I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 14(1) be amended by deleting the words “fourteen days”. I say this because once someone notifies that he is quitting a party, the written notice to that party suffices. There are no rent arrears, which you are owed for it to warrant that 14 days should elapse before you quit a party. I think the matter of someone quitting a party is a constitutional right. Once a Member decides that he wants to quit a party, then there should be no timelines within which he is supposed to be retained within that party for it to be formalized. I think it is a matter of union; someone joined a party, he wants to quit it. I think once a written notice is given, that should suffice. So, I am proposing that we delete the words “fourteen days”, so that it becomes only a written notice. I will propose further amendments as we go on."}
