1120 THE GAZETTE OP INDIA EXTRAORDINARY [PART JSTATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Kashmir being an integral part of India, there should not be any discrimination between citizens of India so far as the fundamental rights to purchase, enjoy and dispose of property, settlement in the State, employment, etc., are concerned. Unreasonable restriction on these rights is a clear violation of articles 13 and 19; article 35A which gives extraordinary power to the Government of Jammu & Kashmir and thereby restricts the scope of article 13 nullifies the whole significance of guarantee of fundamental rights so far as Kashmir is concerned.
Hence the necessity to delete article 35A.

122 THE GAZETTE OF INDTA EXTRAORDINARY [FART IISTATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
In the course of the debate on the Union Territories (Direct Elections to the House of the People) Bill, 1965 in the last Session "f Lok Sabha, a proposal was mooted by me and some other col- leagues that the Andaman and Nicobar Islands should be renamed as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had done after their liberation by the Azad Hind Fauj in 1944. Even the Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs who was in charge of the Bill, did not resist the proposal, but only said 'that it was not relevant' to the purpose of the Bill, and could be considered separately.
This Bill seeks to give legal form and content to that pco^sal.
