CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY OF PAKISTAN DEBATES ON THE REPORT OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES COMMITTEE, 7TH OCTOBER, 1953.
SHRI DHIRENDRANATH DUTTA: Sir.......
If you look to the report itself. Sir, in the recommendations annexed to the Report on which our future Constitution is to be based, it has been stated that certain matters are still outstanding such as financial allocations between the Centre and the Units; nomenclature and the position of the acceding States in the new set up. A special subcommittee had been appointed under the Chairmanship of the Honorable Khwaja Nazimuddin to report on matters relating to the position of the acceding States in the future Constitution. These are matters really which are still outstanding; financial allocations between the Centre and the Units are very important. This Committee, Sir, has not yet submitted its report and it has not been placed before us. This I consider, one of the most important things to be considered. In this connection, I must tell this House if you look to the lists mentioned in the report. List No.I is the Federal List; List No. II is Provincial List or the Unit List; and List No. III is Concurrent List. If you look to these Lists, you will see that there are subjects included in both the Central List and as well as Provincial List and this, I should say, amounts that the Provinces are not but glorified Union Boards. If you look to the Lists, Sir, you will find that there is nothing which..........
Mr. Chairman: Order! Order! The time is up. The House stands adjourned till 11 a.m. tomorrow.
(8th October, 1953)
Shri Dili rend ra Nath Dutta (East Bengal: General): I was just referring yesterday to List No. II appended to this report. If you read List No. II, you will find that the Provincial Government-the Government of the Uniti- will not be able to run the administration at all. As I was submitting yesterday that the provinces will be nothing better than the glorified Union Boards. The Union Boards after paying the salaries of the chowkidars and dafadars, have not any fund whatsoever to carry on the administration and do its duties to the Public. So, it seems to me strange -I do not know whether the List is complete or not but if the list is complete- there is no provision anywhere in it for raising any fund whatsoever. Therefore, the most important thing to be considered is that funds should be given to the Provinces-Units to carry on the administration in the best possible way. While making amendments to the Basic Principles Committee's Report, I had suggested for raising certain taxes. It seems to me that the present source of raising the revenue has all along been denied to the Provinces.
