HC Deb 10 February 1930 vol 235 c7
14. Mr. KINLEY

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that Mr. D. M. Pangarkar, general secretary of the Bombay Oil Companies' employés' union, has been deported from British India to the State of Baroda; whether he will state the reason for the deportation of this British-born Indian subject; the date on which it took place; whether this deportation was in any way connected with the Meerut conspiracy ease arrests; and whether he will move the Government of India, with the view of securing the cancellation of the order for the removal of Mr. Pangarkar to Baroda, so that he may be free to return to British-India?

Mr. BENN

The action referred to took place in April, 1929. My hon. Friend is mistaken in supposing that Mr. Pangarkar was born in British India. This is a case which I must leave to the discretion of the Bombay Government.
