TRYING TO ARRIVE AT AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT

WITH A VIEW to prevent mis-understanding or mis-representation which I find current in a section of the press as regards the spirit behind the resolution passed by the Working Committee of the Hindu Mahasabha in connection with the Session at Bhagalpur, I wish to make it clear that the Government of Behar as well as the Working Committee have both been trying to arrive at an amicable settlement of the three points at issue. On two of them they have already agreed and the correspondence which is still passing between us may enable us to settle the third also in a way acceptable to all parties concerned. Consequently the press reports and comments which are obviously based on heresay should not be relied upon by the public. The resolution passed by the Working Committee if printed in full is all that should be treated as reliable news in this matter.”
