SEQUEL TO RIOTS IN INDIA
POLITICAL REACTION IN PARLIAMENT SHARP REBUFF FOR MINISTERS United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 22, 7 p.m.) LONDON, March 22. The Delhi correspondent of “The Times" states that the Indian Government 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 auauthorities failed to take sufficient precautions to prevent developments arising from a situation which was foreseen for several days. Sir Henry Craik said that the report of the Karachi magistrate showed that the mob did not intend to re-bury the body, but merely inflame the feelings against the 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.
