“ADVICE IGNORED”
GANDHI’SWARNING “NOW BACK NUMBER” NON-VIOLENCE PREACHED (9 a.m.) LONDON, Sept- 29. '.A public, relations, officer at India House says the message from New Delhi in "which Mr, Gandhi was quoted as saying that if there is no other way of securing justice, India would have to go to war with Pakistan was “shockingly misleading.” ■To said- it was nonsense to suggest that a great soul who had devoted his life to- the' promotion of non-violence would threaten Pakistan with war. He gave, what was claimed to be the text of Mr. Gandhi’s statement, as follows: “If there is no other way of securing justice from Pakistan, and if Pakistan persistently refuses to see its proved error and continues to minimise it, the Indian Union Government would have to go to war against it. . “As for myself, my way is different. I worship God, which is truth and nonviolence. There was a time when India listened to me. Today lam a back number. I have no place in the new order. They want an Army, Navy and Air Force and what not. I can never be a party to all that.”
