RIOTING AT KARACHI
BOMBAY GOVERNMENT’S REPORT.
EXONERATION OF THE OFFICIALS.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 8 p.m. Bombay, April 10.
The Governmeht has issued a communique dealing with the investigations into the recent firing by British troops on the riotous Moslem mob at Karachi, when 47 were killed and 134 injured. The opinion is expressed that the Karachi officials made every possible effort to prevent the rioting and that grave danger was averted only by the discipline and steadiness of the troops, who, had they not fired at the critical moment, would have been overwhelmed by the fanatical mob. The Governor of Bombay, Lord Brabourne, discussed the question with the Viceroy, .Lord Willingdon, who con- >,• curred with the Bombay Government’s findings and its opinion that no useful purpose would be served by conducting a public inquiry, as, it would tend further to embitter Hindu-Moslem feel- ’ ings.
