Now I put Mr. Brajeshwar Prasad’s amendment, which is really an amendment to the amendment just now carried. The question is: “That for subparagraph (2) of paragraph 17, the following be substituted:- ‘The administration of the tribal areas of Assam specified in the Table shall be carried on by the President through the Governor of Assam as his agent and the provisions of Pan VIII of this Constitution shall apply thereto as if such area were a territory specified in Part IV of the First Schedule.’ ” The amendment was negatived.
