Temperance Legislation in Bombay (Mumbai)

બોમ્બેમાં સંંયમ કાયદો

બોમ્બે ગવર્નમેન્ટ ગેઝેટનો વર્તમાન નંબર અબકરી એક્ટમાં સુધારો કરવા માટેના વિધેયકનું લખાણ અને તેના પરની પસંદગી સમિતિનો અહેવાલ કેટલાક સભ્યોની અસંમતિની મિનિટો સાથે છાપે છે. આ બિલ બે મુદ્દાઓ સાથે કામ કરે છે: ખેડા જિલ્લામાં મ્હોરા ફૂલોનો સંગ્રહ, કબજો અને વેચાણ અને કોકેઈનનો ટ્રાફિક. કોકેઈન ટ્રાફિકના સંદર્ભમાં, જેને અટકાવવા માટે હાલમાં કાયદો શક્તિવિહીન છે, ખરડો એવા મકાનના માલિક અને કબજેદાર બનાવવાની દરખાસ્ત કરે છે, જેમાં વાહનવ્યવહાર થાય છે, જે કેદ અને દંડને પાત્ર છે, ઉપરાંત દોષિત ઠેરવ્યા પછી ત્રણ વર્ષના સમયગાળા માટે સમાન ગુનાઓથી દૂર રહેવા માટે બોન્ડ ચલાવો. આ પ્રસ્તાવને સિલેક્ટ કમિટીના તમામ સભ્યોની સર્વસંમતિથી મંજૂરી મળી છે. ખેડા જિલ્લામાં લાયસન્સ કે પરમિટ વિના મ્હોરા ફૂલોના સંગ્રહ, પરિવહન, વેચાણ અથવા કબજામાં પ્રવાસ દરમિયાન અને જામીનના મહિનાઓ સિવાય દંડની દરખાસ્ત કરવામાં આવી નથી. મ્હોરા ફૂલો, તે સ્વીકારવામાં આવે છે, વર્ષના કેટલાક ભાગમાં જંગલના આદિવાસીઓના સ્ત્રોત દ્વારા ખોરાકની સામગ્રી તરીકે ઉપયોગ થાય છે. સિલેક્ટ કમિટીના મોટાભાગના સભ્યો ૧૬મી ફેબ્રુઆરીથી ૩૦મી જૂનની વચ્ચેનો આ સમયગાળો નક્કી કરે છે અને તેના માટે લાયસન્સની આવશ્યકતા ધરાવતા બિલની જોગવાઈમાંથી તે સમયગાળા દરમિયાન તેમના સંગ્રહ અને વેચાણને મુક્તિ આપવાનો પ્રસ્તાવ મૂકે છે. આ પૂ. શ્રી લાલુભાઈ સોમૈદાસ સમયગાળો 15 ઓગસ્ટ સુધી લંબાવશે કારણ કે સમિતિ સમક્ષ મુકવામાં આવેલા પુરાવા દર્શાવે છે કે, ખેડા જિલ્લાના મોટા ભાગના સ્થળોએ, મ્હોરા ફૂલનો ઉપયોગ લગભગ તે તારીખ સુધી ખોરાકની સામગ્રી તરીકે થાય છે. આ પૂ. શ્રી ગોકુલદાસ પરીખ અને પૂ. શ્રી વી.જે. પટેલે અસંમતિની એક મિનિટ નોંધી છે જેમાં, જ્યાં સુધી આપણે નિર્ણય કરી શકીએ છીએ, તેઓ મ્હોરા ફૂલોના સંગ્રહ અને ઉપયોગ પર મૂકવામાં આવેલા કોઈપણ નિયંત્રણ સામે સંપૂર્ણપણે વાંધો ઉઠાવે છે.

Congress Will Go When India Attains Freedom - Mr. Patel

"Congress is prepared to give it in writing that it will be dissolved the moment that India attains freedom," said Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, of the Congress Working Committee, addressing a meeting in Bombay to-day.

Once India was free Congress would have fulfilled its mission.

Congress did not seek power for itself, but would be satisfied if the country was handed over to the Moslem League, the Hindu Mahasabha or any other party.

Mr. Patel added that Congress had "offered the British Government its whole-hearted co-operation in prosecuting the war and had urged that the civil administration, including the production of war materials and the supply of personnel for the defence forces, should be handed over to it."

But the Government "did not want India's Co-Operation as a free partner. Under the circumstances Congress had reach the conclusion that British power should be withdrawn fourthwith."

DROP POLICY OF THREATS - Congress Chief's Advice to Jinnah

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, leading members of the Congress Working Committee, in a speech at Bombay advised Mr. Jinnah Moslem leader, to drop his and follow "the constructive path of co-operation."

It was the first Congress reaction to Mr. Jinnah's statement on Wednesday that Congress was organising "a mass civil disobedience struggle."

Mr. Jinnah's threatened "direct action" if it was real. Mr. Patel said, was aimed not at the British Government but at Congress because the British had already made it clear that they had no intention of staying in India.

Denying that Congress had concluded a secret deal with the British Cabinet, Mr. Patel said-"It was Mr. Jinnah who entered into a secret understanding and obtained promises behind the back of Congress. He wanted to form an interim Government without Congress, and failed in the attempt. That is why he is angry."

TODAY THAT DAY : 28 APRIL 1949

BOLD AND MOMENTOUS, SAYS PATEL

REACTION was generally favourable to-day to India's new association with the Commonwealth.

The Indian Congress news paper, "Hindustan Times," said that in a quiet businesslike way the Commonwealth Prime Ministers had made history, not only for their group of nations but for the world.

"If there is genuine co-operation and give and take, the association of a fourth of the human race may lead the way to the redemption of the world from the perpetual dread of conflicts and wars and its transformation into a commonwealth of the human race," the paper added.

Sardar Patel, Indian Deputy Prime Minister, commented "Bold and momentous."

He paid tributes to the "full understanding" shown by Britain and the Dominions of India's attitude and acknowledged their "assistance and co-operation."

"We have all taken this step in hope and with faith in the bonafides of each other. The future will show how far that hope and that faith can be fulfilled." he added.

The Canadian Parliament greeted the Commonwealth decisions with thunderous applause, it was reported from Ottawa.

Other comments were: "Bombay Free Press JOurnal" "Wait and see."

"Calcutta Amrit Bazar Patrika": "A partnership which in no way mortgages India's future."

"New York Times":"It is an historic step, not only in the progress of Commonwealth, but in setting a limit to Communist conquest and opening up the prospects of a wider defence system than the Atlantic pact."

Mr. Herbert Morrison read the India declaration in the House of Commons to-day. There will be no immediate debate on the declaration, which was read merely to get it on the Parliamentary record, writes a Lobby correspondent.

In due course, however, a motion to approve it will probably be moved in both Houses of Parliament.

"CORNER TURNED" IN KASHMIR

RAIDER'S MAIN STRENGTH NOW BROKEN

 

Indian Troops have fought armed raiders near Bagdom, less than ten miles south-west of Srinagar and five miles from the airfield India is using as reinforcement base in Kashmir. "Raider's infiltration tactics against that airfield are reported.

 

New Delhi, Nov 5 - According to New Delhi Radio, Indian Government forces are officially stated to have broken the main strength of the Kashmir raiders says Reuters. The Kashmir Government claimed in Press note that the corner had been turned. The raiders were being steadily pushed back and mopped up in pockets, heavy casualties being inflicted. The Indian Air Force had destroyed much of the raider's equipment. "There is definite proof that Pakistan Army officers are operating with the raiders" the report said.

 

Reliable reports from the North-West Frontier Province said that a Jehad (Moslem holy war) has been

officially declared and that more tribesmen have been seen moving towards Kashmir, "The Times" correspondent says. Raiding tribesmen shunning main roads and swarming down from the hills in thousands, last night launched attack after attack on the airport outside Srinagar, says the "Daily Express" correspondent. The hard pressed defenders held the attacks with long bursts of fire throughout the night. They knew that if the airfield fell their last hope of reinforcements from the Indian Dominion was gone.

As they fought, transport planes came in on each other's tail. Sikh troops jumped from the planes and assembled in battle formation. Thousands of refugees waited to fill their places for the return journey. The Deputy Prime Minister of India (Mr. Patel) and the Defense Minister (Sardar Baldev Singh) arrived by air and conferred on the spot with the head of the Kashmir provisional Government (Sheikh Abdullah) and then flew on to Jammu to meet the Maharajah of Kashmir (Sir Hari Singh).

An Indian Army officer who has returned to New Delhi from Kashmir told the American Associated Press correspondent that the invaders' threat to Srinagar became grave when they developed infiltration tactics against the airfield on Monday night.

Indian troops, through a victory at the village of Pattan on Sunday night, had forced the raiders to abandon their advance along the Baramula-Srinagar road. The raiders broke up and pus their way through to the village of Bagdom and would have gone straight on to Srinagar if Indian troops had not been able to bold them there for several hours.

HEAVY CASUALTIES

 

Indian troops claimed to have inflicted 50 per cent casualties when they engaged a force of 700 armed raiders near Bagdom on Monday night, less than, ten miles south west of Srinagar ad only miles from the airfield that India is using as a reinforcement base.

An Indian communique said that Indian troops were heavily out-numbered but attacked against heavy mortar and machine-gun fire and sustained comparatively light casualties. Air reconnaissance later spotted the corpses of more than 100 raiders.

An Indian Defense Ministry communique said that Indian troops on Monday afternoon, ten miles south west of Srinagar, held the raiders for several hours and inflicted heavy casualties. Parties of armed bandits, were terrorising Srinagar Valley Royal Indian Air Force planes were operatine against the raiders.

RELIEF TRAINS

Another communique said that a shuttle relief of trains during the first three days of November had carried 34,000) Hindus and Sikhs to India from Pakistan and 37,000 Moslems from India. The American Associated Press correspondent says the relief service used nine trains, each carrying between 3,000 and 7,000 refugees packed in and on every inch of space with their belongings-luggage. bedding, dogs, parrots, pigeons, fowls and mongooses.

The British Air Ministry announced today that Royal Air Force Dakotas and York aircraft, working on the relief service for the Indian and Pakistan Governments. carried more than 20,000 passengers between August 15 and October 27. Many flights involved heavily laden planes landing and taking off from abandoned airfields with a minimum of ground organisation.

The Pakistan Government in a statement issued today, accused Indian troops of having opened fire near the Sialkot border on Moslem refugees from Jammu (West Punjab). Home Guards went to the rescue of the refugees and exchanged fire with the Indians. The Pakistan Government also issued a "gazette extraordinary" ordering an non-scheduled aircraft flying over West Punjab to land at Lahore on both outward and homing flights and proceed only after clearance.

EXTERMINATION PLAN

The Prime Minister of Pakistan (Liaquat Ali Khan). in a broadcast today, said that the people of Kashmir were fighting for their freedom and very They had been caught in a widespread plan to exterminate Moslems, he said. The plan had succeeded in all States acceded to India. "Presumably after such an extermination in Kashmir, India proposed to hold a referendum," he continued. "What use is a vote when the voters have been driven from their homes or silenced in death?"

Liaquat Ali said that it was dishonest to present rebellion of enslaved peoples an invasion from outside. India was helping to wipe out the oppressed, enslaved and entrapped people of Kashmir. India had regarded the accession of Junagadh to Pakistan as a threat to India's security.

The accession of Kashmir to India was a much greater threat to the security of Pakistan "We do not recognise this accession." he said. "The choice before the people of Kashmir is freedom or death."

He charged that thousands of Sikhs, on the pretext of being refugees, entered Jammu at the end of September. but they came from East, not from West Punjab, and then "set about the formal business in Jammu and Punch of repeating the horrible drama they enacted in East Punjab."

Referring to reports that "Free Kashmir" troops were armed with modern weapons. Liaquat Ali Khan

said that many of those fighting the invading troops of India came from the 6000 former army men of Punch who were not incapable of capturing arms from their enemies.

The Governor of the North-West Frontier Province (Sir George Cunningham) has refused the request of the Jirga (tribal gathering) of Lower Mohmand tribesmen to go to Kashmir "and save their Moslem

brethren from the tyranny of the Dogra ruler." He told the Jirga to consider the whole m?n.tter without getting excited and assured them that the Pakistan Government would be able to bring about a satisfactory solution of the Kashmir problem.

A Briton, Lieut.-Col. Dykes, was killed on Monday by tribesmen who attacked the convent at Baramula, says Reuters correspondent and apparently lost his life while trying to save his wife. Mrs. Dykes's body was recovered from a well. Their three children are believed to be safe in Rawalpindi.

Khurshid Hassan. the 25-year-old private secretary to the Governor General of Pakistan (Mr. Jinnah)

who on Monday was arrested in Srinagar, was released last night. "My holiday is over, but I can not get out." he said. "I have asked for a plane from Karachi"
