Shri Dhirendra Nath Datta: He is not a scheduled caste. He belongs to minority community.
The Honorable Mr. Nurul Amin: Yes I am sorry. I withdraw.
Shri Sris Chandra Chattopadhyaya: He is a Parsi.
The Honorable Mr. Nurul Amin: May be a Parsi but he belongs to minority community.
Shri Dhirendra Nath Datta: He does not belong to East Bengal.

These gentle men are not the people who represent the entire minority community.
