Following the example set by the Calcutta, Karachi, and other branches of the European Association, the Bombay branch has demanded immediate Government action against those who extol political murderers, and advocate defiance of the law. Sixteen Injured

Congress volunteers’ protection of a liquor shop led to riotous scenes in Bombay. Sixteen persons ‘ were injured.
