§ 56. Mr. FREEMAN (for Mr W. J. BROWN)asked the Postmaster-General upon what ground a telegram addressed by the London branch of the Indian National Congress to Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, president of the Indian National Congress, on 31st January, 1931, was refused transmission?
§ Mr. VIANTThe telegram in question was duly forwarded to India, and a service message was subsequently received intimating that it had been detained under a provision of the International Telegraph Convention which relates to objectionable telegrams.
§ Mr. FREEMANIs it not a fact that the Indian National Congress, being now a legal body, is perfectly entitled to send these telegrams, and was it the nature of the telegram opened that was objected to?
