VIRTUALLY CENSURED
INDIAN GOVERNMENT’S INACTION. INSUFFICIENT CARE AT KARACHI. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Rec. 7 p.m. London, March 21. The Indian Government, sdjrs.the Delhi correspondent of the Times, was virtually censured when a motion adjourning the Assembly in order to discuss the Karachi shooting was carried by 67 votes to 52. The opposition alleged that the authorities failed to take sufficient precautions to prevent developments arising in a situation which had been foreseen several days. ' Sir Henry Craik said the Karachi magistrate’s report showed that the mob did not intend to bury the body agafti but merely sought to inflame the feeling against Hindus. The mob stoned two officials, overwhelmed the police and actually seized a soldier’s rifle. If the soldiers had not fired the whole population would have suffered as the Hindus did in 1927.
