§ 39. Mr. SAKLATVALAasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that Pundit Anandamurti and two assistants, all British-Indian subjects, have been arrested and deported from Portuguese India, and threatened with life imprisonment if they again enter Portuguese territory, for having converted 4,000 Roman Catholics to Hinduism; and whether he will inquire into the matter with a view to having representations made to the Portuguese authorities against this action, in view of the fact that numerous Roman Catholic priests and subjects of Portuguese and Indo Portuguese origin are permitted to live in British India with full religious liberty?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI have no information on this subject, but I will ask my Noble Friend the Secretary of State for India, to make inquiries.
