GANDHI AND JINNAH DEPLORE VIOLENT TACTICS IN INDIA
(Rec. 1.15 p.m.) NEW DELHI, April 15. At the request of Viscount Mountbatten, Mr Gandhi and Mr Jinnah issued a manifesto to the Indian people deploring the recent acts of violence and lawlessness that brought the utmost disgrace on India and the greatest misery to innocent people. The manifesto denounced the use of force to attain political ends and called upon Indians to refrain from all acts of violence. This is the first time Mr Gandhi and Mr Jinnah have issued a joint statement. It is officially stated in Calcutta that the police fired one round today when communal rioters attacked a slum area with guns and bombs. Three people were killed and 13 injured in riots today. The police in the last 24 hours arrested 150 persons. A statement from Peshawar says that many fires are raging at Dera Ismail Khan where the communal situation is serious. The authorities have sent police and military reinforcements and have imposed a curfew.
