HC Deb 27 November 1941 vol 376 cc878-9
41. Major-General Sir Alfred Knox

asked the Secretary 0f State for India whether he can give any information regarding the papers discovered on Jai Prakash Narain, the leader of the Congress Socialist Party now confined in jail?

Mr. Amery

I have not yet received copies of these papers, which were recently published by the Government of India. But I understand that they contained plans for the formation of an underground revolutionary wing of the Congress Socialist Party.

Sir A. Knox

Is this the type of prisoner, for whose release there is agitation all over India, whose release would help the war effort in India?

Mr. Amery

That is a different matter.
