Sardar Daljit Singh’s appointment

THE following is the text of the Resolution passed by the Bengal Provincial Congress Committee at its meeting on the 27th March against the appointment of Sardar Daljit Singh to the India Council: “That the committee protest the appointment of Sardar Daljit Singh to the Secretary of State for India’s Council; who, in its opinion, does not posses the necessary qualification for discharging the duties of this office. The committee considers that such appointments impair public confidence in the right use of discretion by the authorities and emphasises the necessity of creating an elective system for filling the vacancies in the India Council.”
