी से बाहर कर दिया, तो
फिर 18 परसंेट maintain करने के लिए आपको essential items की ड्यूटी बढ़ानी पडे ़गी कि
गोल्ड को टै क्स की माफी दो और सीमें ट, स्टील, आयरन के ऊपर, जूते के ऊपर, कपड़े के
ऊपर इसको ज्यादा बढ़ाओ।
�ी राज बब्बर: क्या बात कह रहे हैं ? कौन कह रहा है ? ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी अ�ण जेटली: आप समझ लीजिए। राज बब्बर जी, यह complex विषय है । अगर आप
luxury items को टै क्स के दायरे से बाहर रखते हैं तो उन luxury items का जो टै क्स का हिस्सा
है , फिर किसी आवश्यक वस्तु पर अधिक टै क्स लगाकर उसकी पूर्ति करते हैं । इसीलिए किसी भी
taxation policy में luxury items को taxation से indefinitely बाहर रखा जाए, यह संभव नहीं है ।
�ी राज बब्बर: Luxury items की बात ही नहीं हो रही है , टै क्स की बात ही नहीं हो रही
है । आप बहस को ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी उपसभापति: बब्बर जी बैठिए, let him finish.
�ी अ�ण जेटली: महोदय, अगर हम लोग जीएसटी की तरफ जा रहे हैं तो उसका पहला
कदम है कि हम लोग इन आइटम्स के ऊपर taxation लगाएं जिससे हम लोग एक reasonable
cap मे न्टेन कर सकें। यह संभव नहीं है कि कोई राजनैतिक दल कहे कि 18 परसेंट की कैप
भी होगी, लेकिन luxury items को exempt कर दो, ताकि 18 परसेंट की कैप कभी मे न्टेन ही
न हो पाए।
कुमारी शै लजा: किसने कहा?
SHRI ARUN JAITLEY: That is the stand. Both the stands that you have taken
are self-destructive. You want a luxury item outside the tax net because your leaders
have said, this is assassination of a trade putting tax on them. So, if that trade is
to be kept outside the tax net then you can never reach the 18 per cent cap. You
will always breach it. This is a serious subject. Therefore, please get some experts to
examine the stand which you have taken on both issues, which is self-contradictory.
[Shri Arun Jaitley]

इसमें जो दिक्कत है वह यह है कि हम एक नये आइटम पर लगा रहे हैं , केवल बड़े लोगों पर
लगा रहे हैं । बड़े लोगों पर भी लगे तो उनकी एक शिकायत है और उनकी इस चिंता में शायद
वजन है कि कल को हमारे खिलाफ harassment आरम्भ न हो जाए। उस harassment को रोकने
के लिए, जिस पर हम सबकी और मे री भी सहानु भति
ू उनके साथ है , हमने एक स्पष्ट कदम
एनाउं स किया, जो किसी दू सरी commodity के लिए नहीं है । उन steps का कारण यह था
कि gold trade की कई विशेषताएं हैं । कई बार व्यक्ति‍ अपना सोना लेकर जाता है और कहता
है कि इससे जेवर बना दिया जाए, make jewellery out of this gold. कल को कोई तीसरा
आदमी कहे गा कि सोने की कीमत मैं आपके turnover में लगा लूंगा, जबकि सोना consumer
लेकर आया है , यह संभव है । इन सब समस्याओं को दे खते हु ए केवल एकमा� gold trade है
जिसको हमने यह सुविधा दी है कि कोई physical verification आपके यहां नहीं होगा। मुझे जब
स्वर्णकार मिले तो मैं ने उनसे स्पष्ट कहा कि अगर कोई एक्साइज़ का व्यक्ति‍ खाकी वर्दी में आता
है तो अपने मोबाइल फोन से उसकी फोटो खींचकर मुझे भेज दीजिए। सीबीईसी के चेयरपरसन ने
सब फील्ड युनिट्स को चिट्ठी लिखी है कि कोई physically नहीं जाएगा। जो आप वैट की रिटर्न
फाइल करते हैं , उसकी की self-assessment return के ऊपर एक्साइज दे दें , self-certification
से आप एक्साइज़ दे दें । जो आप वैट की रिटर्न फाइल कर रहे हैं , उसको स्वीकार किया जाएगा
और यह केवल बड़े वालों के ऊपर लागू है , छोटे वालों पर लागू नहीं है । यह जो सुविधा है ,
ये पूरी guidelines हैं । इसके अतिरिक्त आपको कोई और safeguard चाहिए — टै क्स आपको
दे ना पडे ़गा, लेकिन harassment रोकने के लिए आपको कोई और सुविधा इसमें चाहिए, कोई
precautionary step चाहिए तो हम वह भी लेने को तैयार हैं ।
�ी नरे श अगवाल: इस टै क्स को आप एक्साइज़ के बजाय किसी दू सरे रूप में ले लीजिए।
�ी अ�ण जेटली: नरे श जी, मैं उत्तर दे दे ता हूं । आपका यह relevant �श्न है , क्योंकि यह
तर्क दिया रहा है , इसलिए मैं इसका उत्तर अभी दे ता हूं । उनको यह कहा अौर उनसे बातचीत
करके यह तय किया कि हम डा. अशोक लहरी, जो सरकार में पहले चीफ इकोनॉमिक एडवाइजर
थे, उनकी अध्यक्षता में एक कमे टी बना दे ते हैं । उसमें आपके तीन नु माइंदे रहें गे और आप सब
बैठकर तय कर लो कि इसमें और क्या सेफगाडर्स चाहिए, जिससे कि harassment न हो।
टै क्स आपको दे ना पडे ़गा, लेकिन Tax "Yes"? Harassment "No"? इस दृष्टि‍ से उनकी पहली
मीटिंग अभी हु ई। वह तीन कौन होंगे, अब कठिनाई मे री यह है कि दर्जनों ऑल इ‍ंडिया संगठन
हैं , कोई हड़ताल पर है , कोई हड़ताल पर नहीं है । आज तो कोई हड़ताल पर नहीं है और उसके
अतिरिक्त उसमें से कुछ आकर फैसला कर गए कि हमने पहले दौर की हड़ताल कॉल ऑफ कर
दी और आगे कमे टी बना दीजिए, कुछ ने कॉल ऑफ कर दी और कुछ ने कहा कि हम नहीं
कॉल आॅफ करते, बाद में सबने कॉल ऑफ कर दी। उनको तय करना है कि उनके उद्योग के
तीन सदस्य कौन होंगे? हमारी सरकार सदस्यों को तय नहीं करना चाहती है और डा लहरी को
हमने यह instructions दी हैं कि उनके साथ बातचीत करके आप उनके तीन नु माइंदे ले लीजिए।
उनकी अगली मीटिंग आने वाले सप्ताह में है और हमें इसकी रिकमं डेशन दे दो। अब सतीश चं�
मि�ा जी ने यह कहा कि इसको तब तक आगे ले जाओ, ज‍ब तक कि इसका फैसला न हो।
31 मार्च तक जितने लोगों ने रजिस्टर कराना था, वह करा लिया है । जो बड़ी कैटे गरी के लोग
3.00 p.m.
हैं , उनको रजिस्टर कराना था। कुल मिलाकर उसमें 206 ने रजिस्टर कराया है । इसके साथ हमने
यह सुविधा दे दी, क्योंकि हमने डा. लहरी की अध्यक्षता में कमे टी बनाई ही है और हो सकता
है कि एक-दो कदम वे अौर अनाउस
ं कर दें , जिनको हम स्वीकार कर लें, तो इसलिए 31 मार्च
को भी बढ़ाकर हमने इसको 30 जून कर दिया। रजिस्ट्रेशन को भी हमने दो महीने और आगे
कर दिया कि हम आपको और सुविधाएं दे ते हैं तब तक और रिकमं डेशन्स भी आ जाएंगी। हमने
रजिस्ट्रेशन की डे ट ही दो महीने आगे बढ़ा दी, तो कोई व्यक्ति‍ पहले रजिस्ट्रेशन करवाएगा, फिर
अपनी सेल्फ सर्टिफिकेशन से रिटर्न फाइल करे गा और रिटर्न फाइल होने के बाद तय होगा कि
उसको कितना एक्साइज़ दे ना है , जिस रे ट पर वह वैट दे रहा है एक परसेंट, अधिकतर राज्यों
में वह वहीं एक परसेंट एक्साइज दे गा। इसमें कोई तकलीफ नहीं है । मैं केवल इतना अा�ह करना
चाहूं गा, जैसा कि नरे श जी ने कहा कि कोई और नाम दे दें ।
अब गोल्ड ट्रेड की एक विशेषता है । इस दे श मंे सोना तो है नहीं, सोना बाहर से आता है ।

आप सोने के इम्पोर्ट पर जितना �तिबंध लगाओगे या जितनी ड्यूटी लगाओगे, उतनी स्मगलिंग
बढ़ती है । The bigger the ban, the higher is the smuggling. आज आपको इस ट्रेड की
बहु त चिंता है , लेकिन 2013 में आपने 80:20 स्कीम लागू की थी, जब करं ट अकाउं ट डे फिसिट
बहु त बढ़ गया था। इस स्कीम के अंत
‍ र्गत यह कहा कि वही व्यक्ति इम्पोर्ट कर सकता है , जो
20 परसेंट जेवर बनाकर बाद में री-इम्पोर्ट करे गा, तो छोटे आदमी का व्यवसाय बिल्कु ल बंद हो
गया था। उस वक्त छोटे व्यक्ति‍ की चिंता नहीं थी। यह भी आपको मालूम हो कि 16 मई, 2014
को चुनाव का रिजल्ट आ गया था। यह हम लोगों का बड़ा दिल था कि हम लोगों ने कार्र वाई
नहीं की। 16 मई और 26 मई के बीच में एक आदे श पारित हो गया। पहले पब्लि‍क सैक्टर बैंक्स
सोना इम्पोर्ट करते थे। अब केवल स्टार एक्सपोर्टर्स इम्पोर्ट करें गे। छह या सात लोगों के हाथ में
सारे गोल्ड या इम्पोर्ट दे दिया गया था। उन दोनों कदमों का असर यह हु आ कि ऑफिशियल
इम्पोर्ट कम हो गया और स्मगलिंग ज्यादा हो गई। सरकार में आने के बाद हमने इसको ओपन
कर दिया कि छोटा आदमी भी इसको इम्पोर्ट कर सकता है । हम लोग जानते हैं कि सास्कृतिक
ं
दृष्टि‍ से इस दे श की, यह अच्छा है या बुरा है , उस तर्क में नहीं जाता हूं , लेकिन गोल्ड की
एक appetite है , जो उसको इस्तेमाल करते हैं । आज गोल्ड पर दस परसेंट कस्टम ड्यूटी है ।
जो नरे श ने पूछा, अगर हम उस कस्टम ड्यूटी को बढ़ाते हैं , तो smuggling बढ़ जाती है , वह
unofficial route से आता है । आज आप किसी भी एयरपोर्ट पर सांसद के नाते जाएंगे, तो जो
कस्टम अधि‍कारी मिले, उससे पूछ लीजिए कि सबसे ज्यादा आपकी एनर्जी किस आइटम को
रोकने में लगती है , तो वह अापको कहे गा कि गोल्ड। इसलिए यह कहना कि कस्टम ड्यूटी
बढ़ा दो और smuggling रूट से ज्यादा सोना आ जाए, इसमें कोई लाभ नहीं है । अब डोमे स्टि‍क
टै क्स कौन सा लगेगा? तीन तरह के डोमे स्टि‍क टै क्स हैं । सर्विस टै क्स लग नहीं सकता, वह
केवल सर्विसेज पर लगता है । दू सरे दो टै क्स बचते हैं , एक्साइज ड्यूटी और कस्टम, हम कस्टम
बढ़ा नहीं सकते। तीसरा केवल एकमा� टै क्स सेन्टर के पास एक्साइज है , सेन्टर का कोई और
टै क्स नहीं है । अब सेन्टर एक्साइज न लगाए, तो फिर कौन सा दू सरा टै क्सेशन है ? यह कुछ
ही महीनों की बात है । जिस दिन कां�ेस पार्टी सहयोग करे गी, जीएसटी बन जाएगा, तो उसमें
दोनों टै क्स मर्ज हो जाएंगे। स्टेट जो वैट लगाती है और जो सेन्ट्रल एक्साइज होगा, दोनों मर्ज
होकर जीएसटी के रूप में आ जाएंगे। जीएसटी के रूप में आने के बाद जैसा मैं ने कहा कि हर
[�ी अ�ण जेटली]

आइटम पर including luxury items, उनको टै क्स दे ना पडे ़गा। मैं केवल दो चीजों का आ�ह
करूं गा, क्योंकि और कोई वैकल्पि‍क टै क्स नहीं है , जो लग सकता है । आप केवल एक आइटम
के लिए नया डिपार्टमें ट खड़ा कर दो और नया टै क्स खड़ा कर दो, यह कोई बहु त समझदारी
की नीति नहीं होगी। मैं केवल इतना ही कहंू गा कि कारीगरों और छोटे आदमियों पर यह नहीं
लगा है । यह �चार एकदम गलत है और मैं इसका खं डन करता हूं । यह बड़ों पर लगा है , अभी
तक केवल 206 बडे ़ लोगों ने अपने आपको रजिस्टर कराया है । हम इस ट्रेड की पूरी सहायता
करें गे। िकसी का harassment न हो, इसके लिए चार कदम और आगे बढ़ना पडे ़गा, तो हम
बढें गे, लेकिन दो चीजें हैं । Luxury items पर टै क्स दे ना है , इसका अभ्यास हम लोग डालें। केवल
essential commodities पर टै क्स लगेगा, उसी पर दे श चलेगा, यह ठीक नहीं है ।
राज बब्बर जी, आप फिल्म इंडस्ट्री से संबंध रखते हैं और लीडिंग एक्टर रहे हैं । दो ऐसे
उद्योग थे, फिल्म इंडस्ट्री और रीयल एस्टेट, जिनके बारे में कभी एक छवि थी कि यहां कैश
ट्रांजेक्शन ज्यादा होता है । अब यह सुनने में आया है कि धीरे -धीरे यह professionalism की तरफ
चलता गया और आज यह स्थि‍ति बदल गई है । आज आप खुद भी जानते होंगे कि white money
transaction film industry में बहु त व्यापक हो गया है , ज्यादा वही है । रीयल एस्टेट उस दिशा
में जा रहा है । जब दु निया और दे श के विभिन्न उद्योग उस दिशा में जा रहे हैं , तो एक्साइज नैट
में आकर यह ट्रेड भी इस दिशा में चले, मुझे लगता है कि इसमें बुराई नहीं है । इसमें दे श का
भला होगा और आप भी इसमें दे श का साथ दीजिए। धन्यवाद।
�ी नरे श अ�वाल: वित्त मं �ी जी ने यहां जो कुछ कहा है , यह सत्य से परे है और बीजेपी

की पूरी हठधर्मी है । हम इस हठधर्मी के विरोध में समाजवादी पार्टी बहिष्कार करती है ।

�ी के. सी. त्यागी: सर, एक मिनट, मैं आपसे कुछ कहने की परमिशन चाहता हूं ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: What is the problem?
�ी के. सी. त्यागी: सर, आपके कुछ शब्दों से अर्थ का अनर्थ हो जा रहा है । पहले उधर
कां�ेस पार्टी की एक मे म्बर थीं, डा. साधौ, आपने उनको 'साधू' कह दिया। राज बब्बर जी को
आपने 'बाबर' कह दिया, रजनी पाटिल जी को आपने 'पटेल' कह दिया। ...(व्यवधान)... कहकशां
परवीन को अापने 'कहकाश परवीन' कह दिया। तो सर, आपके जो शब्द हैं , इसमें अापके एक्सेंट
की कोई गलती नहीं है , यह लैंग्वेज की �ॉब्लम है , लेकिन सर, अगर राज बब्बर, राज बाबर बन
जाएंगे। तब तो चुनाव उनके खिलाफ चला जाएगा, तो ये तो बिल्कु ल हड़कम्प मचा दें गे। ऐसे ही
वे डा. साधौ हैं , उनको आपने 'साधू' कह दिया।
�ी उपसभापति: लेकिन मैं ने त्यागी जी के नाम में कोई बदलाव नहीं‍ किया है । 'त्यागी'
'त्यागी' ही है ।
(�ी मुख्तार अब्बास नक़वी): हम यह कहना चाहते हैं कि माननीय सदस्य अापकी भावनाओं पर
जाएं, आपके शब्दों पर न जाएं और आपकी भावना बिल्कु ल पाक-साफ है ।
�ी उपसभापति: मैं ने त्यागी जी के नाम में कोई बदलाव नहीं किया। Is Tyagi the real
'tyagi'? That is the problem.
�ी के. सी. त्यागी: सर, मुझे डर यह है कि किसी दिन 'त्यागी' को आप 'बागी' न बना दें ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Tyagi should be the real 'tyagi'.
�ी ईश्वरलाल शं करलाल जैन: माननीय वित्त मं �ी जी ने कहा कि हम इन चीजों पर वैट

लेंगे। सर, सवाल यह है कि वैट का जो चालान भरा जाता है , उसके अंदर ऑर्नामें ट्स भी आते
हैं , स्टोंस भी आते हैं और primary gold भी आता है Primary is already exempted. उसको
हम किस �कार से दे खेंगे? ऐसे तो �ाइमरी के ऊपर भी एक्साइज आ जाएगी, तो उसको किस
�कार से bifurcate किया जाएगा? हमें इस पर विचार करना होगा।
दू सरा �श्न यह है कि आपने रजिस्ट्रेशन के लिए तो समय बढ़ा दिया है , अब रजिस्ट्रेशन

के लिए जून तक का समय है । जब तक रजिस्टेशन नहीं होगा, हम कस्टमर के बिल के ऊपर
एक्साइज़ ड्यूटी चार्ज नहीं कर सकते। जब टै क्स नहीं दिया, 30 तारीख को जून खत्म हो गया,
क्योंकि तब तक रजिस्ट्रेशन करना पडे ़गा, तब तो आप 1 अ�ैल से एक्साइज ड्यूटी को कलेक्ट
करना चाहें गे। जब कस्टमर से ड्यूटी कलेक्ट ही नहीं की गई, चूंकि आपने कस्टमर को जून तक
का समय दिया है , तब वे टै क्स कैसे दे पाएंगे? मे री यह रिक्वेस्ट है कि जब से वे रजिस्ट्रेशन
लेंगे, तभी से एक्साइज ड्यूटी कलेक्ट करने के लिए नियम बनाएं।
�ी उपसभापति: अब मं �ी जी, थावर चन्द गहलोत जी।
�ी मुख्तार अब्बास नक़वी: सर, आपने इनका नाम सही लिया है ।

GOVERNMENT BILLS
The Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016
सामाजिक न्याय और अधिकारिता मं �ी (�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत): माननीय उपसभापति

महोदय, मैं �स्ताव �स्तुत करता हूं :
कि संवि‍धान (अनु सूचित जातियां) आदे श, 1950 का और संशोधन करने वाले विधेयक
पर, लोक सभा द्वारा पारित रूप में , विचार किया जाए।
माननीय उपसभापति महोदय, मुझे यह कहते हु ए खुशी है कि हमें राज्यों से जो �स्ताव

�ाप्त होते हैं , अगर उन पर आरजीआई और एससी कमिशन के �तिवेदन आ जाते हैं तो हम
उन जातियों को संविधान (अनु सूचित जातियां) आदे श, 1950 में सम्मि‍लित करने का काम करते
हैं । हमने यह काम वर्ष 2014-15 में भी किया था, 2015-16 में भी किया था और अब इस वर्ष भी
मैं यह विधेयक लाया हूं ।
महोदय, इस विधेयक में सारी �कियाएं पूरी कर ली गई हैं । राज्य सरकार से जो �स्ताव
आना चाहिए, वह आ गया है , रजिस्ट्रार जनरल ऑफ इंडिया ने अपनी सकारात्मक राय दे दी
है , उसके बाद हमने इसे अनु सूचित जाति आयोग की राय के लिए भेजा, उन्होंने भी अपनी
सकारात्मक राय दी। फिर उसके बाद बिल बन करके लोक सभा में �स्तुत हु आ, लोक सभा ने
इसको सर्वानु मति से पारित किया और आज मैं राज्य सभा में इसे विचारार्थ रख रहा हूं ।
इसमें पांच राज्यों में अलग-अलग �कार के संशोधन करने का �स्ताव है । छत्तीसगढ़ में कुछ
जातियां हैं , जिनका पर्यायवाची शब्द जोड़ना है , जैसे धासी, धसिया। जो �स्ताव आया है , उसमें
घासी, घसिया के पर्यायवाची के रूप में सारथी, सूत सारथी, सहीस, सईस और थनवार को भी
शामिल करना है । वह हो जाएगा घासी, घसिया, सईस, सहीस, सारथी, सूत-सारथी और थनवार।
हरियाणा में कुछ नई जातियां जोड़ी जा रही हैं अहे रिया, अहे री, हारी, हे री, थोरी और तुरी। राय
सिख के रूप में एक नयी �विष्टि‍ का इसमें �ावधान है । वह भी जोड़ा जा रहा है । केरल में कुछ
क्षे�ों में परिवर्तन करने का �स्ताव है । मलयन राज्य पुनर्गठन अधिनियम, 1956 का जो वहां कानू न
पास हु आ, उसके आधार पर कासरागोड, कोझीकोड तथा वयनाड जिलों में शामिल क्षे�ों के रूप में
अभी आशोधन है । हम जो संशोधन कर रहे हैं , वह यह है मलयन, कन्नूर, कासरागोड, कोझीकोड
और वयनाड जिलों में अब यह लागू हो जाएगा। इसी के साथ मण्णन, पथियन, पे�मण्णन, वण्णन,
वेलन में पर्यायवाची शब्द जोड़ना है । अब यह मण्णन, पथियन, पे�मण्णन, पे�वण्णन, वण्णन और
वेलन हो जाएगा। ओडिशा मंे दो जातियों को विलोपित करने का �स्ताव है । मौजूदा �विष्टि‍ में
बारिकी को हटाना है और कुमारी को हटाना है । इन दोनों को हटाने का �स्ताव है । यह वहां से
अब यह विलोपित हो जाएगी। पश्चि‍मी बंगाल में क्षे� �तिबंध हटाना है , मतलब एरिया में विस्तार
करना है । अभी चेन, मालदा, मुर्शीदाबाद, नादिया, दक्षिण दिनाजपुर जिलों में यह है । अब चेन क्षे�
में भी इसका विस्तार हो जाएगा। कुल मिलाकर लोक सभा ने इसको सर्वानु मति से पास किया
है । मे रा यह निवेदन है कि इस सदन में भी इस पर सर्वानु मति मिले।
सर, मैं आपकी अनु मति से एक निवेदन और करना चाहता हूं । इस विधेयक में एक माननीय
सदस्य �ी विशम्भर �साद निषाद जी ने एक संशोधन �स्ताव दिया है । मैं आपसे निवेदन करना
चाहता हूं कि नियम 96(1) के अनु सार ''संशोधन विधेयक को परिधि के भीतर होगा'', अर्थात् जो
466 Government [RAJYA SABHA] Bills
[�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत]
संशोधन उन्होंने �स्तुत किया है , वह यहां �स्तुत नहीं किया जाना चाहिए, क्योंकि संशोधन विधेयक
की परिधि के भीतर होगा और जिस खंड से उसका सम्बन्ध हो, उसके विषय से संगत होगा। यहां
उत्तर �दे श की कोई जाति नहीं है । उत्तर �दे श से सम्बन्धि‍त कोई �ावधान खं ड के रूप में नहीं
है , इ‍सलिए उनका यह जो संशोधन �स्ताव है , वह स्वीकार करने योग्य नहीं है । इसके साथ ही
इसका भाग 3 आप दे खें, तो कोई संशोधन उसी �श्न पर राज्य सभा के पूर्व निर्णय से असंगत
न होगा। मैं ने पिछले स� में ही उनके जो संशोधन हैं , अभी जिन पर चर्चा चल रही है और इस
सदन ने उसको अस्वीकृति दी है , असहमति दी है , इसलिए ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: When the amendment is taken up, you can say this.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: मैं ने इस‍ीलिए निवेदन किया कि इस अवसर पर मैं बता दूं ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: You can say this at that time.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: साधारणतया उस समय बोलना चाहिए, परन्तु ऐसे समय में भी अगर
मैं बोलूं, तो प्वाइंट ऑफ ऑर्डर के रूप में मैं आपसे निवेदन कर रहा हूं ।
सर, अगर आप इसका भाग 8 दे खें, तो इसमें है कि 'सभापति किसी ऐसे संशोधन को
�स्थापित करने से इंकार कर सकेगा, जो उनकी राय में इन नियमों का उल्लंघन करता हो।'
�ी उपसभापति: ठीक है , ठीक है ।
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: उनका संशोधन इन नियमों का उल्लंघन करने वाला है । इसलिए
उसको स्वीकार न करें , मैं इतना निवेदन करता हूं ।
The question was proposed.
�ी शमशे र सिंह डु लो (पंजाब): उपसभापति महोदय, आपका बहु त धन्यवाद कि आपने मुझे
''संविधान (अनु सूचित जा‍तियां) आदे श (संशोधन) विधेयक, 2016'' पर बोलने का मौका दिया। मैं
इस विधेयक के समर्थन में in principle खड़ा हु आ हूं ।
[उपसभाध्यक्ष (डा. ई. एम. सुदर्श न नाच्चीयप्पन) पीठासीन हु ए]
सर, भारत की आजादी के बाद 1950 में माननीय राष्ट्रपति जी ने दे श के विभिन्न राज्यों
और यूनियन टे रिटरीज़ के शेड्यूल्ड कास्टस के लोगों को Article 341(1) में include किया था।
उसके बाद इन जातियों को कुछ �ोत्साहन भी मिला, रिजर्वेशन का बेनिफिट भी मिला, पर आज
तक हम दे ख रहे हैं , कि ये सदियों से गुलामी, disparity, atrocity और छु आछु त से जूझ रहे हैं ।
यह जो क्लास है , यह under privileged class है और इस क्लास के लिए different योजनाएं
भी बनाई हु ई हैं । ये योजनाएं हर स्तर पर बनी हु ई हैं । मैं समझता हूं कि उनको पूरा लागू नहीं
किया गया। विडं बना इस बात की है कि दे श में जात-पात का जो सिस्टम है , यह हिन्दू सोसाइटी
की दे न है । हिन्दू सोसाइटी, मनु स्मृति, जिन्होंने इस समाज को भी बांटा और इस दे श को भी
बांटने की कोशिश की। ॠग्वेद में जि� आता है कि �ह्मा जी के मुख से �ाह्मण पैदा हु आ, उनके
बाजुओं से क्ष‍ि�य पैदा हु ए, उनकी नाभि से वैश्य पैदा हु ए और उनके पांवों से शू� पैदा हु ए। ये
कट्टरपंथी हिन्दू फिरकापरस्ती की वजह से इस दे श में सदियों से इन लोगों के साथ ज्यादती

होती रही है , इसीलिए डा. बा‍बा साहे ब अम्बेडकर ने संविधान में �ावधान रखा कि ये जो पिछड़े
हु ए हैं , untouchables हैं , जो शोषित हैं , जो educationally, economically, socially पिछडे ़ हु ए
हैं और मैं political भी कह सकता हूं , उनके लिए संविधान में �ावधान रखा गया। यह ठीक है
कि रिजर्वेशन के तहत एमएलए और मिनिस्टर बनते हैं और कुछ लोग रिजर्वेशन की वजह से
क्लास वन में आईएएस और आईपीएस भी बनते हैं , पर मैं यह कहना चाहता हूं कि इन लोगों
में कुछ सुधार हु आ है , लेकिन अब तक जितना सुधार होना चाहिए था, उतना नहीं हु आ है । ये
लाखों की तादाद में नहीं है , बल्कि‍ हजारों की तादाद में हैं । ये जो दलित समाज हैं , अगर दे खा
जाए तो पता चलेगा कि हिन्दुस्तान में इसकी आबादी सबसे ज्यादा है । दे श का जो बजट बनता
है , उसके component plan में आबादी के अनु सार इनके लिए बजट रखना चाहिए। इसी तरह
जो स्कीमें बनती हैं , उनमें इनका ध्यान रखा जाना चाहिए। नीति जरूर बनती है पर सरकारों
की नीयत ठीक नहीं होती है । अभी हम दे ख रहे हैं कि इसमें कुछ जातियों को शामिल किया
गया है । इसके लिए in principle हम इनके साथ हैं , पर स्टेट गवर्नमें ट की recommendations,
एससी कमिशन की recommendations, से�ेटरी जनरल की recommendations, ये जो criteria
और पॉलिसीज हैं , ये transparent होनी चािहए। यह शेड्यूल्ट कास्ट लफ्ज जो है , यह उनके
लिए है , जिन्हें untouchable कहा जाता है । जिनके साथ शू�ों जैसा सुलूक होता था। जो जनरल
कैटे गरी में आते रहे हैं या दू सरी कैटे गरी में आते रहे हैं , जो पिछडे ़ हु ए हैं , जो गरीब हैं , चाहे वे
किसी भी जाति से हों, उनको बेनिफिट जरूर दे ना चाहिए। मैं दे खता हूं कि पहले से जो शेड्यूल्ड
कास्ट्स में हैं , उनको आप अब तक अपलिफ्ट नहीं कर सके हैं । हमारे यहां जो सिस्टम है , उसमें
भी इसी तरह की partiality है , चाहे वह न्याय का सिस्टम हो, चाहे स्टेट को फंड दे ने की बात
हो। डिपार्टमें ट्स में भी अभी तक रिजर्वेशन पूरी नहीं हु ई हैं , चाहे वे सेंटर के डिपार्टमें ट्स हों या
स्टेट के डिपार्टमें ट्स हों। इनके लिए फंड भी इनकी पॉपुलेशन के मुताबिक मुहैया नहीं होता है ।
मैं पंजाब स्टेट से आता हूं , जहां पर शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स की आबादी 30.5 परसेंट है और स्टेट
की कुल आबादी लगभग 2 करोड़ 77 लाख है । उनमें से 86 लाख 66 हजार शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स
के हैं । वहां पर भी हम दे खते हैं कि अभी भी काफी सर्विसेज में बैकलॉग पूरा नहीं हु आ है , चाहे
वह क्लास �ी में हो या क्लास फोर में हो, इसीलिए फंड डायवर्ट किए जाते हैं , जो एजुकेशन
के लिए हों या हे ल्थ के लिए हों। एडमिनिस्ट्रेटिव लेवल पर तथा न्याय में भी इनके साथ जो
ज्यादती होती है , वह आपको पता है । मैं अब भी एेसा समझता हूं कि दे श आजाद जरूर है , पर
गरीब लोगों को आजादी नहीं मिली। अब इस देश में मंदिरों में जाने से मनाही है, हमारे यहां
गुरूद्वारों में कई दफा भीड़ भी नहीं मिलती। हमारे बच्चों को अगर शादी करनी हो, तो वे इस
मुल्क में घोड़ी पर नहीं चढ़ सकते, कुएं से पानी नहीं ले सकते। यह आजादी किस टाइप की
आजादी है , जहां पर बराबरी न हो, disparity हो? समाज अभी भी पिछड़ा हु आ है । आज दे श में
इस तरह के हालात बने हु ए हैं कि जब दू सरे लोग भी रिजर्वेशन मांग रहे हैं । पहले ही रिजर्वेशन
पूरा नहीं हु आ है , अब agitations भी होती है । इसकी मांग वे भी कर रहे हैं , खाते-पीते लोग हैं ,
जिनके पास जायदादें हैं । यह रिजर्वेशन सिर्फ शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स और दलितों को मिली थी, जिनको
मे नस्ट्रीम में लाना था, लेकिन अब दू सरे लोग भी इसकी मागं कर रहे हैं । जो ऑलरे डी शेड्यूल्ड
कास्ट्स हैं , पहले आप उनकी तरफ दे खिए, नहीं तो उनकी सोशल ओर इकोनॉमिकल लाइफ
में सुधार नहीं होगा। उनकी पोलिटिकल लाइफ तो ठीक है , वे कई बार मिनिस्टर भी बन जाते
हैं , एमएलए भी बनते हैं । मैं समझता हूं कि उनके साथ पोलिटिकली भी disparity होती है । आप
[�ी शमशेर सिंह डु लो]

दे खिए कि यह एनडीए का राज है , इसमें जो शेड्यूल्ड कॉस्ट्स वजीर बनते हैं , उनको तो अच्छे
महकमें भी नहीं िदए जाते, बाकी की बात तो छोडि़ए। हमारी सरकारें भी रही हैं , उनमंे वे लोग
होम मिनिस्टर रहे हैं , ए�ीकल्चर मिनिस्टर रहे हैं । बूटा सिंह जी, शिन्दे जी, ये सारे मिनिस्टर
रहे हैं ,‍ जिनको अच्छे-अच्छे डिपार्टमें ट्स दिए गए।
अब आप डा. बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर की 125वीं जयंती मनाने जा रहे हैं । मुझे खुशी है कि
जो लोग डा. बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर का विरोध करते रहे , उनकी पॉलिसियों का विरोध करते
रहे , वे अब डा. बाबा साहे ब की जयंती मानने जा रहे हैं । दे र आए, दु रूस्त आए। अब इनको पता
चला है । लेकिन मैं यह कहना चाहता हूं कि केवल बाबा साहे ब की जयंती मनाने से काम नहीं
चलेगा, बल्कि‍ अगर गवर्नमें ट sincere है , तो उनकी जो नीतियां हैं , जो वे कहकर गए हैं , जो वे
विधान में दे कर गए हैं , उन पर चलना होगा। मोदी जी डा. बाबा साहे ब के जन्म स्थान पर गए
थे, लेकिन उनके जन्म स्थान पर जाना ही काफी नहीं है । शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स की जो पीड़ा है , जो
दर्द है , उनके साथ जो disparity होती है , एजुकेशनल इंस्टि‍ट्यूशंस में वेमुला का सुसाइड करना,
कन्हैया के साथ जो व्यवहार हु आ और स्कू लों-कॉलेजों में शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स के साथ जो व्यवहार
होता है , उसको दू र करने की जरूरत है , तभी हम समझें गे। केवल उनकी जयंती मनाना ही काफी
नहीं है , बल्कि‍ उनके जो उसूल हैं , वे जो सिद्धांत दे कर गए हैं , वे संविधान में शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स
के लिए जो �ावधान करके गए हैं , उनको भी ध्यान में रखना होगा। अभी सु�ीम कोर्ट में एक
भी जज शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स से नहीं है । चाहे आप हाई कोर्ट की बात करें या कहीं और की बात
करें , किसी भी डिपार्टमें ट में अभी तक उनका बैकलॉग भरा नहीं गया। यह service disparity है ।
हमारे यहां डॉक्टर्स, इंजीनियर्स और बड़े -बडे ़ पढे ़ लिखे लोग घूम रहे हैं , अनइम्प्लॉइड हैं , वे बहु त
डि�ेशन में हैं , इसलिए सही बात तो यह है कि इन पढे ़-लिखे लोगों को रोजगार मिलना चािहए।
केवल जयंती मनाने से काम नहीं चलेगा, बल्कि‍ उन पर रिजर्वेशन पॉलिसी को लागू किया जाना
चाहिए। रिजर्वेशन में जिन कास्टस को इन्क्लूड किया जाता है , उसकी पॉलिसी टाइम �ेम्ड होनी
चािहए। यह एससी कमीशन को भी दे खना चािहए, क्योंकि वोट की राजनीति में लोगों को लुभाने
के लिए कई दफा उन कास्ट्स को इन्क्लूड कर लिया जाता है , लेकिन मैं यह कहूं गा कि जो
अछू त हैं , उनको अब भी अछू त समझा जाता है , चाहे वे किसी भी पोजिशन पर पहुं च जाएं। यह
जिस समाज की दे न है , जिस हिन्दू फिरकापरस्त की दे न है , जिनकी बदौलत यहां जात-पात
आई है , जिन्होंने समाज को बदला है और यहां जात-पात पैदा की है , उन लोगों को यह चाहिए
कि वे यह दे खें कि इस दे श में जो गरीब लोग हैं , चाहे वे किसी भी जाति के क्यों न हों और जो
शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स के लोग हैं , अगर उनको मे नस्ट्रीम में लाना है , तो उनको उनका हक मिलना
चािहए। उन्हें आबादी के मुताबिक फंड मिलने चाहिए। जिस-जिस डिपार्टमेंट में backlog है, वहां
रिजर्वेशन के backlog को पूरा किया जाना चाहिए। Universities में जो कुछ हो रहा है, वहां
पर भगवाकरण करने की कोशिश की जा रही है , Universities में एक thought, एक vision दे ने
की बात चल रही है । जहां हमारे स्टू डें ट्स पीएचडी कर रहे हैं , वे एजुकेशन के मं दिर होते हैं ,
इन मं दिरों में भी छू आछू त की बात चल रही है । इस संबंध में सरकार को सोचना चाहिए। केवल
पंजाब ही नहीं, अब तो जम्मू-कश्मीर में भी यह सब हो रहा है । वहां पर स्टू डें ट्स हड़ताल कर
रहे हैं । जो भी बजट का हिस्सा है , वह शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स को मिलना चाहिए। डा. अम्बेडकर ने
कहा था कि मनु स्मृति या दू सरी स्मृति से ...(व्यवधान)...
SHRI THAAWAR CHAND GEHLOT: Sir, he should speak on relevant matter.

ये जनरल भाषण दे रहे हैं ।
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Try to

confine yourself to the topic.
�ी शमशे र सिंह डु लो: सर, यह ठीक है कि लोग रिजर्वेशन चाहते हैं , लेकिन जो रिजर्वेशन
है , वह भी अभी तक पूरा नहीं हो सका। जो शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स को मिलना चाहिए था, वह कभी
कहीं नहीं मिला। यह disparity की बात है । सर, केवल डा. अम्बेडकर की जयंती मनाना ही
काफी नहीं है । असल में सरकार को चाहिए कि वह अपनी नीयत को साफ रखे । नीति बनी हु ई
है , नीयत नहीं है । इसको लागू करने वाले का मन साफ नहीं है । मन साफ करके इन गरीबों
की पहचान करें । ठीक है , गरीब, गरीब होता है । महोदय, कोई शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स कहलाना नहीं
चाहता है , लोग दु खी होते हैं , लेकिन जो पिछड़े हैं , उन्हे तो अभी तक उसके benefits नहीं मिले
हैं , केवल कुछ लोगों को मिले हैं । जो फंड होते हैं , वे भी उन्हें नहीं दिए जाते। अब तक उनको
पूर्ण आजादी नहीं मिली है । जब इस दे श का दलित खुशहाल होगा, छू आछू त से रहित होगा,
उसके साथ disparity नहीं होगी, उसको कोर्ट में न्याय मिलेगा, तब हम कह सकेंगे कि उन
लोगों को पूर्ण आजादी मिल गई है । मैं बिल का समर्थन करता हूं , लेकिन उसके साथ-साथ यह
भी कहना चाहता हूं कि इसको identify करते हु ए ध्यान में रखना चाहिए। रिजर्वेशन को लेकर
अभी भी इस दे श में काफी agitations होते हैं , जो लोग well-off हैं , उन्हें राजनीतिक कारणों
से इसमें इन्क्लूड किया जाता है , यह गरीबों के साथ बहु त बड़ा अन्याय है । इसलिए मैं आपकी
मार्फ त गुजारिश करूं गा कि इस संबंध में हर लेवल पर, educationally, politically, economically
और socially ध्यान दिया जाए। इन गरीबों के पास न धन है , न ही धरती है , केवल एजुकेशन
है , उसका भी privatization हो रहा है । Employment है , लेकिन उस क्षे� में भी �ाइवेट सेक्टर
को, corporate sector को बढ़ावा दिया जा रहा है । उनमें भी जो गरीब बच्चे हैं , जो एजुकेशन
�ाप्त करके आते हैं , उन्हें नौकरियां नहीं मिलती। जब वे �ाइवेट सेक्टर में नौकरी के लिए जाते
हैं , अगर वहां पर उन्हें पता चल जाए कि यह शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स का लड़का है तो उसे नौकरी
नहीं दी जाती। आप ''स्वच्छ भारत'' की बात कर रहे हैं , पहले इस हिन्दुस्तान को साफ कीजिए,
इसे जात-पात के बंधन से मुक्त कीजिए। मैं मोदी जी से विनती करूं गा, वे ''स्वच्छ भारत'' की
बात करते हैं , ''मन की बात'' करते हैं , वे अपना मन बनाएं कि इस दे श से छू आछू त को खत्म
करना है । यह तो disparity है , यह हर institution में हो रही है । यहां एनडीए की सरकार में
शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स के कितने वजीर हैं ? कौन से महकमें इनके पास हैं ? जब हमारी सरकार थी
तो हमारे डिफेंस मिनिस्टर भी शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स के होते थे, होम मिनिस्टर भी शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स
के होते थे, बूटा सिंह जी जैसे agriculture minister थे, सिंधिया साहब जैसे होम मिनिस्टर थे,
इन्हें यूपीए गवर्नमें ट ने बनाया। एनडीए गवर्नमें ट के मिनिस्टर्स के पास तो अच्छे विभाग ही नहीं
हैं , इन्हेे तो अब भी शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स ही समझा जाता है यह हालत सरकार की है । इसलिए मैं
कहना चाहता हूं कि जो कुछ भी किया है , वह कां�ेस की सरकार ने किया है । जो कुछ भी इस
दे श की तरक्की हु ई है , जो जमीनें दी गईं, वे इंदिरा जी के जमाने में दी गईं, सारे हिन्दुस्तान
में इंदिरा जी के जमाने में जमीनें दी गईं थीं। ये क्या दे रहे हैं ? ये दे ने के बजाय हमसे छीन रहे
हैं । इसमें जो दू सरी जातियां include की जाती हैं , वह गरीब लोगों का हक मारने के लिए की
जाती हैं । महोदय, एक क्लीयर-कट पॉलिसी बनानी चाहिए कि अछू त कौन है , दू सरा कौन है ।
[�ी शमशेर सिंह डु लो]

अगर किसी कास्ट को benefit दे ना है तो उसे economically backward class डिक्लेयर करके
दे ना चाहिए। जो शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स के लोग हैं , अफसोस की बात है कि आजादी को 67 साल
हो गए हैं , लेकिन अभी तक उन्हें कुछ नहीं मिला। उन्हें जो कुछ भी दिया है , वह कां�ेस ने
दिया है , किसी और ने नहीं दिया। इन्हीं शब्दों के साथ मैं आपका धन्यवाद करता हूं , जय हिन्द।
�ी अमर शं कर साबले (महाराष्ट्र): उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, हिंदवी स्वराज निर्माता छ�पति

शिवाजी महाराज की जय-जयकार करते हु ए, मैं अपने विचार व्यक्त करना चाहता हूं । महामानव,
भारत रत्न डा. भीमराव बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर जी ने इस भारत दे श का संविधान लिखा और उस
संविधान पर पूरा दे श चलता है । उस मूकनायक महामानव डा. भीमराव बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर
जी का मैं हृदय से वंदन करता हूं ।
उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, जिस सदन में बड़े -बड़े महानु भावों ने दे श हित में काम करके दे श की
गरिमा बढ़ाई है , उन सभी को मैं नमन करता हूं । इस सदन में काम करने का जिन्होंने मुझे मौका
दिया और जिन्होंने कहा कि दे श का संविधान अगर बाबा साहे ब डा. भीमराव अम्बेडकर जी ने
नहीं लिखा होता, तो मैं इस दे श का �धान मं �ी कभी नहीं बनता, ऐसे �द्धेय �धान मं �ी नरें �
मोदी जी का अौर भारतीय जनता पार्टी के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष अमित शाह का अभिवादन करता हूं ।
इस सदन के सभी नेता और सांसदों को �णाम करके, मैं संविधान (अनु सूचित जातियां) आदे श
(संशोधन) विधेयक, 2016 पर अपने विचार आपके माध्यम से सदन के सामने रखना चाहता हूं ।
मैं सबसे पहले �धान मं �ी नरें � मोदी जी को और उनके नेतृत्व में काम करने वाले सामाजिक
न्याय और अधिकारिता मं �ी, �ी थावर चन्द गहलोत और उनकी सरकार को धन्यवाद दे ता हूं
कि उन्होंने भारत रत्न डा. भीमराव बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर जी की 125वें जन्मगांठ वर्ष को ''समता
वर्ष'' घोषि‍त करके पूरे दे श में समरसता का भाव �कट किया है ।
इस 125वें जन्मगांठ वर्ष में अनु सूचित जाति और अनु सूचित जन‍जाति (अत्याचार निवारण)
संशोधन अधिनियम, 2016, ये समरसता के भाव की पहचान दे ने वाला संशोधन है । इस संशोधन की
बहु त कुछ विशेषता है । अनु सूचित जाति और अनु सूचित जनजाति (अत्याचार निवारण) अधिनियम,
1989 में किए गए सख्त �ावधानों के बावजूद अनु सचित जातियां और अनु सूचित जनजातियों के
विरूद्ध जारी अत्याचार चिंता का विषय है । एससी, और एसटी के विरूद्ध अत्याचार की अधिक
घटनाएं यह भी दर्शाती हैं कि पीओए अधिनियम का निरोधक �भाव अपराधियों पर समुचित रूप
से नहीं पड़ रहा है ।
अत: अनु सूचित जाति और अनु सूचित जनज‍ाति के सदस्यों को अपेक्षाकृत अधिक न्याय �दान
करने के साथ-साथ अपराधियों पर सख्त निवारक �भाव डालने के उद्दे श्य से इस अधिनियम को
समुचित रूप से सुदृढ़ किए जाने तथा इस अधिनियम के संगत �ावधानों को और अधिक �भावी
बनाने पर विचार किया गया है ।
इस संशोधन अधिनियम की और मुख्य विशेषताएं हैं । अत्याचार के नए अपराध जैसे — सिर,

मंूछ मुंडवाना अथवा इस �कार के अन्य कार्य जो अनु सूचित जाति तथा अनु सूचित जनजाति के
सदस्यों की गरिमा को ठे स पहंु चाने वाले हैं , जूतों का हार पहनाना, सिंचाई सुविधाओं अथवा
जंगलों में �वेश से रोकना, मानव अथवा पशुओं के शवों का निपटान अथवा उन्हें उठाना अथवा
क� खोदना, हाथ से मै ला उठाने के लिए कहना, अनु सूचित जाति अथवा अनु सूचित जनजाित
की महिला को दे वदासी बनाना, जातिगत नाम से गाली दे ना, जादू -टोना करके अत्याचार करना,
सामाजिक अथवा आर्थि‍क बहिष्कार करना, अनु सूचित जाति और अनु सूचित जनजाति की महिला
को निर्व� करके चोट पहुं चाना, अनु सूचित जाति/अनु सूचित जनजाति के लोगों को घर, गांव
अथवा आवास छोड़ने के लिए मजबूर करना, अनु सूचित जातियों और अनु सूचित जनजातियों के
सदस्यों की पवि� वस्तुओं को दू षि‍त करना, अनु सूचित जातियों और अनु सूचित जनजातियों के
सदस्यों को कामुक रूप से स्पर्श करना अथवा ऐसे शब्दों का उपयोग करना, ऐसे कार्य करना
अथवा भावभंगिमा। अनु सूचित जाति और अनु सूचित जनज‍ाति के सदस्यों को आहत करने, गम्भीर
रूप से चोट पहुं चाने, धमकाने, अपहरण करने आदि जैसे कतिपय आईपीपी अपराधों को पीओए
अधिनियम के तहत दं डनीय अपराधों के रूप में शामिल करना जिनके लिए 10 वर्ष से कम अवधि
के कारावास का �ावधान है । पूर्व में , 10 वर्षों अथवा इससे अधिक अवधि की सजा के �ावधान वाले
आईपीसी में सूचीबद्ध तथा अनु सूचित जाति/अनु सूचित जनजाति के सदस्यों के विरूद्ध अपराधों को
ही पीओए अधिनियम के अंतर्गत आने वाले अपराधों के रूप में माना जाता था। मामलों के शी�
और त्वरित निपटान के लिए पीओए अधिनियम के तहत अपराधों के अनन्य रूपा से निचारण
हे तु अनन्य न्यायालयों की स्थापना तथा अनन्य विशेष लोक अभियोजक का वर्गीकरण। अपराध
का सीधे संज्ञान लेने के लिए विशेष न्यायालयों और अनन्य विशेष न्यायालयों की शक्ति तथा
चार्जशीट दायर करने की तारीख से दो माह के भीतर मामले का विचारण 'यथासंभव' पूरा करना
है । यह 'यथासंभव' शब्द निकाल दे ना चाहिए, क्योंकि यदि यह यथासंभव शब्द नहीं निकाला गया,
तो मामले का विचारण करने की कोई सीमा नहीं रहे गी। इसलिए यथासंभव शब्द को निकालकर
दो महीने या तीन महीने के भीतर मामले का विचारण पूरा करना। 'अपील' पर नई धारा जोड़ना
निर्णय के विरूद्ध आदे श दिए जाने की तारीख से 90 दिनों की अवधि के भीतर अपील की जानी
होती है । 'पीडि़तों और गवाहों के अधिकार' पर एक अध्याय जोड़ना— पीडि़तों उनके आि‍�तों
और गवाहों के लिए जबर्दस्ती हिंसा और शोषण के विरूद्ध �ावधान करने का दायित्व राज्यों पर
डाला गया है । शिकायत दर्ज करने या गवाहों की गवाही रिकार्ड करने, जांच करने और आरोप
प� दाखिल करने तथा इस अधिनियम और नियमावली में विनिर्दिष्ट किसी अन्य कर्त्तव्य का वहन
करने में सरकारी कर्मचारी की जानबूझकर लापरवाही को परिभाषित किया गया है । अपराधों की
अवधारणा को जोड़ना यदि आरोपी पीडित अथवा उसके परिवार को पहले से जानता है , तो
न्यायालय यह मानेगा कि आरोपी की पीडि़त की जाति अथवा जनजाति के बारे में पहले से संज्ञान
था, जब त‍क कि अन्यथा सिद्ध न हो।
ये सब विशेषताएं इस अमें डमें ट में हैं । इससे जिस एससी/एसटी के ऊपर अत्याचार हु आ है ,
उनको जल्दी न्याय और राहत मिलेगी तथा अत्याचार करने वालों को सख्त दं ड मिलेगा। एक
तरफ कानू न में अमें डमें ट करके एससी/एसटी वर्ग को न्याय दे ना और दू सरी तरफ एससी/एसटी
का विकास करने हे तु अनेक योजनाएं मोदी सरकार ने बनाई हैं । सामाजिक न्याय और अधिकारिता
मं �ालय का अधिदे श एक ऐसे समाज का निर्माण करना है , जिसमें लक्ष्य समूह अपनी समृद्धि और
विकास के पर्याप्त समर्थन के साथ उपयोगी, सुरक्षित और गरिमापूर्ण जीवन व्यतीत कर सकें।
अनु सूचित जाति और अनु सूचित जनजाति (अत्याचार निवारण) संशोधन अधिनियम, 2015
दिनांक 1.1.2016 को भारत के राजप�, असाधारण में अधिसूचित किया गया है । यह अधिनियम
26 जनवरी, 2016 से लागू हो गया है । वर्ष 2015 में संसद में संविधान (अनु सूचित जाति) आदे श
[�ी अमर शंकर साबले]

(संशोधन) अधिनियम, 2015 पारित किया, जिसके माध्यम से हरियाणा, कर्णाटक, ओडिशा और
दादर और नागर हवेली में अनु सूचित जातियों की सूचियों में नए समुदायों को जोड़ा गया था।
अनु सूचित जाति उद्यमियों के लिए 'उद्यम पंूजी निधि योजना' के तहत 135.91 करोड़ रूपए के
36 �स्ताव अनु मोदित हैं । 15 मामलों के लिए 64.86 करोड़ रूपए का वितरण कर दिया गया है ।
राष्ट्रीय सफाई कर्मचारी वित्त अौर विकास निगम ने 250 महिलाओं को मोटर ड्राइविंग का
�शिक्षण दिया है , जिनमें से 60 महिलाओं को काम भी मिल गया है । NSFDC की �ाधिकृत शेयर
पंूजी को 1,000 करोड़ रूपए से बढ़ाकर 1,500 करोड़ रूपए कर दिया गया है । 2.5 लाख अनु सूचित
जाति, अनु सूचित जनजाति और महिला उद्यमियों को Stand Up India में आर्थि‍क सहायता �दान
की जाएगी। 500 करोड़ रूपए के अनु सूचित जाति, अनु सूचित जनजाति उद्यमियों के लिए हब तैयार
किए जाएंगे। मु�ा योजना में आज तक करीब 3.22 करोड़ ऋण दिए हैं । उनमें से 72.89 ऋण
अनु सूचित जाति और अनु सूचित जनजातियों को दिए गए। भारत सरकार और कें�ीय सार्वजनिक
उप�म के पास सामान और सर्विस खरीदने के विशेष �ावधान हैं , जिनके अनु सार कम से कम
20 per cent खरीद सूक्ष्म और लघु उद्यम से और कम से कम 4 per cent की खरीद अनू सूचित
जाति/अनु सूचित जनजाित के उद्यमी से करवाने के लिए सशक्त कार्यवाही की जा रही है ।
इस दे श में अनू सूचित जाति/अनु सूचित जनजाित वर्ग पर होने वाले अत्याचार के खिलाफ
मोदी सरकार ने जंग छे ड़ी है । इसके बावजूद बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर की 125वीं जयंती पर जो
उनके पावन पंच तीर्थ हैं , उनका विकास करने का काम भी मोदी सरकार ने किया है । जहां बाबा
साहे ब अम्बेडकर जी का जन्म हु आ, वह महू गांव, जहां बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर जी ने आखिरी
सांस ली, वह 26, अलीपुर का बंगला, जहां बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर जी ने बौद्ध धर्म की दीक्षा ली,
वह नागपुर की दीक्षा भूमि और बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर जी का मूल गांव, रत्नागिरि जिले में जो
आंबडवे गांव है , उसके निर्माण कार्य को भी उन्होंने अपने हाथ में लिया है । मुझे उम्मीद है िक
बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर के मूल गांव आंबडवे में एेसा स्मारक बनाया जाएगा, जैसा पूरे विश्व में
कहीं पर भी नहीं होगा। मोदी सरकार बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर जी का मिशन लेकर चल रही है ,
इसलिए मैं इस संविधान संशोधन विधेयक का समर्थन करता हूं , धन्यवाद।
�ी विशम्भर �साद निषाद (उत्तर �दे श): माननीय उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, लोक सभा द्वारा
15 मार्च, 2016 को संविधान (अनु सूचित जातियां) आदे श (संशोधन) विधेयक, 2016 पारित हु आ
है । हरियाणा, केरल, छत्तीसगढ़ इत्यादि राज्यों में जातियों की जो विसंगतियां थीं, जिनका खान-
पान, शादी ब्याह, रोटी-बेटी का रिश्ता एक था, केवल पाई मा�ा का भेद था, उनके लिए राज्य
सरकारों ने �स्ताव भेजा था। इसके तहत माननीय मं �ी जी इस विधेयक को राज्य सभा में लाए
हैं , ताकि इनकी विसंगतियां दू र कर दी जाएं और इनकों अनु सूचित जाति की सुविधा दे दी जाए।
मैं माननीय मं �ी जी को बधाई दे ता हूं कि ये विसंगतियां आपने दू र कर दी हैं । बिहार सरकार

ने मल्लाह, नाई, राजभर, धानु क, खतवे, बिन्द और उत्तर �दे श सरकार ने कहार, कश्यप, केवट,
मल्लाह, निषाद, धीवर, बिन्द, धीमर, बाथम, तुरहा, गोडिया, मांझी, मछु वा, भर, राजभर, कुम्हार,
�जापति इत्यादि को शामिल किया है । कई अन्य राज्यों ने भी कें� सरकार को अपने सुझाव और
�स्ताव भेजे हैं , जिनकी सामाजिक, आिर्थक स्थि‍ति खराब है ।
माननीय मं �ी जी से हमारा यह कहना है , मं �ी जी अभी कह रहे थे कि आपने गलत संशोधन

दिया है , यह संशोधन नहीं दे ना चाहिए था। माननीय मं �ी जी, मैं आपसे कहना चाहता हूं कि
नियम संविधान से चलते हैं , कानू न से चलते हैं । एक सदस्य की है सियत से हमने राज्य सभा के
माननीय सभापति जी को अपना �स्ताव �स्तुत किया था। माननीय सभापति जी ने हमारा संशोधन
�स्ताव स्वीकृत भी कर लिया था और उसे सर्कु लेट भी करा दिया था, लेकिन इसके बाद आप
राज्य सभा की पीठ के निर्णय पर आक्षेप लगाते हैं कि यह निर्णय गलत है ।
महोदय, हम अपनी तरफ से बताना चाहते हैं कि किस तरह से आपने इन जातियों में
विसंगतियां दू र की हैं , जैसे दिल्ली में मल्लाह है । आप बताइए, मल्लाह कौन होता है ? िदल्ली
में अनु सूचित जातियों में नाव चलाने वाला मल्लाह होता है , वहीं उत्तर �दे श में मल्लाह बैकवर्ड
क्लास में आता है और मझवार, मांझी नाव चलाने वाला होता है ।
1950 की अनु सूचित जाति की सूची में उत्तर �दे श में �म संख्या 53 पर मझवार अनु सूचित
जाति में आता है । अब उसकी उप-जातियां या समनामी जातियां मल्लाह, केवट मांझी, निषाद,
मछु वा इत्यादि हैं । हमने यह अनु रोध किया था कि इनको भी इसमें जोड़ दिया जाए, जैसा उत्तर
�दे श सरकार ने �स्ताव भेजा है । इसी तरह से उत्तर �दे श में बेलदार के साथ बिन्द को जोड़
दिया जाए, गोंड के साथ गोडि़या, कहार, कश्यप, बाथम जोड़ दिया जाए। �म संख्या 59 में
पासी, तरमाली के साथ राजभर को जोड़ िदया जाए, शिल्पकार के साथ कुम्हार, �जापति को
जोड़ दिया जाए। �म संख्या 66 में तुरैहा के साथ धीमर और धीवर जोड़ दिया जाए। अभी राज्य
सभा से हिन्दी-अं�ेजी में सर्कु लेट हु आ है , तो उसमें लास्ट में तुरहा, धीमर जो है , तो इसको
हिन्दी में धीवरा कर दिया। यह अं�ेज़ी में धीवर है , लेकिन इसको धीवरा कर दिया। इसी तरह
से �ुटियां हो गईं। उन �ुटियों को सुधारने के लिए उत्तर �दे श सरकार ने भारत सरकार को
�स्ताव भेजा। वह �स्ताव एक बार नहीं भेजा गया, बल्कि यहां बार-बार �स्ताव भेजे गए। अभी
माननीय अखिलेश यादव जी की सरकार ने 15 फरवरी, 2013 को �स्ताव भेजा, तो इन्होंने फिर
क्वेरी लगा दी, तो 1 अ�ैल, 2015 को वह फिर से भेजा गया। इसके पहले भी, जब माननीय
मुलायम सिंह जी उत्तर �दे श के मुख्य मं �ी थे, उन्होंने भी �स्ताव भेजा था। इन जातियों की,
जिनकी सामाजिक, आर्थिक एवं राजनीतिक स्थिति खराब है , इनका कोई आईएएस नहीं है , कोई
आईपीएस नहीं है या कोई कर्मचारी या अधिकारी नहीं है , यहां तक िक एक दारोगा भी नहीं
मिलता है । इस तरह इनकी सामािजक-आर्थिक स्थिति खराब है । ये ऑलरे डी अनु सूचित जाति में
पहले से हैं , लेकिन अब उनको �माण प� नहीं दिया जाता है । रामचरि� निषाद जी भारतीय
जनता पार्टी के सांसद हैं । मल्लाह अनु सूचित जाति में है । तो जो विसंगतियां आ गई हैं , उनको
दू र करने के लिए ही मैं ने आपसे अनु रोध किया है । तो मैं यह कहना चाहता हूं कि माननीय
मुलायम सिंह यादव जी जब उत्तर �दे श सरकार में थे, तो उन्होंने भारत सरकार को प्रस्ताव भेजा
था। जब भारत सरकार नहीं मानी, तो उन्होंने एक अध्यादे श जारी कर दिया। उत्तर �दे श लोक
सेवा अनु सूचित जातियों, अनु सूचित जनजातियों, अन्य पिछड़े वर्गों के लिए आरक्षण अिधनियम,
1994 उत्तर �दे श अधिनियम, संख्या 4, 1994 की धारा 13 की शक्ति का �योग करके राज्यपाल
ने उक्त अिधनियम की अनु सूची में निम्नलिखित संशोधन करके कहार, कश्यप, केवट, मल्लाह,
निषाद, कुम्हार, �जापति, धीवर, बिन्द और राजभर को अनु सूचित जाति की सुविधा दे ने के लिए
आदे श जारी कर िदया। उस समय आदे श हो गया, लेकिन उधर कुछ जो सोसाइटियां थीं, कुछ
लोग थे, वे कोर्ट में चले गए। कोर्ट ने स्टे कर दिया। इसके बाद पुन: �स्ताव आपके पास भेजा
गया। मैं आपसे यही विनती करने के लिए आया हूं कि यह मामला केवल उत्तर �दे श का नहीं
[�ी विशम्भर �साद निषाद]

है , पूरे दे श का है । मैं ने अभी आपको यह बताया था कि पूरे दे श में विसंगतियां हैं । मैं कई बार
क्वेश्चन कर चुका, कई बार �ाइवेट मे म्बर बिल भी लाया। मं �ी जी कह रहे थे कि आप यह बिल
क्यों न लाए? माननीय मुलायम सिंह जी के अलावा हमारे यहां से किसी ने नहीं भेजा। पहले जब
हमारे लोग यहां नहीं थे, उस समय 'भैया राम मुन्डा राम' नामक एक केस आया था, जिसमें उस
समय यह विचार था कि विसंगतियां दू र कर ली जाएं। उस समय हमारा कोई एमपी नहीं था, न
कोई राज्य सभा में था और न ही कोई लोक सभा में था। जब माननीय मुलायम सिंह यादव जी
ने मुझे राज्य सभा में भेजा, तो हम लोगों ने कानू न पढ़ा और दे खा, तो हमने कहा कि 1950 की
अनु सूचित जाति की सूची में दर्ज है , केवल इनकी विसंगतियां दू र की जानी हैं , तो मैं यह �स्ताव
लाया। माननीय मं �ी जी बार-बार यही कह दे ते हैं कि आरजीआई आपत्ति लगाती है , आरजीआई
इसको स्वीकार नहीं करती है । तो मान्यवर, यह दे खना पड़े गा कि पूरे दे श में जो विसंगतियां हैं ,
जैसे मध्य �दे श में �जापति है , वह कहीं एससी में है , तो कहीं बैकवर्ड में है , तो इस विसंगति
को कौन दू र करे गा? भारतीय संविधान में व्यवस्था है । सेंट्रल गवर्नमें ट को संविधान के अनु च्छेद
341 में संशोधन करने की पावर है । कें� सरकार को पावर है कि वह लोक सभा राज्य सभा में
इसे लाए। तो मान्यवर, माननीय मं �ी जी यह जो बिल लाए हैं , मैं इसका स्वागत करता हूं । मैं
यही निवेदन करना चाहता हूं कि आप बार-बार यह कह दे ते हैं कि यह तर्क संगत नहीं है , हम
क्या करें ? लेकिन मैं यह पूछना चाहता हूं कि जब आप चुनाव में जाते हैं , जैसे 2012 के विधान
सभा चुनाव में गए, तो वहां 8.5 परसेंट मछु आरा समुदाय है और �जापति-राजभर की संख्या जो
है , इन सबको मिलाकर करीब 11 परसेंट पहंु चती है , तब तो कहते हैं कि इनको अनु सूचित जाति
में शामिल करें गे, अपने चुनावी एजेंडा में शामिल कर लेते हैं , लेकिन जब राज्य सभा में विशम्भर
�साद निषाद �ाइवेट मे म्बर बिल पेश करते हैं , उसका आप विरोध करते हैं और समाजवादी
पार्टी के लोग समर्थन करते हैं । ...(व्यवधान)... तो मैं आपसे यह कहना चाहता हूं कि इस तरह
की दोहरी नीति कि चुनाव में कुछ कहें गे और यहा ं कुछ कहें गे, ये विसंगतियां दू र करने का जो
अिधकार है , वह पार्लियामें ट को है । तो मैं आपसे विनती करना चाहता हूं कि नियम-कानू न को
दे ख कर जो ...(व्यवधान)...
�ीमती जया बच्चन (उत्तर �दे श): आप विनती मत करिए, हक़ मांगिए ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी िवशम्भर �साद निषाद: मैं यही निवेदन कर रहा हूं कि आप इसमें संशोधन कीजिए और
जो �स्ताव भारत सरकार को उत्तर �दे श सरकार ने, अखिलेश यादव जी की सरकार ने भेजा है ,
उसे आप मं जूर कीजिए। सर, अभी हरियाणा में हमने दे खा। हम यह नहीं कहें गे कि कौन संपन्न
है और कौन संपन्न नहीं है । वहां पर भी गरीब हैं । हर जाति में गरीब होते हैं । जब हरियाणा में
जाट समुदाय ने रेल जाम कर दी, बसें रोक दीं, रोड जाम कर दी, गैर-जाट लोगों की गाडि़यां
जला दीं, दु कानें जला दीं, तो भारतीय जनता पार्टी और पूरी कें� सरकार खड़ी हो गई और
तुरंत कमे टी बनाकर उनको आरक्षण दे िदया और मछु आ समुदाय, राजभर, �जापति समाज के
लोग कानू न के माध्यम से आपसे अपना हक मांग रहे हैं , वे लोग िनवेदन कर रहे हैं ...
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Thank

you. Time allotted to you is over. Please conclude.
�ी िवशम्भर �साद निषाद: इसके लिए उत्तर �दे श सरकार �स्ताव भिजवा रही है , लेकिन
आप उसको खारिज कर रहे हैं ।
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Kindly

conclude now, please.
�ी िवशम्भर �साद निषाद: उत्तर �दे श में 2017 में चुनाव होने वाले हैं । वहां पर ये मछु आ,
�जापति, राजभर समाज के लोग भारतीय जनता पार्टी को उत्तर �दे श से खदे ड़ने का काम
करें गे। ...(व्यवधान)... आप इसको मं जूर कराइए, आप अपना वादा पूरा कीजिए, जो आपने 2012
में अपने चुनाव घोषणा-प� में किया था। आप अपना घोषणा-प� दे ख लीजिए। आप अपने चुनाव
घोषणा-प� में वादा करते हैं , उसके बाद आप उससे मुकर जाते हैं ।

conclude now, please.
�ी िवशम्भर �साद िनषाद: हम कोई अलग से इसमें जातियों को जोड़ने की बात नहीं कर
रहे हैं , बल्कि ये जातियां पहले से ही उत्तर �दे श में 1950 की जो अनु सूचित जाति एवं अनु सूचित
जनजाति की सूची है , उसमें दर्ज है , चाहे वह शिल्पकार हो या मझवार जाति हो। शिल्पकार
कौन होता है ? िशल्पकार कुम्हार होता है , जो बर्तन बनाता है । उसी जाति को जोड़ने की बात
मैं कर रहा हूं ।
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Okay.

Thank you. You complete it now.
�ी िवशम्भर �साद िनषाद: सर, मैं आपके माध्यम से माननीय मं �ी जी से यह निवेदन करना
चाहता हूं कि आप हठ छोड़िए और उत्तर �दे श या बिहार के जो फिशरमै न समुदाय के लोग
हैं , चाहे धानु क हों, उन सब लोगों के साथ न्याय कीजिए। अगर आप उन लोगों के साथ न्याय
नहीं करें गे, तो जिस तरह से बिहार में आपका ह� हु आ है , वही ह� उत्तर �दे श में होगा, चाहे
आप कितने ही लोग छोड़ दीजिए या रथ या�ा निकाल लीजिए। एक मुकेश साहनी से कोई फर्क
पड़ने वाला नहीं है । उत्तर �दे श की जनता आपको बिहार की तरह बाहर करने का काम करे गी।
इसके साथ ही मैं इस बिल का समर्थन करता हूं , परं तु साथ ही यह निवेदन करना चाहता हूं
कि मे रा संशोधन पास कराया जाए।
डा. अनिल कुमार साहनी (बिहार): सर, बिहार में भी यही समस्या है । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी के. सी. त्यागी (बिहार): आदरणीय उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, मैं समाजवादी पार्टी के सांसद
�ी िवशम्भर �साद निषाद जी की चिंताओं से अपने आपको संबद्ध करते हु ए इस संविधान संशोधन
िवधेयक का दु खी और कमजोर मन से समर्थन करने के लिए खड़ा हु आ हूं । कमजोर मन से इसलिए
बोल रहा हूं क्योंकि जो जातियां पहले से ही SC, ST में हैं , वे अत्याचार, अपमान, उपेक्षा, शोषण,
उत्पीड़न, गैर-बराबरी, अन्याय, तिरस्कार, इंसान और पशुओं के बीच के मामूली अंतर से जीने
वाली जातीय सूची में उसी तरह की जिन्दगी िजएंगी, जैसी पहले से SC, ST की अन्य जातियां
जिन्दगी को जी रही हैं । डा. अम्बेडकर, कांशीराम जी और रोहित वेमुला की तरह इन वर्गों में
कुछ स्वाभिमानी नौजवान निकलेंगे, इस उम्मीद के साथ मैं अपनी बात शुरू करना चाहता हूं ।
सर, दु निया की जितनी भी संस्कृतियां हैं , जितनी भी सभ्यताएं हैं , सब में �गति हो रही है ।
जो दु निया का सबसे ताकतवर मुल्क है अमे रिका, उसने राष्ट्रपति के रहने के लिए एक जगह
[�ी के. सी. त्यागी]

बनाई थी, जिसका नाम था ह्वाइट हाउस। दु निया इतनी बदल गई कि उसमें काला शामिल हो
गया। ह्वाइट हाउस के अंदर काला आदमी जाकर बैठ गया, लेकिन हमारे भारतीय समाज में
गांधी जी से लेकर, डा. अम्बेडकर से लेकर समाज को बदलने वाले, करवट लेने जिन लोगों ने
इन सवालों को उठाया, उनको जितना अपमान झे लना पड़ा, सर, ऐसा अपमान किसी को नहीं
झे लना पड़ा। डा. अम्बेडकर का जो चपरासी था, वह भी फाइलों को मे ज पर फेंक करके जाता
था, जो दु निया के िवद्वान लोगों में से एक हु आ है । हमारे बिहार के नेता थे कर्पूरी ठाकुर जी। वे
अति पिछड़ी जाति में पैदा हु ए थे। वे 'नाई' जाति में पैदा हु ए थे, लेकिन आज़ादी की लड़ाई के
दौरान वे जेल में रहे और बिहार में उनसे ज्यादा travel और किसी नेता ने नहीं किया, लेकिन
उनको उनकी गैर-हाजिरी में कर्पूरी जी नहीं कहते थे, बल्कि उनको 'नौआ' कहते थे। यानी कि
जाति भी आप बनाओ, जाति को घटिया साबित भी आप करो और उन्हीं सम्बोधनों से उन्हीं वर्गों
के लोगों को अपमानित करने का काम भी आप करो। सर, ऐसा असभ्य, बर्बर और अगर यह
असंसदीय नहीं है , तो जाहिल समाज दु निया में हमें दे खने-सुनने को नहीं मिला, जहां इंसान-
इंसान के बीच में इतनी गैर-बराबरी है ।
सर, समूचे दे श में जब-जब भी इन वर्गों के उत्साही, स्वाभिमानी और समानता की जिन्दगी

जीने की चाह रखने वाले लोगों ने थोड़े -बहु त कदम उठाए, उनकी बारात चढ़ने नहीं दी गई।
ऐसे दर्जनों किस्से हैं िक जब इन गरीब वर्गों या जातियों का कोई दू ल्हा शादी करने के लिए
जा रहा था, तो उसको उतारकर उसकी पिटाई की गई। ऐसे कुछ खास मोहल्ले तय हो गए,
जहां इन शू�ों की औलादें शादियां करने के लिए भी घोड़े पर बैठकर नहीं जाएंगी, क्योंकि घोड़े
या रथ पर बैठकर जाने की परम्परा का निर्वाह करने वाली कुछ जातियां या समूह, जिनके नाम
यह रुतबा और जलवा कायम है , रजिस्टर्ड है और सुरक्षित है ।
सर, ये जातियां शेड्यूल्ड कास्ट्स में शामिल हो जाएंगी और इनका भला हो जाएगा, यह
गलतफहमी गहलोत साहब को हो सकती है , जो खुद एक सामान्य दलित परिवार से आते हैं ,
लेकिन मे रे राजनीतिक जीवन का यह अनु भव है कि इन वर्गों को कोई राहत मिलेगी, मुझे ऐसा
नहीं लगता है । लेकिन आपने एक अच्छा काम किया है , उसका विरोध करने का साहस मे रा
इसलिए नहीं है , क्योंकि मैं , मे री पार्टी और मे रे नेता डा. लोहिया इन वर्गों की हिमायत में लम्बे
समय से रहे हैं ।
सर, अब मैं हायर एजुकेशन की बात करुं । अगर रोहित का केस न हु आ होता तो बहु त सारे
जो एकलव्य शहीद हु ए, उनका इतिहास में जि� नहीं होता। 18 दलित छा�ों ने सुइसाइड किया
है । मुझे बहु त �सन्नता होती जब आप कम से कम एक बार भी है दराबाद यूनिवर्सिटी में जाते।
...(व्यवधान)... ऐसा है कि आपके वर्गों के अत्याचारों से ही तंग आकर वे लोग ऐसा काम करते
हैं , इसलिए मैं इसका जवाब आपको नहीं दे सकता। सर, वह बड़ी भारी पीड़ा है । मनोज सिन्हा
जी की सरकार का ही सरकारी आंकड़ा है । नेशनल �ाइम ब्यूरों का यह आंकड़ा है कि दे श में
हर 14 मिनट में किसी न किसी दलित के साथ अत्याचार होता है । मैं चाहता हूं कि गहलोत जी
इस विभाग के मं �ी है , वे मना करें कि मैं असत्य बोल रहा हूं , ताकि मे रे और इनके बीच एक
और बहस हो जाए। चार दलित महिलाओं के साथ बलात्कार होता है । जब दिल्ली में सभ्य समाज
में इस तरह की घटनाएं होती हैं , तो हम लोग मोमबत्ती लेकर इंडिया गेट पर जाते हैं , लेकिन
जहां ये घटनाएं होती हैं , वहां रोशनी भी मद्धिम होती है और मोमबत्तियां भी उपलब्ध नहीं होती
हैं , मैं उन वर्गों का जि� यहां करना चाहता हूं ।
4.00 p.m.
सर, हर सप्ताह 13 दलित मारे जाते हैं , दिल्ली में नहीं, कनॉट प्लेस में नहीं, गुड़गांव में
नहीं, नोएडा में नहीं बल्कि जहां सभ्यताओं के विकास नहीं हु ए हैं , उन इलाकों की मैं बात कर
रहा हूं । नरे ं� तोमर जी आप समझ रहे होंगे। छ: दलितों का अपहरण किया जाता है । वर्ष 2013
की �ाइम रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, 1,574 दलित महिलाओं के साथ उस साल रे प हु आ, 651 दलित
मारे गए। उनको नंगा करके घुमाने और परे ड कराने का जि� अभी मे री बाईं बाजू के कोई साथी
कर रहे थे। ये रोजमर्रा की चीजें़ हैं । एससीज़-एसटीज़ के 71.3 परसेंट बच्चे हाई स्कू ल आते-
आते अपनी पढ़ाई छोड़ दे ते हैं । जिन जातियों को आप इन वर्गों या समूह में शामिल कर रहे हैं
...(व्यवधान)... गहलोत जी, आप इनसे बाद में बात कर लीजिएगा। मैं अापसे गंभीर बात कहने
जा रहा हूं । एससीज़-एसटीज़ के 71.3 परसेंट बच्चे और बच्चियां हाई स्कू ल आते-आते अपनी
पढ़ाई छोड़ दे ते हैं और कभी-कभी गलती से उनमें रोहित पैदा हो जाते हैं , अम्बेडकर पैदा हो
जाते हैं , कांशीराम पैदा हो जाते हैं । मे रा आपसे यह िनवेदन है कि आप एक दर्जन जातियों को
उसी च�व्यूह में डाल रहे हैं , जिसमें पहले से ही वेदना, तकलीफ, गैर-बराबरी और असमानता है ।
सर, मैं आपके माध्यम से यह कहना चाहता हूं कि इस समय जिस तरह की सभ्यता का
विकास हो रहा है , माफ कीजिएगा, अं�ेजों के समय में भी जातिगत भेदभाव इतना नहीं था।
अं�ेजों ने किसी की जाति पहचान कर उसके साथ अन्याय नहीं किया था। सर, अगर मे री बहस
लम्बी न हो, तो मैं एक बात कहना चाहता हूं । मैं जब नौवीं लोक सभा में एमपी बनकर आया,
तो मैं वेस्टर्न कोर्ट में ठहर गया। एक साइमन नाम का ि‍�श्चियन बूढ़ा था, जो वहां सबको चाय
दे ने आता था। वह काले रं ग का था। मैं ने उससे कहा कि आम तौर पर यह माना जाता है कि
ईसाई गोरे होते हैं , लेकिन क्या बात है ? उसने कहा कि मैं सन् 1947 में ही ईसाई बन गया था।
जब मैं ने उससे इसका कारण पूछा तो उसने कहा कि सन् 1947 की जो असेंबली थी, जिसमें
वेस्टर्न कोर्ट में एमपीज़ का दफ्तर था, जब मैं पहले दिन वहां चाय लेकर गया तो मुझसे पूछा
गया कि तुम्हारी बिरादरी कौन सी है ? जब उसने कहा कि बाल्मीकि है , तो उससे कहा गया
कि चाय लेकर वापस जाओ। वही साइमन सन् 1990 तक ईसाई बनकर चाय पिलाता रहा। ऐसी
�ूर व्यवस्था, ऐसे �ूर शोषण की जो बानगी है , वह दु निया में कहीं नहीं मिलेगी। काले लोगों
को न्याय मिल गया, लेकिन यहां के दलित, खास तौर से यहां की दलित महिलाओं को न्याय
नहीं मिला। महोदय, एक तो दलित होना ही अपने आप में अभिशाप है , अगर दलित महिला हो
तो गुलामी की �ूरतम सीमा क्या होगी, उसका अंदाज़ा आप लगा सकते हैं । अभी मे रे कां�ेस
के मि� ने कुछ सवाल उठाए, भाजपा के मि� ने कुछ सवाल उठाए, लेकिन इन तकलीफों की
हिस्सेदारी के लिए भी सदन जिस तरह का भरा-पूरा होना चाहिए था, वैसा नहीं है ।
�ी राजपाल सिंह सैनी (उत्तर �दे श): त्यागी जी, हमारी बहन कुमारी मायावती एक दलित
महिला होने के बावजूद उत्तर �दे श में राज कर रही हैं । वे गरीब लोगों की नेता हैं ।
�ी के. सी. त्यागी: मे री और आपकी बात में शायद ज्यादा फर्क नहीं है । आप पश्चिम यूपी
के हैं , इसलिए कह सकते हैं । आपने शायद वे तकलीफें दे खी या सुनी होंगी, जो इन वर्गों के
साथ हु ई हैं । जब हम पैदा हु ए, जब हम बड़े हु ए, हमारा स्कू ल टीचर हमें हाथ से मारता था
और जो हमारा दलित मि� गौतम था, उसे डं डे से मारता था। ये असमानताएं हमारे पैदा होने
के साथ हैं । हम लोगों के नाम अलग होते थे, वे राम भरोसे, राम िखलावन, राम सुभावन, राम
लुभावन थे, उनके नाम भी अलग होते थे क्योंकि वे राम के भरोसे थे। हमारे कंु वर चं� �ताप,
[�ी के. सी. त्यागी]

वीर सिंह, मानवें� कंु वर �ताप— हम लोगों के नाम वीरताओं से भरे होते थे, चाहे हमारा पूरा
इतिहास कायरता का भरा हु आ था। नाम से लेकर, पैदा होने से लेकर जिस दिन नाभि कटती
है , उस दिन से लेकर मरने तक यह असमानता हमारे हिन्दुस्तान में रही। भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप
का मुसलमान भी इस बीमारी से बचा हु आ नहीं है , मैं केवल हिन्दुओं के लिए नहीं कहना चाहता।
इसी जाति व्यवस्था के िखलाफ सिख धर्म बना, इसी जाति व्यवस्था के खिलाफ बुद्ध धर्म बना।
यह बौद्ध धर्म कई हज़ार साल और चलता। चूंिक जाति व्यवस्था पर इसका �हार था, इसलिए
जो ताकतें जाति की समर्थक थीं, उन्होंने बौद्ध धर्म को चलने नहीं दिया। अगर आप मुझसे कहते
तो दु निया के जितने भी धर्म हैं , सबसे सहज और आसान बौद्ध धर्म है , लेकिन उसका गला भी
इसलिए घोंटा क्योंिक वह जाति व्यवस्था को तोड़ता था।
महोदय, मैं अपनी बात को समाप्त करता हूं , शायद मैं लम्बा बोल गया क्योंकि मे रा दर्द
किताबों का पढ़ा हु आ ही नहीं है , मैं समाजवादी आंदोलन का एक कार्यकर्ता रहा हूं । हमारे जो
डा. लोहिया थे, वे भोज कराते थे, उस ज़माने के समाजवादी के लिए यह madatory था कि
वह महीने में एक दिन किसी न किसी बाल्मीकि के यहां जाकर भोज में शामिल हो। सर, दु निया
बदल रही है । नयी आर्थिक नीतियां आ गयी हैं । उसके बारे में भी �चार है कि नयी हैं । ये नयी
आर्थिक नीतियां किसी और के लिए नहीं, इन दलितों का, शू�ों का गला घोंटने के लिए आयी
हैं क्योंिक सरकारी नौकरियों में थोड़ा-बहु त आरक्षण इन्हें मिल जाता था। अब जो नया ज़माना
चला है , नए ज़माने के जो पैरोकार चले हैं , उनके रहते इन वर्गों के बच्चों को आगे आने वाले
समय में नौकरी भी नहीं िमलेगी। सर, उत्तर �दे श समे त आधा दर्जन हिन्दुस्तान है , जहां एक
भी वाइस चांसलर दलित नहीं है । जब दलित वाइस चांसलर नहीं होगा, तो उसको उन वर्गों के
नौजवानों की पीड़ा का एहसास कैसे होगा? ''जा के पैर न फटी बिवाई, वो क्या जाने पीर पराई?''
इसलिए ये जो जातियां शामिल हो रही हैं , मैं इनका आदर, समादार करते हु ए गहलोत जी से
अपनी स‍ि�यता थोड़ी सी और बढ़ाने के लिए कहना चाहता हूं। जहां भी जुल्म ज्यादती हो, जहां
भी गैर-बराबरी हो, जहां भी अन्याय हो, आप भी वहां पर जाने का काम करें । आपके है दराबाद
न जाने तक और है दराबाद की ट्रेजेडी को सरकारी पक्ष की तरफ से �स्तुत करने के लिए, मुझे
आपसे पीड़ा भी है । ...(व्यवधान)... आप पहले से ही पीड़ा में हैं , इसलिए मैं आपकी पीड़ा को
ज्यादा नहीं बढ़ाना चाहता हूं । इसी के साथ मैं अपनी बात समाप्त करता हूं । बहु त-बहु त धन्यवाद।
�ी सतीश चं� मि�ा (उत्तर �दे श): आपने जिस �दे श का जि� किया है , आज सुबह ही
उन्होंने जवाब दिया है कि उत्तर �दे श में जो दलित बच्चे पढ़ रहे हैं , उनके लिए एक नये पैसे की
डिमांड समाजवादी पार्टी की सरकार ने नहीं की है । इसीलिए इन्होंने िदया नहीं है । ...(व्यवधान)...
यह तो इनकी समानता की बात है । ...(व्यवधान)...
उपसभाध्यक्ष (डा. ई. एम. सुदर्श न नाच्चीयप्पन): �ी वीर सिंह ...(व्यवधान)... आप लोग

बैठ जाइए। ...(व्यवधान)... �ी वीर सिंह ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी वीर सिंह (उत्तर �दे श): उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, संविधान (अनु सूचित जातियां) आदे श
(संशोधन) विधेयक, 2016 पर, जो एक बहु त महत्वपूर्ण विषय है , इस पर हमारी नेता आदरणीय
बहन कुमारी मायावती जी ने मुझे बोलने का अवसर दिया, इसके लिए मैं उनका धन्यवाद अदा
उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, संविधान (अनु सूचित जातियां) आदे श (संशोधन) विधेयक, 2016 के
संबंध में हरियाणा, केरल, ओडिशा, पश्चिम बंगाल और छत्तीसगढ़ राज्यों में अनु सूचित जातियों
की सूची का संशोधन या िवद्यमान �वििष्टयों को उपांतरित करने के लिए संविधान (अनु सूचित
जातियां) आदे श, 1950 का और संशोधन करने के लिए जो विधेयक लाया गया है , उस पर बोलने
के लिए मैं अपनी पार्टी की तरफ से खड़ा हु आ हूं ।
उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, आज समाज की सबसे अंतिम पंक्ति में बैठे उन व्यक्तियों की आवाज
उठाने के लिए मैं खड़ा हु आ हूं , जिनको सामाजिक, आर्थिक एवं शैक्षणिक दृिष्ट से आज भी बराबरी
पर लाए जाने हे तु सरकार द्वारा बहु त कुछ करने की आवश्यकता है । परमपूज्य डॉ. भीमराव
अम्बेडकर जी के अंत:करण में यही पीड़ा थी कि हमारे समाज के वंचित लोग, जो विकास की
दौड़ में पिछड़ गए हैं , उनको बराबरी पर लाने के लिए किस तरह से �यत्न किए जाएं। यह
विधेयक शायद ऐसे तबके के लोगों की �गति में एक मील का पत्थर साबित होगा।
उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, जब उत्तर �दे श में बहु जन समाज पार्टी की सरकार थी तब बहन
कुमारी मायावती जी मुख्य मं �ी थीं। उन्होंने अपने शासन काल में उत्तर �दे श की 17 पिछड़ी
जातियों को अनु सूचित जाति में सम्मिलित किया जाए, ऐसा �स्ताव कें� सरकार को भेजा था,
जो अभी तक पास नहीं हु आ है । बहन कुमारी मायावती जी का यह भी कहना था कि उत्तर �दे श
के साथ-साथ पूरे दे श में जिन जातियों को अनु सूचित जाति में सम्मिलित किया जा रहा है , उस
अनु पात में अनु सूचित जाति का आरक्षण भी बढ़ाया जाए, आरक्षण कोटा भी बढ़ाया जाए, क्योंकि
इसमें समय-समय पर संशोधन हो रहा है और विभिन्न जातियों को अनु सूचित जाति की सूची में
जोड़ा जा रहा है , इससे उनकी आबादी बढ़ती चली जा रही है , किन्तु आरक्षण का �तिशत वहीं
का वहीं पर है । हमारी नेता कुमारी मायावती ने इसकी कई बार मांग की है । मे रा निवेदन है कि
माननीय मं �ी जी को इस ओर भी ध्यान दे ना चाहिए कि जिस तरीके से अनु सूचित जातियों की
संख्या बढ़ रही है , उसी अनु पात में आरक्षण कोटा भी बढ़ना चाहिए। यह हमारी पार्टी की मांग
है , यह हमारी नेता की मांग है ।
उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, आज भी बहु त सी जातियां ऐसी हैं जो कुछ राज्यों में अनु सूचित जाति
की �ेणी में हैं , जबकि दू सरे राज्यों में उनको सामान्य �ेणी या अन्य पिछड़े वर्ग में रखा गया है ।
कुछ जातियां रोजगार की तलाश में दू सरे राज्यों में जाती हैं , परन्तु वहां पहुं चने के बाद उनके
साथ वही छु आछू त का व्यवहार किया जाता है , अस्पृश्यता का भेदभावपूर्ण व्यवहार किया जाता
है और अपनी जाति का लाभ उन्हें वहां पर नहीं मिलता है । मे रा मानना है कि ऐसे व्यक्तियों
को भी अपनी जाति का लाभ मिलना चाहिए। उनको व उनकी संतानों को सारी सुविधाएं उक्त
कैटे गरी में दी जानी चाहिए, परं तु ऐसा नहीं होता है ।
उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, पूरे दे श में अनु सूचित जाति के लोग अपनी रोजी-रोटी के लिए एक
�दे श से दू सरे �दे श में चले जाते हैं , जैसे मुम्बई है या दिल्ली दे श की राजधानी है । यहां पर
पूरे दे श से अनु सूचित जाति के लोग अपनी रोजी-रोटी के लिए आ जाते हैं । वे अपने �दे श से
आकर दिल्ली, मुम्बई या दे श के बड़े -बड़े शहरों में आकर बस गए, लेकिन वहां की सरकारें
उनको अनु सूचित जाति का लाभ नहीं दे ती हैं । जब उनको किसी सरकारी नौकरी के लिए फार्म
भरना होता है , तो उनको वहां से अनु सूचित जाति का सर्टिफिकेट जारी नहीं होता है । उधर
जिस �दे श से वह आया है , वहां से उसका नाम कट गया और उस �दे श में उसका नाम जोड़ा
[�ी वीर सिंह]

नहीं जा रहा है । यह आज बहु त बड़ी गंभीर समस्या है । इसमें भी बदलाव लाना चाहिए, संशोधन
लाना चाहिए, क्योंकि िदल्ली में पूरे देश के अनुसूचित जाति के लोग आकर बस गए हैं। वे यहां
के निवासी हो गए, किंतु दिल्ली सरकार उनको अनु सूचित जाति का �माण-प� नहीं दे ती है ।
वह उनको �माण-प� नहीं दे ती है , इसलिए उनको इसका लाभ नहीं िमलता है । इसी �कार से
मुम्बई की हालत है । मुम्बई के अंदर भी पूरे दे श से लोग रोजी-रोटी के लिए पहंु चे हैं । वे जिस
�दे श से आए हैं , उनका उस जाति से वहां पर नाम कट गया। वहां से उनको सर्टिफिकेट नहीं
मिलता है और इधर भी उनको सर्टिफिकेट नहीं िदया जाता। इसलिए मैं माननीय मं �ी जी से
यह निवेदन करूं गा कि उनको इस ओर भी ध्यान दे ना चाहिए और संविधान में इस संशोधन को
लाकर, उनको पूरा लाभ दिया जाना चाहिए।
महोदय, हमारे समाज मे जातिगत भेदभाव और जातिगत पहचान बड़े पैमाने पर व्याप्त है
और यह क्षमताओं का िवकास करने और ऐसे वंचित लोगों को लाभ नहीं दे सकी है । अत: ऐसे
समाज के सबसे अंतिम छोर पर खड़े इन व्यक्तियों के बारे में सरकार को सामाजिक समानता को
बढ़ाने हे तु बजट बढ़ाए जाने व पूर्णरूपेण बजट खर्च की आवश्यकता है । साथ ही साथ अनु सूचित
जाति के वर्ग के बंधुओं को उनकी �मोशन में और आरक्षण में लाभ दे ने की आवश्यकता है ।
सरकार के द्वारा जो कुछ क्षे� या तबके वंचित रह गए हैं , उन वंचित क्षे�ों या तबकों के बारे
में भी विचार करते हु ए सम्पूर्ण �स्ताव या विधेयक लाकर उनको अनु सूचित जातियों की �ेणी में
शामिल करने की आवश्यकता है ।
मे रा सरकार से अनु रोध है कि वह समतामूलक समाज की अवधारणाा स्थापित करे , जिससे

इस जाति का पिछड़ापन, असमानता व गैर-बराबरी के लिहाज से समाप्त कर समाज में एकरूपता
लाई जा सके। इसके लिए सरकार को किश्तों में संशोधन नहीं करना चाहिए, बल्कि एक बार
पूरी तरह से जांच करके करना चाहिए। आज तक पूरे दे श की यह जनगणना नहीं हो पाई कि
कुल अनु सूचित जातियां कितनी है , अनु सूचित जनजातियां कितनी हैं और न ही उस हिसाब से
उनको फायदा मिल रहा है , इसलिए इस ओर भी ध्यान दे ना चाहिए।
महोदय, बड़े दु ख के साथ कहना पड़ रहा है कि परमपूज्य डॉ. भीमराव अम्बेडकर साहे ब ने
भारतीय संविधान में अनु सूचित जाति, अनु सूचित जनजाति व पिछड़े लोगों को जो अिधकार दिए
थे, वे आज तक उनको �ाप्त नहीं हु ए हैं , जैसे कि सरकारी नौकरियों में हैं । किसी भी विभाग में
सरकारी नौकारियों में अनु सूचित जाति का आज तक आरक्षण कोटा पूरा नहीं हु आ है । चाहे सत्ता
में इधर की सरकार रही हो या उधर की सरकार रही हो, किसी भी सरकार ने इस पर ध्यान
नहीं दिया है और आज तक आरक्षण कोटा पूरा नहीं हु आ है । दे श के किसी भी �दे श में आज
तक बैकलॉग पूरा नहीं हुआ है। हमारे देश में केवल एक ही �देश, उत्तर �देश ऐसा है, जहां
cent per cent बैकलॉग पूरा हु आ। यह कब पूरा हु आ, जब उत्तर �दे श में बहु जन समाज पार्टी
के नेतृत्व में सरकार बनी और बहन मायावती जी मुख्य मं �ी बनीं। उन्होंने एक विशेष अभियान
चलाकर, पूरे उत्तर �दे श के हर सरकारी विभाग में जहां लाखों रिक्तियां थीं, उनको भरने का
काम किया तथ साथ ही यह आदे श भी जारी किया कि जो अधिकारी इस कार्य को पूरा नहीं
करे गा, उसके िखलाफ मुकदमा दायर करके जेल भेजो। इस �कार से एक समय-सीमा के अंतर्गत
बैकलागॅ पूरा हो गया। उत्तर �दे श में बैकलॉग क्यों पूरा हो गया, क्योंिक बहन मायावती जी की
नीयत साफ है । उन्होंने गरीबों के लिए, अनु सूचित जाति के लिए जो बैकलागॅ पूरा कर िदया, तो
दे श के अन्य �दे शों में यह बैकलॉग पूरा क्यों नहीं हो रहा है । दे श में कां�ेस पार्टी की सरकार
ने 55 सालों तक सबसे ज्यादा लम्बे अर्से तक शासन किया। �दे शों में भी आपकी सरकारें रहीं,
लेकिन आपकी नीयत साफ नहीं थी। आज भी आपकी सरकारें कई �दे शों में हैं , लेकिन आज
भी वहां बैकलागॅ पूरा नहीं हो रहा है । जब भारतीय संविधान लागू हु आ था तब बाबा साहे ब ने
26 जनवरी, 1950 को ठीक ही कहा था कि संविधान के तहत तुम्हें जो अिधकार मिले हैं , वे
अधिकार तुम्हें तभी मिलेंगे, जब संविधान चलाने वालों की नीयत साफ होगी। संविधान के अनु सार
ही सरकारें चलती हैं । सरकार किसकी रही, सरकर कां�ेस की रही या बीजेपी की रही। आप
दोनों दलों की सरकारें ज्यादा लम्बे अर्से तक रही हैं , किंतु आज तक आपने किसी भी �दे श में
सरकारी नौकरियों में बैकलॉग पूरा नहीं किया है ।

THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (SHRI E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Thank

you. Now, Shri K. Somaprasad. ...(Interruptions)... Yes, it is his maiden speech.
SHRI K. SOMAPRASAD (Kerala): Hon. Vice-Chairman, Sir, and, hon. Minister,

first of all, I extend my support to this Amendment Bill. Sir, in section 2(b), Part
VIII - Kerala, there is a proposal to include 'peruvannan' in the SC list. Actually,
'peruvannan' is not a separate community. It is a part of the 'vannan' community.
And, 'vannan' community is already included in the SC list. So, the inclusion of
'peruvannan' is a genuine thing, and, we support it. Regarding the 'malayan' community
in Kerala, in ten Districts, it is included in the Scheduled Tribes list, and, now, in
four Districts, it is included in the Scheduled Castes list.
Sir, I would like to draw your attention to some other points. Sir, the reservation
benefit is a constitutional right to the Scheduled Castes but certain sections of the
people, even though they belong to the Scheduled Caste community, are denied this
benefit. While enjoying the Constitutional benefits in education, a large number of
SC people get education and better employment; but as part of their jobs, they are
forced to migrate from the native States to some other States. Due to some other
reasons also, for example, marriage relationships and things like that, migration of
the SC people is going on, and, they are settling in other States.
Sir, the SC list is prepared by the State Government and its jurisdiction is within
the State. Here lies the problem. A person, whose community is included in the list
of Scheduled Castes in his native State, may not be a member of the...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: Sir, the Minister is absent. ...(Interruptions)...
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (SHRI E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Another

Cabinet Minister is here. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: I think we are discussing a Bill. It is not a

general discussion. ..(Interruptions)..
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E.M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Mr.

Somaprasad, you please proceed. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: But the Minister must be here.
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS AND

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS
(SHRI MUKHTAR ABBAS NAQVI): The Minister is coming. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI K. SOMAPRASAD: Sir, shall I continue? ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: Or, is it being taken for granted? ...(Interruptions)...
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): He has

gone just now. I saw him. ...(Interruptions)...
�ी मुख्तार अब्बास नक़वी: तपन जी, वे बस अभी आ रहे हैं ।

take note of this particular issue and make the Minister reply on this issue. Please
proceed, Mr. Somaprasad.
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: Migration has become a general phenomenon.

People are going to other State and are being deprived of the SC status. That is
the central point. And it is continuing year after year. So, he must respond on that.
THE MINISTER OF MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES

(SHRI KALRAJ MISHRA): He is coming, Sir.
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Please

proceed.
SHRI K. SOMAPRASAD: So, a person whose community is included in the

‘Scheduled Castes’ list in his native State may not be a member of the Scheduled
Castes in the State where he is now settled. So, the people migrated from one State
to, the other may not get the benefit of reservation. This is unfair and against the
Constitution. After all, all the States are part of the Indian Union. Our Constitution is
the supreme authority. Hence, each and every member of the SC community should
get the benefit throughout India. But now, he is not getting it! Only the Central
Government can take appropriate action. The Central Government should interfere
in this crucial issue and should take over whatever is possible.
Another point is, the 2011 Census Report says that the SC and ST population
in India is increased to 25.2 per cent. But the reservation is only 22.5 per cent. So,
the reservation percentage has to be increased accordingly.
Another point is, as has already been explained by the hon. Members earlier, at
every point, privatization is the Government's policy and they are doing it. Actually,
privatization is against the interests of the Scheduled Castes people because through
reservation they get employment only in the public sector and the Government
sector. Now, the Government is privatizing the public sector and they are losing
the job opportunities. So, we demand that reservation should be implemented in the
private sector also. That can be implemented because several Acts and rules are
implemented in the private sector. So, this can also be implemented. Hence, the
Government should take appropriate steps to give reservation in jobs in the private
sector also. Thank you, Sir.
�ी दिलीप कुमार तिर्की (ओडिशा): उपसभाध्यक्ष महोदय, अनु सूचित जाति के अन्दर अलग-
अलग जातियों को दिए जाने वाले आदे श में संविधान के मुताबिक समय-समय पर संशोधन किया
जाता है । इस �कार एक तरह से यह एक रूटीन मै टर है । यह जो 2016 का संशोधन विधेयक
है , जिसमें ओडिशा से संबंधित कुछ संशोधन भी किए गए हैं । असल में अभी तक अनु सूचित जाति
और जनजातियों की जो सूची है , वह पूरी तरह से फूल�ूफ नहीं है । महोदय, मैं आपके माध्यम
से माननीय मं �ी जी से अनु रोध करना चाहूं गा कि ओडिशा सरकार की तरफ से कुछ जातियों
को अनु सूचित जाति की लिस्ट में शामिल करने का �स्ताव आया है , उसको अनु सूचित जाति
और जनजातियों की सूची में शामिल किया जाए। इसके साथ ही साथ, जो सूची है , उसमें कुछ
बदलाव करने का भी अनु रोध किया गया है , जैसे 'सुवालगिरी' की जगह 'स्वालगिरी' करने का
अनु रोध किया गया है । इस सूची में जिन जातियों को शामिल करने का अनु राध किया गया है ,
उसके नाम हैं — िचक और चिक बडाइक। हम इन दो जातियों को अनु सूचित जाति में शामिल
करने का अनु रोध कर रहे हैं । कई जगह ऐसा दे खने को मिला है कि एक ही जाति के लोग
किसी राज्य में अनु सूचित जाति की लिस्ट में हैं , तो पड़ोसी राज्य में वे उस लिस्ट से बाहर हैं ।
इसी तरह की समस्याओं के कारण आए दिन इस लिस्ट में संशोधन की मांग उठती रहती है ।
सर, मे रे विचार से आज जरूरत इस बात की है कि इस लिस्ट की राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर एक

समीक्षा की जाए। यह काम मुश्किल जरूर है, लेकिन यह बहुत आवश्यक है। यदि कुछ जातियां
हकदार होने के बावजूद इस सूची से बाहर छू ट गई हैं या कुछ दू सरी जातियां गलती से इस
सूची में आ गई हैं , तो इन गड़बडि़यों को दू र किया जाना चाहिए।
महोदय, मैं इस बिल का समर्थन करते हु ए सरकार को यह सुझाव दे ना चाहता हूं कि

अनु सूचित जाति और अनु सूचित जनजातियों की सूची की व्यापक जांच कराई जाए और इसे
अपडे टेड बनाया जाए। मैं एक बात और कहना चाहता हूं , जिसको मैं पहले भी कह चुका हूं , वह
यह है कि कें� सरकार की नौकरि‍यों में बड़ी संख्या में एससी के कोटे के पद खाली पड़े हु ए
हैं । मे री यह मांग है कि उनको भरने के लिए स्पेशल ड्राइव चलाई जाए।
सर, दू सरी बात मैं यह कहना चाहता हूं कि जिस तरह सरकारी क्षे� में नौकरी के अवसर
घट रहे हैं , उससे हम लोगों को �ाइवेट सेक्टर में भी एससी/एसटी आरक्षण के बारे में सोचना
होगा। अगर हम इस पर नहीं सोचेंगे, तो इस �कार सिर्फ लिस्ट में फेर-बदल करने से इसका
जमीनी स्तर पर कोई फायदा नहीं होगा। इन्हीं शब्दों के साथ हम और हमारी पार्टी इस बिल
का समर्थन करते हैं , धन्यवाद।

you. Now, Shri D. Raja.
SHRI D. RAJA (Tamil Nadu): Thank you, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. While
supporting this Bill, I draw the attention of the Government to one crucial issue, that
is, the identification and recognition of dalit communities in a comprehensive manner.
Earlier, my previous speakers touched upon this issue. The dalit communities in Tamil
Nadu, if they migrate to Maharashtra, are not recognised as dalit communities. The
dalit communities in Haryana, if they migrate to Delhi, the National Capital, are
not recognised as dalit communities here. This is an issue.
Now, this Bill is based on the recommendations of concerned State Governments.

At the same time, Centre should address this question because dalit communities are
dalit communities wherever they go. They must be identified in such a way and
recognised in such a way. Having said that, I urge upon the Government to follow
this with certain concrete measures on certain issues.
First one is the question of reservation. The policy of reservation is a State

policy. It has to be implemented effectively at all levels. Sir, now, there is no
adequate social representation even in the Judiciary. The Parliamentary Standing
Committee headed by you, sitting in the Chair, made the recommendation that in
Judiciary, there must be reservation or adequate social representation. Many judges
have spoken but it is not happening. Now, the Government will have to take this
into serious consideration. This is number one.
Secondly, because of the neoliberal economic policies, private sector has emerged
[Shri D. Raja]
as an important component of our economy. The job creation is also taking place in
the private sector. But the private sector is not obliged to implement the policy of
reservation. The private sector cannot be above the law. The private sector should
abide by the policy of the country. There must be reservation in the private sector.
There must be a law to extend reservation in the private sector. On the one hand, the
public sector is being privatised. On the other hand, the Government is patronising
the private sector by giving it all the concessions. The time has come when we
should ask, “What is private sector?” What is private about the private sector? They
take all financial help from the public sector banks or financial institutions. They
get all the concessions from the Government. They get everything from land to
electricity to water at concessional rate or free of cost from the Government. And
then they claim that it is the private sector. What is private about the private sector?
We have defined the public sector. If the Government has 51 per cent equity in
an institution, then it is in the public sector. We can define it. But what is private
sector? What is private about the private sector? The time has come when we should
question that and we should see to it that the private sector accepts the policy of
reservation. And in the name of affirmative action, we cannot leave it to the mercy
of the private sector. As a Government, as a state, we should see to it that the
private sector also implements the policy of reservation for the SCs, the STs and
the OBCs. This is one point.
The second serious issue is this. The Minister should take note of it. What
is happening to the Scheduled Castes Special Component Plan and the Tribal Sub
Plan? Earlier, the Planning Commission was there. The Planning Commission was
giving directives to the State Governments and the Central Ministries for earmarking
separate funds for the Scheduled Castes Special Component Plan and the Tribal Sub
Plan. Now there is no Planning Commission. Now the NITI Aayog is in vogue.
...(Interruptions)... You are adding to the list of the Scheduled Castes. But how
do you ensure that the Central Ministries and the Central Departments earmark
adequate funds for the Tribal Sub Plan? I want to know this from you. How do
you ensure that the State Governments earmark funds for the Scheduled Castes
Special Component Plan and the Tribal Sub Plan? The Ministry must take note of
this. There are certain State Governments which enacted State legislations to ensure
this. As the Central Government, are you going to bring a Central legislation to
ensure that the Scheduled Castes Special Component Plan and the Tribal Sub Plan
are there? It is a very serious issue.
The other issues are atrocities and discrimination against dalits. I am not going
into all the issues. I am raising one pointed issue. It is about discrimination in the
institutions of higher learning whether it is the IITs or the Central Universities.
What happened in the Hyderabad Central University should open our eyes to the
harsh reality that the Indian society and the nation is facing. Rohith Vemula’s death
is not a simple suicide. It is really an institutional murder. A bright scholar was
forced to take that extreme step. Why should such a thing happen in our country?
On the one hand, we claim that we are a civilised nation and we are a civilised
society. On the other hand, our children, our young boys and girls are subjected
to such extreme hardships that they take the extreme step of committing suicide.
Why should it happen? There is a demand to bring a Rohith Act to fight and end
discrimination against dalits in the institutions of higher learning. I want to know
whether the Government will apply its mind to it and whether the Government will
consider this issue.
Now I come to other important issues. We have the National Commission

for Scheduled Castes. We have the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes.
But what is the power that these National Commissions have got? These are all
statutory bodies. But they do not have statutory powers. What for do we have these
Commissions? I am putting this question to you. Even their Annual Reports are not
submitted regularly in Parliament. Why? Why should it be like that? The Human
Rights Commission has statutory powers. Why can’t the National Commission for
Scheduled Castes or the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes have statutory
powers? As Government, you will have to think on this issue. It is a serious issue.
Finally, this is a Bill which adds some more communities from different States to
the list of Scheduled Castes, but there is a demand that Dalit Christians be treated
as Dalits. ...(Interruptions)... Dalit Muslims want to be treated as Dalits. They also
want reservation. ...(Interruptions)... Listen. ...(Interruptions)... Don’t interrupt. If you
have answer, you tell me. ...(Interruptions)... If you have any answer, I will listen
to you. ...(Interruptions)... So, what I am saying is that Dalit Christians and Dalit
Muslims do want reservation, but there is a Supreme Court ceiling. The Supreme
Court has put a ceiling that reservation should not exceed 50 per cent. Now, SCs
and STs account for 22.5 per cent. OBCs account for 27 per cent. Total is 49.5
per cent. That is the reservation. In Tamil Nadu, there is reservation up to 69 per
cent. It is in the Ninth Schedule. If that can happen in Tamil Nadu, why can’t it
happen in other States and why can’t it happen at national level? If the Supreme
Court has put that ceiling, the Centre should have the political will to review that
Supreme Court order. You ask for a review and open it up. So, these are very
vital issues to address the concerns of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
in our country. Now, we are passing this Bill, but passing this Bill will not help.
It should be followed up with sincere, committed and concrete measures by the
Government. That is the big challenge, but that is the big question I raise before
the Government. Thank you.
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Hon.

Minister, I hope you can reply on the issue of Annual Report of the National
Commission for Scheduled Castes and the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes.
That is a very important thing. I hope you will get the information and inform the
House.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: जवाब के साथ बोलूं या अभी बोल दूं ?
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Just mark

it and tell.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: सर, हमने एससी कमीशन की रिपोर्ट को संसद में सब्मिट किया है ।
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Okay.

Now, Shri Jesudasu Seelam.
SHRI JESUDASU SEELAM (Andhra Pradesh): Sir, I would like to say a few
things on the Bill. This basically deals with inclusion of certain communities in the
States of Chhattisgarh, Haryana, West Bengal and modification in some respects and
removal of area restrictions in Kerala and exclusion of certain communities from
the list of Scheduled Castes in Odisha. All the four aspects have been brought in
this small amendment which is under Article 341. We have been coming up with
inclusions, exclusions, modifications and area restrictions. But, while the area restriction
in Kerala is corrected, I agree with a lot of my colleagues that the area restrictions
throughout the country also need to be taken note of. Since it is in the State, the
State Government has taken interest saying that in northern part of Kerala, this
community is in Scheduled Tribes and in southern part, it is in Scheduled Castes;
so, uniformity should be maintained. That is the recommendation of the Kerala
Government. But, if X community, which is Scheduled Caste in a State, goes to
another State and it is not listed in the list of Scheduled Castes in that State, then
the problem comes up. That State Government is not taking it up. The original
State to which that person belongs should take it up. But, these are not being taken
up, creating a lot of hardship. That is why I urge the hon. Minister to take it up.
They have the statistics. There are communities which are listed as Scheduled Castes
and Scheduled Tribes, which are really facing social backwardness. That is why I
request that this anomaly should immediately be corrected. For instance, recently
some Scheduled Caste people residing in Madhya Pradesh came to us, the Forum
of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes MPs and made a representation. They
also appeared before the Parliamentary Committee on Welfare of the Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes of which I am privileged to be a Member. So, we
have recommended to the Government this case.
The hon. Minister has already said that he has laid the Reports of the Commission
on the Table of the House. But what we want is, not merely by laying, we need to
discuss and act upon the Reports of the National Commissions for Scheduled Castes
and Scheduled Tribes; and also the National Commission for Backward Classes. What
they do is, they do a lot of work. They submit the reports to the Ministry; and
the Ministry lays the reports on the Table of the House. But it is never discussed
and never acted upon. I am specifically drawing the attention of the hon. Minister
that these reports should be discussed in the House. The Chair should protect our
interests and the Chair should convey to the Business Advisory Committee about it.
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. S. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): Normally

the procedure is only Members can raise that issue.
SHRI JESUDASU SEELAM: The Action Taken Report also should be laid on
the Table of the House. ...(Interruptions)... That is why they are delaying.
I urge upon the Government to take necessary action on each of those

recommendations and come back to the House. It is not merely laying the reports
on the Table of the House. The report itself doesn't mean anything unless it is acted
upon. So, the reports of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes and the National Commission for Backward Classes have been periodically
submitted; and they have done a lot of good work.
So, I request the hon. Minister, through you, that necessary action on those
reports should be taken. Also the recommendations of the Parliamentary Committee
on the Welfare of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes need to be discussed.
I am a Member of this Committee. We have gone to many places. We have called
the CMDs of 14 nationalised banks; and reviewed the percentage of lending to the
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. I am really very, very sad to say that .01
per cent is the percentage of lending. If you are not spending equivalent percentage
of funds in proportion to the population, at least, there should be some substantial
money lending. Otherwise, if there is no money, it is only talkism and tokenism.
Gone are the days when the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and the OBCs took
interest in typewriting, shorthand, knitting and sewing. All those things have become
things of the past. Now there are sufficient number of educated among the SC/ST
and OBCs, and they should be given sufficient financial aid o start the business on
their own, and tie up with industrial houses to start earning something. I am happy
that some of the banks have come forward. The Secretary, Financial Services is
working out a scheme. I hope the Minister would take cognizance of it. This is a
step initiated by the UPA Government. I congratulate the hon. Minster for Social
Justice that he has taken it forward and started a Venture Capital Fund. But there
[Shri Jesudasu Seelam]

are certain problems and we have discussed it with the Minister. I hope he will be
able to address those issues.
Also, Sir, there is a Credit Guarantee Scheme initiated by the UPA Government,
and it has been taken up by the present Government. There are certain difficulties.
The Minister is aware of those difficulties. I hope he will address them. Sir, why
there is a demand for inclusion, we must try to find the root-cause for this. The
demand for inclusion is two-fold. Now, this is the reality. There are more number of
regional parties. There are more number of political reasons. At the time of elections,
they promised to garner the votes. But more and more members of Scheduled Castes
included hitherto in OBCs are competing to be included in the Scheduled Castes
and Scheduled Tribes.
Sir, I would like to know as to what is the criteria. Under Article 341, the
Presidential orders were proclaimed. Six times they were done because in each
State certain communities were identified; they are scheduled. There is a list. They
are listed State-wise. They are subjected to the social backwardness because of the
heinous practice of untouchability. Earlier, it was physical untouchability. Now, it is a
practice in different forms of untouchability. So, those communities are listed saying
that these are socially backward for centuries. So, that is the criteria for listing under
the List of Scheduled Castes. So, they have to be really gone through. In recent
times, at least for the last 30-40 years what happened is, certain communities, which
are not hitherto subjected to that heinous practice of the untouchability, are included
for sought to be included for various reasons. I am not finding faults. Somehow,
it has happened. Even now, I think we need to correct those imbalances. I request
that there is a conference and a relook at the criteria needs to be evolved by the
Registrar General. There should not be this sort of tendency on the part of the
communities listed in OBCs to be included in Scheduled Castes because it is unfair.
There are certain cases. I know for sure as to what happened in some Southern
States. Prejudice still continues with the result that in one State, MLA tickets are
given to the untouchable Scheduled Castes which are included later. So, this is not
fair. This is not in the spirit of which should reflect it in the Constitution.
Secondly, Sir, the religion is a basis of reservation. In this country, we have

seen that Dalits, to whichever religion they belonged, were subjected to the social
disability. For instance, those Scheduled Castes who embraced Sikhism, casteism still
followed. That is why the reservation facility was extended to Dalits who have gone
to Sikhism. And, similarly, those Dalit communities who have gone to Bhuddhism,
were experiencing this caste discrimination. So, they are included in the List of
Scheduled Castes. Similarly, Sir, if the religious communities like Christians, Muslims
or those Dalits who even after the conversion are subjected to social discrimination,
definitely have a Fundamental Right to be included in the Scheduled Castes. So, a
Commission was asked to look into these issues. Justice Ranganath Misra Commission
has gone into these details, travelled widely, and recommended that the reservation
for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes should be religiously neutral. It should
not be based on religion. That is why I urge the Government to take up that
recommendation. If you feel that even after conversion to a particular religion, if a
person subjected to social discrimination based on caste, you need to put him back
in the List of Scheduled Castes. So, I think that is the point Mr. Raja has made.
Then coming to the urge for the people to get into the Scheduled Castes List,
the State is offering certain positive discrimination. On that aspect also, we need to
draw the attention of the Government to the Reservation Act because, so far, the
reservations are based on the Government orders. There is no codified Act. So, the
UPA Government has brought an Act and got that passed in Rajya Sabha. But since
there were certain anomalies, it was referred back. We need to take care of that.
THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. E. M. SUDARSANA NATCHIAPPAN): There are

two other Members to speak from your side. Please conclude.
SHRI JESUDASU SEELAM: Another two minutes, Sir. Reservation in promotions

has been in vogue in this country since 1955. Now this House passed the Reservation
in Promotions for S.Cs and S.T.s Bill, but because of certain observations of the
Supreme Court in M. Nagraj case, we tried to remove those hurdles. But that could
not be taken up again because the Lok Sabha got dissolved and the Bill elapsed.
The third thing is that the three Congress-I ruled States of Andhra Pradesh,
Karnataka and Telangana implemented the Sub Plan for the Scheduled Castes and
the Scheduled Tribes which was proposed by the UPA Government. I urge that the
remaining States also should do that and population equivalent percentage of Plan
funds should be spent on the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes so as to
remove the gaps in Developmental Indices between these members and the rest of
the members of the society.

you. Your time is over.
SHRI JESUDASU SEELAM: Sir, this is very important. The Central Government
itself should bring the legislation. The UPA had prepared it. Sir, some hon. Members
have raised the backlog issue. It is Rajiv Gandhiji who insisted that untill 50 per
cent of the vacancies was filled, no further recruitments should be done. I think we
[Shri Jesudasu Seelam]

need to take up those measures which have already been initiated. Even at the time
of the UPA, we had initiated the 93rd Amendment for reservation in educational
institutions belonging to the private sector. That is still pending. So, we request
the Government to bring in all those legislative measures so that there can be real
empowerment of this section of the society. The Government is celebrating the 125th
Birth Anniversary of Dr. Ambedkar, and it has committed several things. We urge
upon them to take some action and prove their credibility to people. Otherwise, simply
by just tokenism and mere talks, the S.C. and S.T. members of the community are
not going to be taken away. I request them to sincerely implement it. The necessary
background work had been done by the UPA Government. Whatever you have to
do is, take it forward and see to it that those Bills are passed. This is all I wanted
to say. Thank you very much.
महंत शम्भु�सादजी तुंदिया (गुजरात): वाइस चेयरमैन सर, मैं संविधान (अनुसूचित जातियां)
आदे श (संशोधन) िवधेयक, 2016 पर अपना समर्थन दे ने के लिए खड़ा हु आ हूं । सर, भारत की
जातीय व्यवस्था के आधार पर दलितों के उत्थान के लिए सूचियां दी गई हैं । पिछले 60 सालों से
इस व्यवस्था के आधार पर समाज को इसका लाभ मिल रहा है । अब लाभ कम मिला है या ज्यादा
मिला है , अगर हम इस बात पर चिन्ता जताएंगे, तो वह अलग-अलग पार्टी का िवषय बन जाएगा।
हमारे आदरणीय मं �ी जी आज जो संविधान संशोधन विधेयक लेकर आए हैं , मैं उसके समर्थन
में खड़ा हु आ हूं । इस सदन में मुझसे बहु त ही वरिष्ठ और अनु भवी सदस्यों ने अपना मत रखा है ।
(उपसभापति महोदय पीठासीन हु ए)
सर, मैं जिस पार्टी से आता हूं , उस पार्टी की एक पंचनिष्ठा है । उस पंचनिष्ठा में पांचवीं
निष्ठा, सामाजिक समरसता है ।
''पथ का अंतिम लक्ष्य नहीं है सिंहासन चढ़ते जाना

सब समाज को लिए साथ में आगे है बढ़ते जाना।''
हम सब इस सू� को लेकर चलें। आज लोकतं� के आधार पर हमारे �धान मं �ी, आदरणीय

नरे ं� भाई मोदी जी के नेतृत्व में सरकार चल रही है और पूरे दे श और पूरे िवश्व में डा. बाबा
साहे ब अम्बेडकर जी की 125वीं जन्म जयन्ती मनाई जा रही है । उनको शतकोटि नमन करते हु ए
और उनके सम्मुख �द्धा सुमन अर्पित करते हु ए, हमने पंचतीर्थ का बहु त अच्छा विकास करने का
संकल्प लिया है । चाहे उनकी जन्मभूमि महू हो, 26 अलीपुर रोड हो, नागपुर की दीक्षाभूमि हो,
इंदू मिल की चैत्य भूमि हो, डा. बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर का मूल गांव अम्बावाडे गांव हो, वहां पर
भी राष्ट्रीय स्मारक बनाने की बहु त ही बड़ी योजनाएं बनाई गई हैं ।
सर, यहां जो बातें मुझसे पहले मे रे िम� रख रहे थे, मैं सुन रहा था। मैं भी दलित समाज से
आता हूं , मैं एक हिन्दू भी हूं और मे रा एक बहु त ही बड़ा धार्मिक स्थान भी है । यहां मे रे से पहले
बोलने वाले �द्धेय सम्माननीय सदस्यगण, डी. राजा जी और सीलम साहब ने कहा कि रं गनाथ
मि�ा आयोग की रिपोर्ट है , सच्चर कमे टी की रिपोर्ट है । मगर दलित समाज में यह छु आछू त
का जो मानदं ड है , जो हमारे ऊपर कलंक है , तो बंधारण में आरक्षण के लिए एक ही मापदं ड

रखा गया है — अस्पृश्यता, untouchability. सर, जो दलित धर्मान्तरित होता है , वह क्यों होता
है और कैसे होता है ? वह untouchability के कलंक से मुक्त होने के लिए धर्मान्तरित होता है
और वह दू सरे धर्मों में जाता है । डा. बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर ने बंधारण में स्पष्ट रूप से कहा
है कि जहां पर अस्पृश्यता का कलंक है , उस कलंक के लिए आरक्षण की व्यवस्था दी गई है ।
महोदय, मैं इस सदन के माध्यम से यह कहना चाहूं गा कि यह अस्पृश्यता का कलंक सिर्फ हिन्दू
समाज में ही है । यह बौद्ध समाज में कहीं पर दिखाई दे ता है , सिख समाज में कहीं पर दिखाई
दे ता है , लेकिन मुस्लिम समुदाय और ईसाई समुदाय में यह अस्पृश्यता का कलंक हमें दिखाई
नहीं दे रहा है । आरक्षण का मापदं ड सिर्फ एक ही है — अस्पृश्यता। तो जैसा मे रे मि�ों ने कहा,
वैसे मैं भी अपनी बात रखना चाहूं गा कि जो आरक्षण आज चला आ रहा है , उसमें किसी और
को हिस्सेदार न बनाया जाए।
सर, आदरणीय मं �ी जी आज जो विधेयक लेकर आए हैं , उनके इस िवधेयक को मैं समर्थित

करता हूं । जितनी भी जातियां हैं , यहां मे रे मि� कह रहे थे कि दलित समाज में माइ�ेशन हो रहा
है । माइ�ेशन जहां भी होता है , जिस भी राज्य से दू सरे राज्य में जाते हैं , तो उनको सर्टिफिकेट
मिलने में बहु त सी दिक्कतें आती हैं , तो उसमें सुधार लाना चाहिए। हमारी सरकार में दलितों के
लिए यहां जितनी भी योजनाएं लाकर आदरणीय नरे ं� भाई ने जो पहल रखी है , तो ये दे श के
पहले ऐसे �धान मं �ी हैं , जिन्होंने यह कहा है कि मैं डा. बाबा साहे ब अम्बेडकर जी का भक्त
हूं और उनके दिए गए अधिकार के आधार पर एक छोटे घर से आया हूं और यहां �धान मं �ी
बना हूं । आज तक किसी ने भी विगत 60 सालों से ऐसा नहीं कहा है । पहली बार इस दे श को
एक ऐसा �धान मं �ी मिला है , जिसने दिल खोल कर मन की बात कही है और दलितों के �ति
अपने �द्धा-सुमन अर्पित िकए हैं ।
सर, हमारा तो ध्येय है — सभी समाजों को साथ में लेकर समरस समाज का निर्माण करना।
सर, मे रा समय कम है , मगर मैं एक बात कहना चाहता हूं । मैं गुजरात से आता हूं । गुजरात
में जूनागढ़, गिरनार नाम से एक गांव है । वहां पर आज से सदियों पहले वैष्णव समाज में एक
परमनिष्ठ भक्त हु ए, जिनका नाम नरसिंह मे हता था। उनका एक गान था, जोकि हमारे राष्ट्रपिता
महात्मा गांधी जी का भी बहु त ही ि‍�य गान था-
'वैष्णवजन तो तेने कहिए जे पीड़ पराई जाने रे '।
यह जो भजन है , उसे गाने वाले महात्मा नरसिंह दास जी दलित समाज के बीच में जाकर
बैठते थे। जब वे दलित समाज के बीच में जाकर बैठते थे, तो उस समय के उस समाज ने
उनका तिरस्कार किया था। उस तिरस्कार के बावजूद भी वे वहां भजन-कीर्तन करने के लिए,
सत्संग के लिए, समाज के सुधार के लिए जाते रहे , बार-बार जाते रहे । तब जाकर, ये जो हमारे
समाज के निर्माण की बातें हैं , वहां से शुरू हु ईं। हमारी पार्टी के आद्यस्थापक पंडित दीनदयाल
जी और आदरणीय श्यामा �साद मुखर्जी जी, जो कि वंदनीय हैं , उनके सू� दिए गए हैं - एकात्म
मानववाद और समरस समाज का निर्माण। सर, हम यह करने जा रहे हैं । तो मैं अपने सभी मि�ों
से यह आ�ह करूं गा, विनती करूं गा कि हमारी जो समरसता की कल्पना है , उसको साकार
होने में आप सब सहयोग दें । आदरणीय मं �ी जी जिस बिल में संशोधन लेकर आए हैं , उसका
पूरे दिल से सम्मान के साथ, आदर के साथ, समर्थन करते हु ए मैं अपनी बात को पूर्ण करता हूं ।
5.00 p.m.
SHRI RIPUN BORA (Assam): Respected Deputy Chairman, Sir, first of all, I
thank you for giving me this opportunity to take part in a discussion on such a
very important and sensitive issue and that too at a very historic moment when our
country is going to celebrate the 125th Birth Anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar.
Sir, there is no question of opposing this Bill. I only want to put forward some
suggestions to the hon. Minister. First of all, simply, inclusion of some castes or
tribes in the list of Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes List will not solve the
problem. Our main problem is to give priority to them and implement it completely
in letter and spirit. Sir, here, I want to draw the attention of the hon. Minister that
on the one hand, we are including some castes in the list of Scheduled Castes,
but, on the other hand, we are taking quite opposite stand in the Budget. So far
as the Budget of 2016-17 is concerned, we have seen that the fund for the welfare
of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has been tremendously curtailed in
comparison to the Budget of the UPA Government. So, Sir, now, my suggestion and
submission is that since we are going to give the status of Scheduled Castes to some
more castes, it should give equal opportunity to other Scheduled Castes and for that,
sufficient provision be made in the Budget. Here, Sir, I want to quote from point
no.2 of the Financial Memorandum, “It is not possible to estimate with any degree
of precision, the likely expenditure which would have to be incurred on this account
due to non-availability of the caste-wise data.” It is very surprising. Sir, this Bill
has come under a series of scrutiny. Normally, when the State Government submits
the proposal, they must have given the detailed data and the Registrar General of
India never approaches this without the detailed data. So, it is very unfortunate that
the caste-wise data is not yet available because of which the adequate fund or a
financial provision could not be made. I would request the hon. Minister to clarify
this matter in his reply.
Sir, my third point is that so far the backlog is concerned, we have seen that
in the Central Government as well as in the State Government also, thousands and
thousands of posts are lying vacant. So, there should be some mandatory provision.
There should be strict accountability in respect of Central Government as well as
in the State Government. There should be some regulatory provisions, regulatory
measures; some accountability provisions and time-bound targets to fulfill the backlog.
I hope the hon. Minister will consider this also.
Last one is that since I am coming from Assam, I must mention about a very,
very long-standing issue of Assam, though it is not related to Scheduled Caste, it
is related to Scheduled Tribes, Sir, that is inclusion of six tribes of Assam, namely,
Koch-Rajbongshis, Tia Ahoms, tea tribes, Morans, Motoks and Chutiyas. For the last
two decades, this matter is lying pending here on one pretext or the other. Sir, you
will be surprised to know that during the time of our former President, Dr. Shankar
Dayal Sharma, the Koch-Rajbongshis was given the Scheduled Tribes status by a
Presidential Ordinance. But, unfortunately, thereafter, no Bill was passed and it was
not made an Act. So far the tea tribes community of Assam is concerned, all these
tea tribes community people have migrated from Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and
undivided Bihar. When the British came to Assam and established the tea gardens,
they took these labourers to Assam as tea garden workers. What happened is, these
communities are getting Scheduled Tribe status in Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and
Bihar, but only in Assam have they been deprived of getting the Scheduled Tribe’s
status. In this regard, I would like to draw the attention of the Government to the
fact that during the last Lok Sabha elections, in 2014, the present Prime Minister,
Shri Narendra Modi, made a commitment that if the NDA Government came to
power, within six months, these six communities would be enlisted in the Scheduled
Tribes List. But those six months are not yet over. Now, the Assembly Elections
are concluded in Assam. Three months before the Assembly Elections, the BJP,
the Government and the Tribal Affairs Minister also went to Assam and made the
commitment again that within six months, these communities would be brought under
the Scheduled Tribes List.
Now, I would like to know from the hon. Minister that whether in his reply
he would kindly assure that during the coming Monsoon Session of Parliament the
Bill would be brought, including these six communities of Assam in the List, for
giving them the 'Scheduled Tribe' status. Thank you, Sir.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Ripun Bora. I can’t but congratulate
you. In spite of being the Maiden Speech, you were very precise, concise and to
the point. He did not resort to verbosity or any flippancy. He made his points very
clearly. I congratulate you. I think, others too should emulate him.
Hon. Minister, as a last point, he mentioned a very relevant point that in other
States, like Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, certain communities are already Scheduled
Tribes but not in Assam. He has requested you to reply on that. You have to reply
to that. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI PRAVEEN RASHTRAPAL (Gujarat): Sir, what about my name?
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: No; your name is not there in the list. From the
Congress Party, there were only three names and they have spoken. (Interruptions)
I was repeatedly saying about Mr. Chairman’s direction that once discussion started
... (Interruptions)... What can I do? I am guided by the direction of Mr. Chairman.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: उपसभापति महोदय, माननयी 11 सदस्यों ने इस संशोधन विधेयक

पर अपने विचार व्यक्त किए हैं और जो विचार व्यक्त किए गए हैं , उनसे ऐसा लगता है कि
सामाजिक न्याय और अधिकारिता मं �ालय पर पूर्णरूपेण चर्चा हु ई है । अब आप मुझे कितना समय
दें गे, यह तो आप ही तय करें गे।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: As much as you want.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: ठीक है ।
�ी मुख्तार अब्बास नक़वी: नहीं सर, 15 मिनट। ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Your Minister is controlling you! I am not controlling

you. (Interruptions)
�ी के. सी. त्यागी: सर, ये मं �ी को निर्देश दें तो मुझे बुरा नहीं लगता, लेकिन जब सुबह
ये आपको निर्देश दे रहे थे, उस समय मुझे बुरा लग रहा था। ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी मुख्तार अब्बास नक़वी: और आप रोज़ दे ते हैं । ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: I will not go by any direction other than that of
Mr. Chairman. No other direction.
SHRI BHUPINDER SINGH: And the rules and procedures.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Constitution and the rules and procedures.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: माननीय उपसभापति महोदय, सबसे पहले माननीय शमशेर सिंह
डु लो साहब ने अपने विचार व्यक्त किए। उन्होंने सामान्यत: नरें � मोदी साहब की नीति और नीयत
पर �श्न खड़े किए और यह कहा कि उनके समय में उनकी सरकार ने बहु त से काम किए थे।
उन्होंने कुछ लम्बे उदाहरण भी ि‍दए। अगर मैं यह कहूं कि अनु सूचित जाति के वर्ग के समक्ष जो
समस्याएं आज िवद्यमान हैं , उनके लिए कौन दोषी है तो सीधा-सीधा उत्तर सामने आता है कि
दे श की आज़ादी के बाद किस राजनैतिक दल का 60 साल से अधिक समय पंचायत से लेकर
कें� सरकार तक राज रहा, तो वहीं जाकर निगाहें टिकती हैं । मैं आलोचनात्मक तरीके से बहु त
सारे उदाहरण दे सकता हूं , लेकिन दे ना नहीं चाहूं गा। मैं यह जरूर कहना चाहूं गा कि नरे ं� मोदी
साहब की सरकार अर्थात वर्तमान सरकार अनु सूचित जाति वर्ग के हित संरक्षण के �ति �तिबद्ध
है - आज से नहीं है , जब से हमारा जनसंघ बना था, तब से है । मैं आपको एक उदाहरण दे ना
चाहूं गा। सन् 1954 में जनसंघ की राष्ट्रीय �तिनिधि सभा का एक सम्मेलन इंदौर में हु आ था।
उसमें हमने यह �स्ताव किया था, आप उसे पढ़ लें वह तो लिखा हु आ है - मैं कोई आज उसे
बोल रहा हूं , ऐसा नहीं है । उसमें यह लिखा था कि हम भारत के संविधान का सम्मान करते हैं ,
अम्बेडकर जी का सम्मान करते हैं और छु आछू त को अभिशाप मानते हैं , संवध
ै ानिक �ावधानों को
लागू कराने के लिए हम गांव-गांव, गली-गली में जाएंगे और उन �ावधानों को लागू करने का
�यास करें गे। जहां-जहां, जब-जब हमें अवसर मिला, चाहे राज्य सरकार के रूप में या भारत
सरकार के रूप में , हमने वह करके दिखाया है । अम्बेडकर जी से संबंधित जो मानबिन्दु हैं , उन
पांच �मुख स्थानों को पंचतीर्थ का दर्जा भी मोदी साहब की सरकार ने दिया। 1991 में पटवा जी
मध्य �दे श सरकार में मुख्य मं �ी थे और मैं राज्य मं �ी था। अम्बेडकर जी की जन्मस्थली पर भव्य
स्मारक बनाने का निर्णय उन्होंने लिया और मुझे कहा कि वहां दो समितियां हैं , उन्हें राज़ी करो।
वे दोनों समितियां राज़ी नहीं हुईं। वहां कलेक्टर की अध्यक्षता में एक कमेटी बनायी गयी और वहां
स्मारक बनाने का निर्णय लिया। उसके बाद 14 अ�ैल, 1991 को अम्बेडकर साहब की जयंती के
दिन अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी जी के हाथों उसका भूमि पूजन करवाया। मैं �त्यक्ष में वहां उपस्थि‍त
था, पटवा जी उसकी अध्यक्षता कर रहे थे। वहां पर वातावरण खराब करने की बहु त अिधक
कोशिश की गयी थी और जो वातावरण खराब करने की कोशिश की गयी थी, उसमें उधर और
इधर बैठे हु ए कुछ लोगों की पार्टी के लोग थे। वे यह कह रहे थे कि ऐसा क्यों कर रहे हैं ? वह
मध्य �दे श का मामला था, उनकी जन्मभूमि मे रे जन्म स्थान से सवा सौ किलोमीटर दू र थी, हमने
अपना कर्तव्य समझा और वह काम किया। फिर शिक्षा भूमि, दीक्षा भूमि, परिनिर्वाण भूमि, अंतिम
संस्कार भूमि-इन सब पर भव्य स्मारक बनाने का काम हमने किया। अधोसंरचना के साथ-साथ
जो भावनात्मक सम्मान दे ना चाहिए, उस दृष्टिकोण से भी सामाजिक जागरूकता लाने के लिए
यह सब काम हमने किया है । महोदय, अमरा साबले साहब ने बहु त सारी बातें यहां बतायीं। बहु त
सारे माननीय सदस्यों ने यह कहा कि कुछ जातियों को अनु सूचित जाति की लिस्ट में शामिल
कर लीजिए। उससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता है , यह बात अभी तक के अनु भव से दिखायी दे ती है ।
�ी शमशे र सिंह डु लो: सर, मे रा एक प्वाइंट ऑफ ऑर्डर है ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: I will allow you after he speaks.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: हमने यह अनु भव किया कि वास्तव में आज जो लोग अुनसूचित
जाति में सम्मिलित हैं , उनके साथ अन्याय हो रहा है , अत्याचार हो रहा है , उनका शोषण हो
रहा है , उनका शोषण हो रहा है , उत्पीड़न हो रहा है । आर्थिक दृष्टि से, सामाजिक दृष्टि से,
शैक्षणिक दृष्टि से, राजनैतिक दृष्टि से और धार्मिक दृष्टि से उन्हें जो सम्मान मिलना चाहिए, वह
नहीं मिल रहा है । वह सम्मान दिलाने की दृष्टि से हमने ये सब कार्य�म किए हैं । इसके साथ-साथ
अभी-अभी The Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities)
Amendment Act संसद ने पास किया है , इस सदन ने भी किया है और लोक सभा ने भी किया
है । 26 जनवरी, 2016 से वह कानू न लागू हो गया और 14 अ�ैल, 2016 से, माननीय अम्बेडकर
जी की जयंती से उसके नियम भी लागू हो गए हैं । हमने यह �ावधान किया है कि अब इन वर्गों
के लोगों को जो �ताड़ित करे गा, उसको कठोर दं ड तो मिलेगा ही, इसके साथ ही साथ पीडि़त
परिवार को राहत भी मिलेगी और संरक्षण भी मिलेगा। हमने �ावधान किया है कि अगर किसी
अनु सूचित जाति, अनु सूचित जनजाति वर्ग के व्यक्ति के बारे में सामने वाले को मालूम है और
वह जाति सूचक शब्द का उपयोग करके गाली-गलौज करता है , उसका मुंह काला कर दे ता है ,
मूंछ काट दे ता है , सिर मंुडन कर दे ता है , जूतों की माला पहना कर घुमाता है , दू ल्हे को घोड़ी
पर बैठकर बारात नहीं निकालने दे ता है , वोट डालने से रोकता है , चुनाव लड़ने से रोकता है ,
िनर्वस्त्र करके ज़लील करने का �यास करता है , इन सब अपराधों के लिए पहले करने का �यास
करता है , इन सब अपराधों के लिए पहले जो नियम, कानू न, कायदे थे, वे इसमें समाहित नहीं
थे। हमने इस �कार के अपराधों को भी इसमें समाहित किया है और कठोर दं ड की व्यवस्था
की है । ...(व्यवधान)... पहले नियम था कि 10 वर्ष से से अिधक की सजा जिस धारा के अंतर्गत
होने का �ावधान है , उस में ही Atrocity Act लागू होता था, परन्तु अब सभी धाराओं में — चाहे

वह छह महीने की सजा वाला �ावधान हो या 20 साल वाली सजा का �ावधान हो, उन सभी
धाराओं में -चाहे वह छह महीने की सजा वाला �ावधान हो या 20 साल वाली सजा का �ावधान
हो, उन सभी धाराओं में Atrocity Act भी लागू होगा। हमने यह �ांतिकारी कदम भी उठाया है ।
इसकी लम्बे समय से मांग की जा रही थी। जब 1989 में यह कानून बना था और इसमें खामियां
दिखीं थीं, उसी समय से लगातार इसके बारे में सुझाव आ रहे थे। हमने इसकी खामियों को
खत्म करने की कोशिश की है , अच्छा होता कि आप हमारे इस काम की सराहना करते। अभी
भी, मैं अापसे िनवेदन करूं गा कि आप जहां भी जाएं, इस कानू न की सरहना करें और लोगों में
जागृति लाने का काम करें या अपराध करने वाले अपराध नहीं करें और अगर किसी के साथ
अपराध हो, तो वह उन �ावधानों का लाभ लेने की भी कोशिश करे ।
�ी िवशम्भर �साद िनषाद जी ने इस बिल का समर्थन किया है , परन्तु उनका वही पुराना
संशोधन है , जो उन्होंने �ाइवेट बिल के रुप में �स्तुत किया था और इसी सदन ने उसको
अस्वीकृत कर दिया था। ...(व्यवधान)... उन्होंने उन्हीं बातों का उल्लेख किया है , परन्तु आज वे
थोड़े से उस बिल से अलग हटकर भी बोल रहे थे। वे मुझे यह कह रहे थे कि हमें तो केवल
grammatical सुधार करना है , कौमा, मा�ा का सुधार करना है , इतना ही कहा है । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ीमान् जी, आप अपना बिल पढिए। आपने कहा कि इन 17 जातियों को ...(व्यवधान)... आज
अमें डमें ट है और वह बिल था, अापने यह कहा है कि आज वे जातियां ओबीसी की �ेणी में हैं ,
इनको ओबीसी की �ेणी से अनु सूचित जाित की �ेणी में कर दो। अगर स्पेलिंग की mistake
सुधारनी हो या कोई पर्यायवाची शब्द लिखना हो या कोई grammatical mistake हो, अगर
इस �कार का कोई �स्ताव राज्य सरकार के माध्यम से आएगा, तो हम उस पर विचार करें गे।
आपने जो अमें डमें ट दिया है , वह ओबीसी वर्ग की �ेणी में आने वाली जातियों को एस.सी. में
मिलाने का है । इस बात के लिए आर.जी.आई. ने दो बार इन्कार कर िदया है । जब एक बार
आर.जी.आई. इन्कार करता है , तो हम उसको राज्य सरकार के पास टिप्पणी के लिए वापस
भेजते हैं । एक बार एक राज्य सरकार ने इसको िवद्ड्रॉ ही कर लिया था और दू सरी सरकार ने
इसे फिर से भेजा। ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी नीरज शे खर (उत्तर �दे श): बीएसपी की सरकार थी। ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: मैं किसी सरकार का नाम नहीं ले रहा हूं , वैसे सरकार तो सरकार
ही होती है । ...(व्यवधान)... एक सरकार ने विद्ड्रॉ किया और दू सरी सरकार ने फिर से �स्ताव
भेजा। अब इसी पर मत भिन्नता दिख रही है । इसी मत भिन्नता के कारण आर.जी.अाई. को बल
मिला। जो बैग �ाउं ड अनु सूचित जातियां आदे श 1950 का था, उसके आधार पर उसने निरस्त
किया था, परन्तु इसके कारण और बल मिला, तो उन्होंने दू सरी बार भी इन्कार कर दिया।
दू सरी बार इन्कार करने के बाद हम इस �कार को कोई संशोधन स्वीकार नहीं कर पाते हैं ।
यह केवल इस सरकार ने नियम बनाया है , ऐसा नहीं है । यह नियम तो 1950 से और 1955 से
लागू है । इस बीच में सभी पार्टीज की, सभी विचारधाराओं की सरकार रही है । किसी के समर्थन
से सरकार चल रही थी या किसी की खुद की पार्टी की सरकार थी। यहां जो बैठे हैं , मे रे ख्याल
से सभी राजनीतिक दलों के विचारों के समर्थन से दे श में सरकार चल चुकी है । उन सरकारों
के समय भी इसी नियम के अनु सार इसका ही अनु पालन होता रहा है । अगर हम भी अनु पालन
कर रहे हैं , तो कोई गलती नहीं कर रहे हैं । इसलिए RGI के निर्णय के खिलाफ हम निर्णय लेने
की स्थिति में नहीं हैं । इसलिए मैं आपसे भी यह निवेदन करना चाहूं गा कि आप अपने अमें डमें ट
को वापस ले लें, तो ज्यादा अच्छा होगा। यहां पर के. सी. त्यागी जी ने बहु त सारी बातें कही
हैं , 18 लोगों की आत्महत्या की बात कही है । मुझे भी मालूम है , है दराबाद की उस यूनिवर्सिटी
की मे रे पास नामज़द जानकारी है । वहां पर रोहित से पहले 11 लोगों ने आत्महत्या की है । 2006
से लेकर अब तक वहां 11 अात्महत्याएं हु ई हैं । इनमें 3 छा� SC के थे, दो छा� ST के थे,
3 OBC के थे, 3 जनरल थे। अगर आप लोग अन्यथा न लें, तो मैं पूछना चाहूं गा कि जिस समय
वहां आत्महत्याएं हु ई थीं, उस समय कितने राजनीतिक दलों के नेता वहां दे खने गए थे या उस
पीडि़त परिवार के लिए राहत दिलाने की कोशिश की थी? ...(व्यवधान)... वहां कोई नहीं गया,
तो क्यों नहीं गया? ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी के. सी. त्यागी: अगर आप यह सवाल उठाना चाहते हैं , तो मैं पूछता हूं कि SC, ST के
लिए इतना दर्द होता, तो ...(व्यवधान)... आप क्यों नहीं जाते? ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी उपसभापति: त्यागी जी।
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: सर, मैं तो कहना ही नहीं चाहता था, मुझे इसलिए यह कहना
पड़ा... आपने पहले भी दे खा कि मैं रे लेवट
ें मै टर से भिन्न कहीं जाता ही नहीं हूं । त्यागी साहब ने
नाम लेकर कहा है । मैं उनका आदर-सम्मान करता हूं । उन्होंने कहा कि मुझे पीड़ा हो रही है कि
आप मान नहीं रहे हैं । मैं ने इस कारण से स्पष्टीकरण दिया है , नहीं तो मैं नहीं दे ता। मैं ने पहले
भी कोई स्पष्टीकरण नहीं दिया है । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी नीरज शे खर: कहीं कुछ हो जाए, ये कभी नहीं जाते। ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Mr. Rapolu, please sit down. ...(Interruptions)...

Listen to the Minister.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: वीर सिंह जी ने अपने विचार व्यक्त किए और बहु त अच्छी जानकारी
व बहु त अच्छे सुझाव भी िदए। उन्होंने मागं भी की कि आबादी बढ़ रही है और आबादी के
मान से आरक्षण का �ावधान होना चाहिए। इस दृिष्टकोण को ध्यान में रखकर �यास करने की
आवश्यकता है । हम भी विचार-विमर्श करते हैं । यदि आप लोग भी इस �कार का वातावरण बनाने
का �यास करें गे, तो जो आबादी बढ़ी है , SC की 16.8 के आसपास पहुं ची है । हम उस पर कुछ
करने की कोशिश कर पाएंगे। इसके साथ-साथ दू सरे राज्यों में भी एक राज्य की जाति को वही
लाभ मिलना चाहिए। मैं इस आवश्यकता पर यह निवेदन करना चाहता हूं कि सभी राज्य ऐसे
हैं , जहां एक जाति सारे �दे शों में अनु सूचित जाति की �ेणी में नहीं आती है । किसी �दे श के
दो जिलों में SC की �ेणी में आती है , कहीं दो जिलों में ST में है , कहीं दो जिलों मे OBC में
है और वे की वे जातियां किसी जिले में कुछ भी नहीं हैं । इस कारण से अगर राज्य करना चाहे
और ऐसा वातावरण बने और राज्यों की तरफ से कोई �स्ताव आए, तो िनश्चित रूप से उस पर
विचार करने की दृष्टि से हमें बल मिलेगा। मैं यह बताना चाहूं गा कि हर राज्य में 3, 4 जिलों
में कोई SC में है , 3, 4 जिलों में OBC में है , 3, 4 जिलों में दे श में तो है ही और within the
state अगर यह सब हो जाए, तो वातावरण आगे बढ़ेगा, हमको भी कुछ रास्ता मिलेगा। फिर यह
जाति के सर्टिफिकेट की बात है , तो सर्टिफिकेट बनाने के लिए राज्यों ने अलग-अलग �ि‍�या तय

कर रखी है । वैसे तरीका तो एक ही है , परं तु अलग-अलग �ि‍�या तय की है और दिक्कत यह
आ गई है कि सु�ीम कोर्ट में फर्जी जातियों को लेकर रिट दायर हु ई थी, तो माननीय उच्चतम
न्यायालय ने एक बार फैसला दे दिया और यह कह िदया कि 1950 की जो अनु सूचित जातियों
की लिस्ट है और जो उनका बैक�ाउं ड है , उसके आधार पर ही वह बनाई जाएगी। फिर भी
अलग-अलग राज्यों में अलग-अलग �ावधान किए गए हैं , जैसे मध्य �दे श, छत्तीसगढ़ और कुछ
अन्य राज्यों ने अपने यहां अलग-अलग �ावधान किए हैं कि अगर बच्चा पढ़ने के लिए स्कू ल
में �वेश लेता है , तो टीचर ही उसका फार्म भरें गे। वे तहसीलदार या एसडीएम के पास जाएंगे,
तहसीलदार या एसडीएम �माण-प� बना कर स्कू ल वालों को दे गा और स्कू ल वाले ही उसे उस
बच्चे के पेरेंट्स को दे दें गे। अब पेरेंट्स को कहीं जाने-आने की आवश्यकता नहीं है । यह भी तय
किया गया है कि minimum within 7 days and maximum within 15 days में इस �कार
की व्यवस्था कर ली जाएगी। ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी उपसभापति: गहलोत जी, आपको और कितने मिनट चाहिए?
�ी मुख्तार अब्बास नक़वी: सर, आज आप मं �ी जी पर बहु त मे हरबान हैं ।
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: सर, उन्होंने कहा कि जाति के आधार पर जनगणना होनी चाहिए,
जैसे हर 10 साल में जनगणना होती है । पिछली बार अलग से जाति के आधार पर जनगणना
करवाई गई है , लेकिन अभी उसका िडक्लेरे शन बाकी है । उस दिशा में हम कुछ �यास कर रहे हैं ।
एक माननीय सदस्य ने कहा कि बैकलागॅ पूरा नहीं हो रहा है , यह बात सही है । उत्तर
�दे श के लिए वीर सिंह जी ने कहा कि बहन मायावती जी ने वहां बैकलॉग को पूरा किया था,
पर आज की स्थिति में वहां पर भी बैकलॉग है । इसके लिए हमने �यास किया है और भारत
सरकार के मं �ालयों को भी लिखा है , साथ ही राज्य सरकार को भी लिखा है । हमने यह �यास
किया है , जिससे पिछले वर्ष की तुलना में इस बार हर राज्य में बैकलॉग में कमी आई है । हमने
रिक्त स्थानों की पूर्ति करने का �यास किया है । भारत सरकार के मं �ालयों ने भी इसी �कार
के �यास किए हैं । अनेक मं �ालयों की जानकारी मे रे पास आई है । अगर आप समय दें गे, तो मैं
आंकड़ों सहित वह जानकारी दे ने के लिए तैयार हूं । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी मुख्तार अब्बास नक़वी: सर, इन्हें किसी और दिन समय दे दीजिए।
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: मुझे नक़वी जी कह रहे थे कि कहीं आप पर भी राधा मोहन जी का

असर तो नहीं पड़ रहा है , लेकिन आपने मुझे कह िदया कि पूरा जवाब दो, इसलिए मैं जवाब दे ने
लगा। अगर आप कहते, तो मैं केवल रे लेवट
ें मै टर पर ही बोलकर अपनी बात समाप्त कर दे ता।
�ी उपसभापति: आप ऐसा ही कीजिए। जो रे लेवट

ें है , वही बात कीजिए और अपनी बात
खत्म कीजिए।
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: क्या आपको पूरी बात नहीं सुननी है ?
�ी के. सोम�साद जी ने भी इस बिल का समर्थन किया है । दिलीप तिर्की साहब ने जो मांग

की है , उस पर निश्चित रूप से हमारा मं �ालय विचार कर रहा है । आरजीआई ने उसके लिए येस
कर दिया है । इस सवाल को हमने एसएसी कमिशन के पास भेजा है , अगर एससी कमिशन की
रिपोर्ट येस में आएगी, तो अगली बार हम उसको भी बिल के रूप में यहां लाने की कोशिश करें गे।
सीलम साहब ने भी बहु त सारी बातें कही हैं । उन्होंने जो कठिनाई बताई है , उस कठिनाई
को दू र करने के लिए हम �यास कर रहे हैं । एक माननीय सदस्य ने ऐसा कहा है कि हम
आयोग की रिपोर्ट पेश नहीं करते हैं । मैं सदन को बताना चाहता हूं कि 2013-14 तक आयोग की
जितनी भी रिपोर्ट्स थीं, वे सब हमने पिछले स� में सब्मिट कर दी हैं । जहां तक चर्चा करवाने
का सवाल है , अगर आप मांग करें गे और इधर से स्वीकृति मिल जाएगी, तो हम चर्चा करने के
िलए तैयार हैं । हम सुओ मोटो �यास करने की बात भी करें गे, परन्तु अब यह सदन की सम्पत्ति
हो गई है । जब �तिवेदन सदन के पटल पर रख दिया जाता है , तो वह सदन की सम्पत्ति हो
जाता है । ...(व्यवधान)...
SHRI D. RAJA: You check your facts. Not all the reports have been submitted.
And they say because of Action Taken Reports, it is getting delayed. I argued in
a Committee meeting. It is Annual Report, not Biannual Report. You must submit
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: ऐक्शन टे कन के बारे में मैं आपको अलग से लिखित में जानकारी
दे दूं गा।
SHRI D. RAJA: No, no. You check your facts.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: सीलम साहब ने रं गनाथ मि�ा कमे टी की बात कही है । मैं इस
िवषय पर पहले ही बोल चुका था, इसलिए आज उस पर बोलने की आवश्यकता महसूस नहीं
करता, फिर भी मैं एक निवेदन करना चाहता हूं । परन्तु फिर भी मैं यह निवेदन करना चाहता
हूं कि सु�ीम कोर्ट ने एक बार नहीं, अनेक बार और सरकार ने 1948 में भी, 1952 में भी और
1956 में भी इस �कार के विषयों पर विचार किया हर सरकार ने उसको असहमति दे दी, अर्थात्
धर्मान्तरित ि‍�श्चियन और मुिस्लम जब धर्म परिवर्तन कर लेता है , तो वहां छु आछू त का वातावरण
नहीं होता है और एससी का दर्जा संविधान में उन्हीं जातियों को मिला है , जिनके साथ छु आछू त
का वातावरण है । इस बात को सबने सहमति दी। उसमें आपकी भी सरकार थी अभी तक सु�ीम
कोर्ट के निर्णय के बंधन में भी यह हम लागू करने की स्थिति में नहीं हैं । जहां तक आपने कहा
कि ऋण दे ना चाहिए, तो 'जनधन योजना' के माध्यम से, 'मु�ा योजना' के माध्यम से और 'Stand
Up India' तथा 'Start Up India' में जो उद्यमिता के क्षे� में ऋण सुविधा उपलब्ध कराने की
कोशिश की गई है , BICCI के साथ भी एक कां�ेस करके इस दिशा में आगे बढ़ने का �यास
किया है । �धान मं �ी जी ने एक निर्णय लि‍या है कि दे श की जो बैंकों की सवा लाख शाखाएं
हैं , हर शाखा को कम से कम दो एससी वर्ग के लोगों को लोन दे ना ही पड़े गा। ...(व्यवधान)...
उसमें एससी प्लस महिला और इसके साथ ही साथ 500 करोड़ रुपये के Venture Capital Fund
का भी हमने �ावधान किया है । ...(व्यवधान)...
SHRI JESUDASU SEELAM: No, no. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay, okay. ...(Interruptions)... हो गया। ...(व्यवधान)...

I think, Mr. Minister, now, you can try to conclude. ...(Interruptions)...
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: सर, आपने एक आदे श दिया था। �ी रिपुन बोरा ने एक मांग की
थी। वे पांच-छ: जातियां हैं । हालाकि
ं उन्होंने तो उनको अनु सूचित जनजाति में मिलाने को कहा है ,
परन्तु अनु सूचित जनजाति या अनु सूचित जाति में मिलाने के लिए अगर सम्बन्धित राज्य सरकार
�स्ताव भेजेगी, तो हम जरूर विचार करें गे। ...(व्यवधान)... अगर एससी के बारे में है , तो RGI की
ू पूर्वक विचार करें गे। ...(व्यवधान)...
रिपोर्ट और एससी कमिशन की रिपोर्ट के बाद हम सहानु भति
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay. ...(Interruptions)... Very good! ...(Interruptions)...
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: सर, अंत में िनवेदन करता हूं संविधान (अनु सूचित जातियां) आदे श
(संशोधन) िवधेयक, जो लोक सभा द्वारा पारित किया गया है , उसे उसी रूप में इस सदन में
भी पारित किया जाए।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay. ...(Interruptions)... All right. ...(Interruptions)...

What is it, Mr. Tapan? ...(Interruptions)... Mr. Tapan, what is your point?
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: That I will tell. ...(Interruptions)... You allow me;
I will tell. ...(Interruptions)... If you allow me, I will tell. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: I have allowed you. ...(Interruptions)... I am asking

you why you are standing up. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: Sir, my point is this. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Put your question. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: I will be pointing out only on the relevant issues.
मं �ी जी बार-बार relevant-relevant कई दफे बोल चुके हैं । मैं सिर्फ relevant issue ही बोलूंगा।
थोड़ी िवसंगतियों को सुधारने के लिए यह बिल लाया गया है । हम लोग इसका समर्थन भी करते
हैं , लेकिन कुछ विसंगतियां रह गई हैं । यह सवाल इस चर्चा के दौरान उठा। हम यह मानते हैं
कि अलग-अलग स्टेट्स में एससी/एसटी की definition दू सरी-दू सरी कम्युनिटी में होती हैं । कभी
स्टेट के अन्दर और जिले के अन्दर भी ऐसा होता है , लेकिन मान लीजिए मैं बंगाल का हूं , I
am from SC community. I am given the SC certificate on the basis that I have
been a Bengali in the Bengal State. अभी काम करने के लिए मैं असम गया, तो मेरा SC
status चला गया। Is this as per the Constitutional spirit of reservation? मैं कहता हूं कि
उस स्टेट के अन्दर िडफर कर सकता है ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: That he said already. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: But I am also an Indian citizen. I have a

constitutional right to go to any corner of the country for my job or any other
purpose. The moment I go there, I lose my status of SC or ST, whatever it may
be. इस तरीके से चाय बागान के maximum workers झारखं ड से असम में pull किए गए थे।
They are not getting SC/ST status. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: That he has already replied. ...(Interruptions)... He

said.....(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: One minute! ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Mr. Tapan, he has already replied to that point.
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: No, Sir. He has not replied. ...(Interruptions)... He
replied that यह reality है , एससी/एसटी की जो definition है , State to State, sometimes
district to district, differ कर रही है । It is not a question of difference. A Bengali
Namasudra has been rehabilitated in Uttarakhand and he is not considered as SC.
A Bengali Namasudra. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: But the State Government should ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: ...who was rehabilitated in Dandkaranya, he has lost
his ST status. This is a serious constitutional impropriety. I want to know whether
the Government will respond to correct it.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Tapanji, the State Government should take it up.
...(Interruptions)... You made your point. ...(Interruptions)... You made your point. It
is very clear.
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: No, I have not made my point. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Even I understood it. ...(Interruptions)... That means

everybody understood it. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: Migration has become a reality throughout the
country. ...(Interruptions)... You must respond to that. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Mr. Seelam, put the question only. ...(Interruptions)...
What is your question?
SHRI JESUDASU SEELAM: The hon. Minister has quoted the Soosai judgement
of the Supreme Court. The substance of the judgement is that if there is social
discrimination even after conversion to Islam or Christianity, it should be given to
them. After the judgement, Justice Ranganath Mishra Commission went round the
country, came up with empirical evidence and concluded that since even after the
conversion, they suffer social discrimination, this should be made religion-neutral. I
would like the hon. Minister ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: I got it. ...(Interruptions)...

SHRI JESUDASU SEELAM: It is the fundamental right...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: It is clear. ...(Interruptions)... I understood it.

SHRI JESUDASU SEELAM: I would request the hon. Minister not to mislead
the House. ...(Interruptions)... सु�ीम कोर्ट में मामला है । ...(व्यवधान)... आपको reply दे ना
है । ...(व्यवधान)... कृपया आप इसका reply दीजिए। ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay. Mr. Raja, you have already spoken.
...(Interruptions)... Then why do you want to speak again? ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI D. RAJA: You asked me to put the question.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Put the question. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI D. RAJA: I made it clear that we support the Bill.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: What is your question?
SHRI D. RAJA: The Leader of the House is present. ...(Interruptions)... The

Minister did not reply to my question. ...(Interruptions)... So I am asking the question.
What about the Government’s stand in extending the policy of reservation to the
private sector? ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: This is not relevant to this. ...(Interruptions)... Sit

down. ...(Interruptions)... That is not relevant to this. ...(Interruptions)... That is not
relevant to this. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI D. RAJA: Why not? ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: Why not? ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: That is a different subject. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI D. RAJA: Sir, you are a Professor. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: That is a different subject. ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI D. RAJA: Sir, I know that it is a different subject. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Then why do you raise it? ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI D. RAJA: It is related to Scheduled Castes. That is why I am asking it.

...(Interruptions)... Let the Minister respond to it. ...(Interruptions)... The Leader of
the House is present. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: All right.
SHRI D. RAJA: I also asked one more question. The Planning Commission
is not there. The NITI Aayog is there. How will you ensure the earmarking of
funds for the Scheduled Castes Special Component Plan and the Tribal Sub Plan?
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Mr. Hussain Dalwai, what is your question?

�ी हु सैन दलवई (महाराष्ट्र): सर, महाराष्ट्र में Kaikadi समाज है , वह सबसे नीचे का समाज
है । वह दलितों से भी बहु त गरीब है और नीचे है । उसको कुछ डिस्ट्रिक्ट्स में रिजर्वेशन मिलता
है , लेकिन कुछ डिस्ट्रिक्ट्स में नहीं िमलता है । महाराष्ट्र सरकार ने आपको इस संबंध में लेटर
लिखा है , उन्होंने आपसे विनती की है कि उसको पूरे महाराष्ट्र में एससी का दर्जा िदया जाए
और एससी को मिलनी वाली सारी सहू लियतें उसको दी जाएं।
दू सरी मांग यह है कि Khatik समाज को दलित करके एससी में लिया गया है , लेकिन मुस्लिम
Khatik को इसमें नहीं लिया गया है । क्या आप इसके बारे में भी विचार करें गे?
SHRI RIPUN BORA: I only want to clarify it ...(Interruptions)... Hon. Minister

has said that if the proposal comes from the State Government, he will consider
that. Actually, that is not the fact. The proposal was already there. ...(Interruptions)...
A number of discussions were held. Hon. Prime Minister, during his last visit to
Assam, said, “He is getting the proposal from the Assam Government and he will
do it.” We have already sent the proposal. ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Mr. Minister, would you like to respond to this?
क्या आप इनको रिप्लाई दे सकते हैं ? अगर आप दे ना चाहते हैं , तो दे दीजिए। आपकी मर्जी।
You can give.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: आप कहें गे, तो मैं जवाब दे दूं गा।
�ी उपसभापति: दे दीजिए, इम्पॉर्टें ट सब्जेक्ट है ।
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: महाराष्ट्र की Kaikadi जाति के संबंध में महाराष्ट्र सरकार का �स्ताव
आया है । उसको हमने आरजीआई के पास विचार करने के लिए भेजा है । जब आरजीआई का
�तिवेदन आ जाएगा, उसके बाद उसे हम एससी आयोग के पास भेजेंगे और जब एससी आयोग
की रिपोर्ट भी सकारात्मक आएगी तो फिर हम उसके आगे यहां तक आएंगे। ...(व्यवधान)... मैं ने
असम का बोला है । ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: He says that the State Government has already
recommended and discussions were held. So, your requirement is already over.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: मे रे पास इस �कार का या इस आशय का किसी भी राज्य का

कोई �स्ताव पेंडिंग नहीं है ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: मुझे जो बताना था, वह मैं ने बताया कि ये दो �स्ताव थे, जो
आरजीआई और एससी कमीशन के पास हैं , इनके अलावा कोई �स्ताव हमारे पास विचाराधीन
नहीं है और राज्य सरकारों से कुछ आया नहीं है । ...(व्यवधान)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay. Now, the question is that ...(Interruptions)...

What happened? ...(Interruptions)...
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: Sir, my point has not been replied to.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: That is up to the Minister. He may or may not.

...(Interruptions)... It is up to him. ...(Interruptions)... Tapanji, it is up to the Minister.
SHRI TAPAN KUMAR SEN: I have raised a question of Constitutional propriety.

I understood his point and accept his point. I raised the issue of Constitutional
propriety. In a State, the moment an SC moves out of a State for earning his
livelihood, he loses his status. For how long will it continue? ...(Interruptions)...
Reply is ‘okay’. ...(Interruptions)... What is that? ...(Interruptions)... What do you
think? ...(Interruptions)...
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Don’t get angry. ...(Interruptions)... That is correct.

He is ready. ...(Interruptions)... It is up to the Minister to answer or not to answer.
...(Interruptions)... He is ready to answer. You sit down. ...(Interruptions)... The Chair
cannot compel him to answer, but he is ready to answer. On his own, he is ready.
मं �ी जी, आपके पास इनका कोई रिप्लाई है , तो आप बोलिए।
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: महोदय, इस संबंध में उच्चतम न्यायालय ने दो बार निर्णय दिया
है कि अगर एक राज्य की कोई जाति का व्यक्ति किसी अन्य राज्य में जाता है और अगर उस
राज्य में उसकी जाति अनु सूचित जाति में लिस्टेड नहीं है , तो वहां उसको लाभ नहीं मिलेगा,
किन्तु भारत सरकार की सेवाओं में वह दे श के किसी भी हिस्से में जाएगा और वह उस जाति
में है , तो उसे उसका लाभ मिलेगा। सु�ीम कोर्ट के निर्णय के तारतम्य में और सु�ीम कोर्ट ने
संवध
ै ानिक �ावधानों को ध्यान में रखकर जो निर्णय लिया है , वह हमारे लिए बंधनकारी है ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: The Supreme Court has given that verdict. So, that’s
all. ...(Interruptions)... Tapanji, you got a good reply. Sit down. ...(Interruptions)...
Mr. Tapan Kumar Sen, please sit down. ...(Interruptions)... You got a reply. Sit
down. ...(Interruptions)...
Now, the question is:

That the Bill further to amend the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order,
1950, as passed by Lok Sabha, be taken into consideration.
The motion was adopted.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: We shall now take up Clause-by-Clause consideration

of the Bill. Clause 2 stands part of the Bill. There is one Amendment (No.1) by
Shri Vishambhar Prasad Nishad. Are you moving?
�ी िवशम्भर �साद निषाद: मान्यवर, मं �ी जी ने हमें स्पष्टीकरण िदया नहीं है । मं �ी जी ने

कहा कि अगर पर्यायवाची जातियां हैं , जैसे मल्लाह है , तो उसकी पर्यायवाची जाति निषाद है ,
मांझी है । इसी तरह इन्होंने पाई और मा�ा की बात कही है । उत्तर �दे श में तुरैहा 1950 की सूची
में 66 नम्बर पर है , लेकिन अगर उसे कोई तुरहा लिख दे ता है , तो कहते हैं कि तुम बैकवर्ड
क्लास के हो।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: So, you want a clarification.
�ी िवशम्भर �साद निषाद: हमने इस बात पर जोर िदया था, लेकिन मं �ी जी ने इसका
उत्तर नहीं िदया।
�ी उपसभापति: उत्तर नहीं िदया?
�ी िवशम्भर �साद निषाद: इसके अलावा, हम यह कहना चाहते हैं कि उत्तर �दे श सरकार
ने वर्ष 2004 से लेकर 2016 तक समाजवादी पार्टी की सरकार ने कें� सरकार को छ: बार
�स्ताव भेजा। वहां भारतीय जनता पार्टी की सरकार रही, बीएसपी की सरकार रही और कां�ेस
की सरकार रही, लेकिन किसी ने इसका समर्थन नहीं किया, अगर किसी ने इसका समर्थन किया
तो केवल समाजवादी पार्टी ने किया। इसलिए हम चाहते हैं कि दू ध का दू ध और पानी का पानी
हो जाए कि इन्हें ये अनु सूचित जाित में शामिल करने के पक्ष में हैं या नहीं?
�ी उपसभापति: मैं समझ गया। मं �ी जी, आप बोलिए, आपको इसके बारे में क्या कहना है ?
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: सर, मैं ने पहले भी इस बात का जवाब दिया था कि वे जो �ाइवेट
में बर्स बिल लाए थे, वह ओबीसी कम्युनिटी में आने वाली जातियों को एससी में मिलाने का था
और आज जो संशोधन दिया है , वह भी उसी बात के लिए है । इसमें कोई grammatical सुधार
करने के िलए या पर्यायवाची शब्द जोड़ने के लिए या spelling mistake को ठीक करने के लिए
उत्तर �दे श सरकार से कोई �स्ताव नहीं है । वे उत्तर �दे श सरकार से �स्ताव भिजवाएंगे तो
हम विचार करें गे।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: He is very, very positive.
�ी नीरज शे खर: उत्तर �दे श सरकार से क्या मतलब है ?
�ी िवशम्भर �साद निषाद: मान्यवर, 6 बार उत्तर �दे श सरकार भेज चुकी है । ...(व्यवधान)...
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: नहीं भेजा है । ...(व्यवधान)...

�ी उपसभापति: संजीव कुमार जी, प्लीज़ ...(व्यवधान)... िवशम्भर �साद निषाद जी, सुनिए।
मं �ी जी ने आश्वासन दिया है कि उत्तर �दे श सरकार �स्ताव भेजे, वे उस पर consider करें गे।
आपको और क्या चाहिए? Are you moving your amendment?
Clause 2 – Amendment of Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order 1950
�ी िवशम्भर �साद निषाद: सर, मैं उनके आश्वासन को नहीं मानता हूं इसलिए मैं अपना
अमें डमें ट मूव करता हूं ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Okay, you move it.
�ी िवशम्भर �साद निषाद: महोदय, मैं �स्ताव करता हूं :
कि पृष्ठ 2, पंक्ति 16 के पश्चात् निम्नलिखित अंत:स्थापित किया जाए, अर्थात—
''(च) भाग 18 - उत्तर �दे श में ,-
(i) �विष्टि 18 के स्थान पर रखें -
''18. बेलदार, बिन्द''
(ii) �विष्टि 36 के स्थान पर रखें -
''36. गोंड गोडि़या, कहार, कश्यप, बाथम''
(iii) �विष्टि 53 के स्थान पर रखें —
''53. मझवार, मल्लाह, केवट, मांझी, निषाद, मछु वा''
(iv) �विष्टि 59 के स्थान पर रखें -
''59. पासी, तरमाली, भर, राजभर''
(v) �विष्टि 65 के स्थान पर रखें -
''65. िशल्पकार, कुम्हार, �जापति''
(vi) �विष्टि 66 के स्थान पर रखें -
''66. तुरैहा, तुरहा, धीमर, धीवर''
The question was put and the motion was negatived.
Clause 2 was added to the Bill.
Clause 1, the Enacting Formula and the Title were added to the Bill.
�ी थावर चन्द गहलोत: महोदय, मैं �स्ताव करता हूं :
कि विधेयक को पारित किया जाए।

MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Shrimati Nirmala Sitharaman to move the Industries

(Development and regulation) Amendment Bill, 2015.
The Industries (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2015
THE MINISTER OF STATE OF THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND

INDUSTRY (SHRIMATI NIRMALA SITHARAMAN): Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir,
I move:
That the Bill further to amend the Industries (Development and Regulation)
Act, 1951, as passed by Lok Sabha, be taken into consideration.
The question was proposed.
�ी नीरज शे खर (उत्तर �दे श): सर, मैं एक चीज़ कहना चाहता हूं । आपको शायद कुछ
कन्फ्यूज़न होता है । मैं संजीव कुमार नहीं हूं , नीरज शेखर हूं । संजीव कुमार जी यहां बैठते हैं ।
�ी उपसभापति: ठीक है , sorry ...(व्यवधान)... One more addition to the list. अभी तो
पांच हो गए हैं । ...(व्यवधान)...
SOME HON. MEMBERS: Sir, please take it up tomorrow.
�ी नीरज शे खर: सर, इसे कल लीजिए। ...(व्यवधान)... सर, सदन में कोई नहीं है , फिर
भी बिल लिया जा रहा है ।
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: She has already moved it. उन्होंने मूव कर दिया है ।
Shri Ananda Bhaskar Rapolu. Are you speaking? Otherwise, I will call the next
speaker, Mr. Rangasayee Ramakrishna.
SHRI ANANDA BHASKAR RAPOLU (Talangana): I am speaking.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Then, you speak.
SHRI ANANDA BHASKAR RAPOLU: Respected Deputy Chairman, Sir, in

this environment of decreasing business confidence, lowering industrial production
and lowering manufacturing in India, we are going to have a small amendment to
the beautiful piece of 1951, the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act. In
that Act, in the First Schedule, at the heading of the 26, keeping the times and
the industrial process of the times in view, 'fermentation industries' was mentioned.
As the times grew, as the law is evolutionary and the industrial processes are also
evolutionary, in 1997, a tussle between Bihar Distillery versus Union of India came
before the hon. Supreme Court of India. The Supreme Court asked the potable
alcohol fermentation to be handled by the State Governments wherein the industrial
alcohol fermentation would be with the Union Government. That has necessitated,
but even after that, the times have changed. There is a lot of improvement in the
[Shri Ananda Bhaskar Rapolu]

biotechnology and micro biology. The fermentation based food processing and other
industrial needs have grown. This latest piece, as decided by the Union Cabinet
in 2015, is now having only one small addition of a phrase, that is, fermentation
industries other than potable alcohol. Sir, fermentation itself is making of spirit.
Fermentation itself is a chemical reaction. Fermentation itself is chemical conversion
of sugars, carbohydrates into acids, gases, ethanol and alcohol. The food processing
is having the preservation technique in the fermentation. It will be producing lactic
acid so as to make some pickles or yogurt.
[THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (DR. SATYANARAYAN JATIYA) in the Chair]
Likewise, we are used to have the acetic acid. We are very much used to have
the citric acid. We are used to have, in a very large quantity, the ethanol. These
are all by fermentation.
At this juncture, with this enactment, I appreciate that this enactment transfers the
authority to regulate potable alcohol to the State Governments. This is welcome. But,
at the same time, keeping the growing bio technology and the micro biology-based,
fermentation based, food processing needs and food processing industrial units, I call
upon the Union Government to broadly look at the needs of addition in the headings
so as to address to the modern requirements based on the advanced technologies.
You are just confining to the same basic word of fermentation with small addition
of other than potable alcohol. But, the hon. Supreme Court has already dealt with
it elaborately. Law Commission of India on its own, suo motu, in its 158th Report,
elaborately studied and advised. But, based on that, what are the larger ramifications
that we are going to come across and what sort of litigations that will be before the
courts has to be kept in mind while making the enactment. This small piecemeal
enactment is going to be shown towards federalism, co-operative federalism. Federalism
itself is the basis of co-operation. At the same time, the industrial production shall
ensure such modern environment. For that, modern technologies on the fermentation
involving biotechnology, microbiology and all other advanced technologies shall be
kept in mind while making the addition to this beautiful piece of 1951. Anyhow,
since this is going to empower the State Governments with their right to regulate
the potable alcohol, we welcome the Amendment and we support the Bill. Thank
you very much.
SHRI RANGASAYEE RAMAKRISHNA (Karnataka): Sir, I rise to support this

Bill. It is a very simple Bill which is in pursuance of a decision of the Supreme
Court and which was then examined in depth by the Law Commission. So, we are
accepting the Law Commission's Report and we are including fermentation industries,
other than potable alcohol, in the IDR Act, 1951, by substituting the Heading 26.
6.00 p.m.
Now industries engaged in the manufacture of alcohol meant for potable purposes
shall be under the total and exclusive control of States in all respects. The Central
Government will continue formulting policies and regulating foreign collaboration
for all products of fermentation industries including industrial alcohol and potable
alcohol. Now this Amendment is simple. There is no problem in that. But I wanted
to participate in this debate to focus on a very larger issue. The larger issue is that
ever since the British days and ever since the Constitution came into force, the
Central Excise Duty is applicable to all the industries. But for the alcohol industry,
the power rests with the State Government. Now this has led to a situation where
most of the political lobbies in the States are, actually, in the control of the alcohol
manufacturers. This is the only country in which we have given a very interesting
status to the consumption of alcohol. We do not encourage healthier liquors like
beer or wine and a lot of encouragement is there, directly or indirectly, for spurious
liquors. And this is causing undue harm to the health of the nation, and particularly,
the womenfolk all over the country are in total distress. Every now and then, this
becomes a big issue. Now, for instance, currently in Tamil Nadu, one of the major
issues in the electoral struggle is whether there should be prohibition or not. I had
been the Excise Secretary in the State Government and I have seen bootleggers,
actually, wanting to promote prohibition because that way their business interests
will be further increased by this partial type of prohibition. I think it is high time
that we regulate the whole process of the consumption of alcohol and encourage
only health drinks and totally ban spurious liquors.
This will be in the interest of the public health of the nation as well as in the
interest of, particularly, the women folk.
With these words, I support the Bill. Thank you.
SHRI BHUPINDER SINGH (Odisha): I thank you for giving me this opportunity
to speak on this Bill. I myself and my party — BJD — support the industrial
(Development and Regulation) Bill, 2015. I rather congratulate and thank the
Government that it took 20 years after the verdict of the Supreme Court to amend
this Act.
Although the Constitution of India clearly defines the role and jurisdiction of
the Center and the States, certain issues keep cropping up and in such situations
the onus of interpretation falls on courts. This Bill also flows from such a court
judgment. In 1997, the hon. Supreme Court had asked for a clear demarcation of
powers between the Center and the States in the matter of regulating potable alcohol
and the other types of alcohol used for industrial purposes.
[Shri Bhupinder Singh]

Now, through this amendment to the First Schedule of the original Act, it has
been provided that the States would exclusively regulate potable alcohol while the
alcohol, other than potable, would be regulated by the Centre. In fact, this is a
very minor but an important amendment. I am saying so because some States take
unilateral decision to ban alcohol in their respective States. In that case, alcohol used
for industrial purposes also falls in jeopardy. So, a clear-cut demarcation of power
was much needed. Moreover, alcohol is a sensitive issue for masses and especially
with regard to potable alcohol the State Governments should have the final say.
The State Government is always in a better position to assess the ground impact of
alcohol consumption. So, it should be free to frame its policies accordingly.
Thus, while supporting this Bill, I would urge upon the Government to bring
about further transparency as far as the Center-State jurisdiction is concerned in other
matters as well. Our party is a strong votary of a solid federal framework. And this
is precisely the underlying spirit of the Constitution also. The present Government
also talks, eloquently, about co-operative federalism. So, it must not falter on this
count. Decisions should not be taken because of political exigencies.
Secondly, I am also a bit surprised that why it took us about 20 years to

implement a judgment of the Supreme Court! It is a poor reflection on the efficacy
of our executive.
With these words, I support the bill. Thank you.
SHRIMATI NIRMALA SITHARAMAN: Sir, this is a minor amendment to the

Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951. The Bill presented before this
House is as passed by the Lok Sabha.
I am glad that the Members who have participated in the discussion have really
gone into the details of the Bill. I would very quickly recall, this is something
which the Supreme Court had broadly indicated in its judgment in 1997. Since then,
at different times, different actions were taken. However, because there were some
cases which were pending, actually speaking, since 2008, this has gone through a
lot of waiting.
(MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN in the Chair)
In 2012, there was a Cabinet Note circulated, opinions were gathered from different
Ministries. However, the Bill couldn’t be placed in time. As a result, as soon as
this Government came in, we picked it up because this is a matter which had been
considered by the Cabinet, and the Cabinet had moved a Note and the judgement
had come from the Supreme Court. It was necessary for us to act. Therefore, from
2014 onwards, we have started working, and it was placed in the Lok Sabha in
2015, and it was duly passed. Very quickly, what it does is to just amend Entry 26
in the First Schedule of this Act, from what it read as, “Fermentation Industries”
to now read as “Fermentation Industries (Other Than Potable Alcohol)”. It is this
amendment which has now become necessary. A few responses may be just in time
and appropriate because Members have raised certain issues, which I would certainly
like to respond. Hon. Member, Shri Ananda Bhaskar Rapolu had raised this issue of
-- we should keep this in mind – litigations which might come in the future. I just
want to draw his attention to the Act itself, the Bill which has been placed before
this House wherein under Clause 2, there is Section 29E. That entire paragraph has
been inserted only to keep in mind any possibility of a future litigation that might
arise which is a very legitimate point that the Member has raised. I am not sure
that I need to spend time of this valuable House reading that paragraph.
SHRI BHUPINDER SINGH: That Clause is there.
SHRIMATI NIRMALA SITHARAMAN: That is what I am saying; Section 29E

which is there definitely does take care of the concern which you have raised.
Then, hon. Member, Shri Ramakrishna spoke on this Bill. I am also grateful
to Shri Rapolu who did support the Bill and as did Shri Ramakrishna. But, he
said, ‘while this amendment is simple, there is a larger issue that he would want
to address’. I certainly would want to answer as much as I can. In that matter,
Central Excise Duty governs all industries, but in alcohol industry alone, this power
is with the States and that is leading to a lot of ambiguity. I would want to draw
his attention to the fact that during the consultation which happened, the Department
of Revenue had given its viewpoint on it, and I just want to assure the Member
here that the input which has come from the Department of Revenue duly addresses
his concern. I just would want to read that line which has been given from by the
Finance Ministry in response to the Note. It says, “This expression 'potable alcohol'
is not familiar to the revenue. It is the Excise Department that uses its nomenclature
while imposing excise duty. As a result, does potable alcohol get taxed under the
State, thus, the Centre does not have an excise duty." All this gets covered under
the very way the Excise Department has responded saying, “Potable, non-potable,
other than potable are not expressions that they use. They look at levying Central
Excise Duty on ethyl alcohol and other spirits de-natured of any strength”. So, for
them it doesn’t matter whether you are talking about potable or non-potable. They
only go looking at that particular description. Therefore, I suppose, hon. Member,
Shri Ramakrishna should have clarity now as this has been further explained. I am
[Shrimati Nirmala Sitharaman]

also grateful to the BJD Member, Bhupinder Singhji who supported this amendment.
I, too, fully take his point that co-operative federalism can better work with greater
execution and better execution of many of these Acts. With these words, I suppose,
I have addressed the questions and concerns raised by the hon. Members.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Now, the question is:

That the Bill further to amend the Industries (Development and Regulation)
Act, 1951, as passed by Lok Sabha, be taken into consideration.
The motion was adopted.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: We shall, now, take up clause-by-clause consideration

of the Bill. In Clause 2, there is one Amendment (No.3) by the Minister.

(3) That at page 2, line 3, for the figure "2015", the figure "2016" be substituted.
Clause 2, as amended, was added to the Bill.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: On Clause 3, there is one Amendment No.4 by

Shri T. Subbarami Reddy. He is absent.
Clause 3 was added to the Bill.
Clause 1 – Short title.
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: On Clause 1, there is one Amendment (No. 2) by

Shrimati Nirmala Sitharaman.

SPECIAL MENTIONS*
MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Shri Ahmed Patel is not present.
Demand to enact a legislation to protect the interests of consumers from

being misguided by celebrity endorsement of consumer products
SHRI SHANTARAM NAIK (Goa): Sir, the issue widely discussed in the
country is how far the celebrities who endorse the products of various companies in
electronic media, print media, radio or in public hoardings should be held liable as
regards genuineness of the respective products, and be punished for misrepresentation,
falsehood, cheating etc.
In this connection, claims being made by certain individuals regarding magical

or divine treatment with respect to their recommendations, advice, astrological or
otherwise, as regards marriages, business, health-related problems, studies, foreign
visits etc., also need to be probed into by concerned Government Departments,
agencies or Ministries.
Question arises whether a celebrity or other individual can really be deemed to

know about the products they advertise, particularly, items like electronic, electric
products, motor vehicles, medical equipments and the like.
Therefore, it is neither possible that celebrities can be expected to have a thorough

knowledge of the products that they endorse, nor can it be said that it is not necessary
*Laid on the Table.

516 Special [RAJYA SABHA] Mentions
[Shri Shantaram Naik]

that those who endorse the products should be detached from any responsibility and
that they should not be considered to have any responsibility towards the society.
The Government, therefore, should enact a special legislation to protect the

consumers' interest in this regard so that consumers are not taken for a ride.
Further, illiterate and semi-literate easily fall prey to the preachings and advice
given by "Godmen" and persons claiming to have astrological solutions to all the
problems and, therefore, society needs to be protected from such persons.

Demand to take necessary steps to give special category

status to the State of Odisha
SHRI BHUPINDER SINGH (Odisha): Sir, Odisha is one of the most backward
States and ranks third in the country in terms of Scheduled Tribes population and
eleventh in terms of Scheduled Castes population. Despite its best efforts, the State
lags behind in various infrastructure developments such as roads, rail network,
irrigation facilities, electrification, healthcare and education. Besides the Kalahandi-
Bolangir-Koraput (KBK) region comprising 8 districts, another 10 districts needing
special attention in terms of development, have been covered under the Western
Odisha Development Council by the State Government out of State's own resources.
The State is chronically drought-prone, flood-prone and also affected by coastal
area-related natural calamities quite frequently. The existing criteria laid down by
the Union Government for conferment of ‘Special Category Status’ were stipulated
long back. The Union Finance Minister in his Budget Speech of 2014 had stated
in the House that he would propose new criteria for determining backwardness of
a State and reflect them in future planning and devolution of funds. Since 1979,
several Motions, Resolutions, adopted in Odisha Legislative Assembly demanding the
Union Government to declare the State as a ‘Special Category State’ and Memoranda
from Chief Ministers of Odisha have been sent to the Centre. The Raghuram Rajan
Committee has also recognised the State as one of the most backward States.
Special [28 April, 2016] Mentions 517
I, on the behalf of the people of Odisha, therefore, strongly demand to immediately

set up a high power Committee or a Group of Ministers to revise the criteria for
determining the backwardness of States and confer ‘Special Category Status’ to Odisha
on the lines of the State of Bihar given recently.

Demand to give attention to demands of women farmers of

Marathwada and Vidarbha in Maharashtra
SHRI HUSAIN DALWAI (Maharashtra): Sir, recently more than 500 women
farmers and widows of farmers who had committed suicide in regions like Marathwada
and Vidarbha gathered in Nagpur to protest against the failed promises and policies
of the Government. The police used force to break the peaceful protest and even
resorted to lathicharge to disperse the crowd which caused injuries to many women.
The demands raised by these women were completely legitimate. It is a common

knowledge now that various parts of Maharashtra have been reeling under severe
drought for two consecutive years. This has forced more than 1,000 farmers within a
year and within Marathwada alone to commit suicide. The relief from the Government
has come too little and too late. But the problem is more systemic. It is not just once
that agriculture has suffered immensely, but even in the past also the Vidarbha and
Marathwada regions have been rocked by rampant cases of suicide. The Government
is always caught off guard and then comes up with ad hoc temporary measures
instead of trying to find a permanent solution.
In this regard, the women farmers raised very pertinent demands of

implementation of the recommendations of the Swaminathan Report, for having
ownership titles for the land they till and for waiver of huge agricultural loans.
The Government needs to pay heed to their demands rather than using force to
suppress their voice. Thank you.
