down. >ow our opponents
make the propaganda that
the** unemployed people
would gut their bread
when the Chinese take
possession of this area.
Such false propaganda
creates elusions in the
mind of the people of
this area who are very
innocent and patriotio and
are not likely to be pro-
Yoked easily. Till now
the propaganda of our
opponents bad no effeot
on these .people. And I
hope that in future too
it would have no effect
on them.

Therefore, we want
that the people of this
ar<r» should be given pie-
ferenoe at the time of
appointment for various
jobs so that they may
not think that the people
from plains are forced
upon them and they are
sent to plains instead. If
they ire given Govern-
ment jobs, they would fed
oot.tentsd. Thirty per
oent jobs should be reser-
ved for them. Aov 1
with to bnng to the no-
tice ol this House whet
some papers bitve writ ten
about this area. Natbha-
tat Timtt writes that
this region o*u bsoonie a
source of anxiety for the
Government of India be.
cause the influenoe of the
Communists is more on
the increase than that of
the Congress. In the se-
cond place, evWy year

the number of the "Nepali
speaking people is increas-
■ ing. The oafu.se of the ',
waning influonoe of ttm
Congress is lb it the lea-
ders have failed to get
redressed the grievance of
! the people. Their demand
-baa been that in this
backward region, souro s
of livelihood -should be
increased. The proposed
North Bengal, University
should be established here
and the means of trans-
port and communications -
should be improved.

Clause (3) of the Bill
says that "no" person ^rho
was not immediately be-
fore' the said day a Resi- '
dent in the area deolared
to be a notified area by the
notification shall enter or
attempt to enter that area
or be therein except in
'accordance with the terms
of a pcrn.it in writting
granted to him by s par-
sen..." I Wish te state
that there are many army
men from the 'hills who
come to hills during leave
or retirement. JheNepa
leie are free to come to
Darjeeling and India. Stu-
dents Who-Study outside
also oi.me to Hills during
holidays The people of
fcsikkim and Bhutan are
also free to onuie to India.
All these people should
be included in the exemp-
tion list.

In Clause 3(2) the
Bill states that "whoever
makes, publishes or cir-

culates in any notified
area any statement, ru-
**'nftur *or report which .it
likely to,be, prejudioal..."
This provision of "rumour"
is very sweeping aiid ii
likely, to lead to har.
raesmsot. (Condensed).
