[by cable—press assn.—copyright.]
LONDON, March 22. ' “The Times’s” Delhi correspondent states: The Indian Government was virtually censured when a motion adjourning the Assembly, in order to discuss the Karachi shootings, was carried by sixty-seven votes to fiftytwo.
The Opposition alleged that the authorities had failed to take sufficient precautions to prevent these developments arising .in a situation which had been foreseen for several days. Sir Henry Craik said that the Karachi. Magistrate’s report showed that the Moslem mob did not intend to r6-bury -the body that was exhumed, but merely to inflame feeling against the Hindus. The Moslem mob had stoned two officials, had overwhelmed tho police, and had actually seized one soldier’s If the soldiers had not fired on the mob, the whole population would have suffered, as did the Hindus in 1927.
