ON THE 24TH DECEMBER 10 A.M. START CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

(6) On the morning of the 24th December, the day scheduled for the Mahasabha Session, all jatthas and all Hindu-sanghatanist public, wherever they happen to be whether at Bhagalpur itself or at different places in the District on that morning, should simultaneously take out processions, prabhat-ferries and hold public meetings till they are arrested in case the ban is not raised.

(a) Those who happen to be in Bhagalpur on that morning of the 24th December should constitute the Session at the scheduled place. If the President happens to be amongst them he will preside and the Session will begin in its regular course. In case the President is unable to be present there, his deputy who will be sent there will preside. This open Session should be attended publicly by all delegates, the Hindu Sanghatanist public and by every Hindu who happens to be at Bhagalpur and can attend it. If this is dispersed by physical force by the authorities none of the constituent members should resist by any show or use of counter physical force, but should only continue to offer Civil Resistance till they are physically removed by the Authorities. After the dispersing of this first public and formal sitting of the Session, all delegates who find themselves free and the Hindu Sanghatanist public should in different batches spread out the sitting of the Session throughout the city of Bhagalpur in sections wherever they can afford to find a platform to address the public. In every chowk. at corners of streets, balconies, halls, in fact any place in the Bhagalpur town that they can occupy and use as a platform, these different jatthas with their leaders should continue to hold meetings as a part of the sitting of the Session continuously from the 24th to the end of the 27th December If Some meetings are dispersed and the Civil Resisters at those meetings are arrested, the remaining batches should continue to hold meetings at other places just the same. Every one who happens to be the leader or is elected on the spot as a leader of these meetings should act as a President for that particular meeting. If he has a copy of the Presidential speech, he should read it out and get passed the two or three chief resolutions. If he has no copy of the Presidential speech or of the resolutions, he should address the public on the general subject of the Hindu Sanghatan movement but as a part and parcel of the proceedings of the Session.

(b) Those who happen to be outside Bhagalpur but in the District of Bhagalpur owing to their inability to enter Bhagalpur, should hold meetings etc. on the same plan as described in (a) at those various towns and villages in the Bhagalpur District wherever they happen to be till they are arrested or dispersed.

(7) As it will be inadvisable to get ourselves couped and cabined in one particular place in case the ban on the Session is not raised, we must as detailed out above spread out the Session all over the Bhagalpur District including the Bhagalpur town itself. Let the whole District and the town itself resound with ‘Hindu Dharma-ki-Jay’ and let the Hindu Mahasabha propaganda and ideology be preached publicly throughout the districts from hundred platforms during these four days. The Government has banned,—holding any meet¬ings, delivering speeches, taking out processions etc. in con¬nection with the Mahasabha Session not only at Bbagalpur but throughout the Bhagalpur District. Consequently, we shall be asserting our legitimate right of freedom of association and freedom of speech and holding the Session by addressing meetings, taking out processions etc. in any part of the Bhagalpur District just as much as we would have done if the Session was held only at Bhagalpur itself.

One precaution should only be taken that all processions, prabhat ferries, meetings, speeches, wherever they be delivered in the Bhagalpur District, should openly he proclaimed to be in connection with and as an integral part of the 23rd Session of the Hindu Mahasabha to be held at Bhagalpur.
