The Prime Minister of India (Mr Pandit Nehru) told the National Assembly that Calcutta Government servants were threatening to begin on April 2 a violent st/w-in hunger strike with political motives, reports the All India radio. % “This challenges the Government,” said Mr Nehru. “It is evidently part of a larger movement essentially political and violent which is taking shape in some parts of India.
