The second question is : We have already adopted article 275 in the Draft Constitution in a slightly different form from what it was in the original draft. Article 275 as it originally stood provided for the President proclaiming an emergency when the security of the country is threatened but later on the House has changed’ it. The new article says that ‘where the security of India or any part of the territory thereof is threatened’. Here this entry provides for detention only when the security of India is threatened. Should we not make it clear and say that ‘where for reasons connected with defence, foreign affairs or the security of India or any part of any territory thereof’ in consonance with 275 which we have already adopted?
