December 7, 7.20 p.m.) Delhi, December 7. “Tho time has come for the people of India to attain their independence,” stated a motion unanimously carried by the Bengal Congress. Tho Congress is appealing to the public to prepare for the coming fight. Events throughout India are rapidly developing, and following the Bengal Congress decision, the United Provinces Congress Committee has challenged the Government by authorising Congress representatives in the districts of Raebareli, Etawah, Cawnpore, and Unao to start a, non-rent campaign among the peasants under the guise of championing their rights.
