So that the real effect which this Constitution wants to give is that so far as those laws are inconsistent, they should be made inoperative, The rest will continue. So If these words are not there–“affect the operation of any existing law, or”–that would make no difference. If you examine the amendment to be moved by Dr. Ambedkar, the result is the same because in his amendment the words “in so far as it imposes” appear. Thus article 8 governs article 13 according to my amendment as well as his. The amendment of Dr. Ambedkar is unnecessary if the House accepts my amendment No. 454.
