§ Major POLEasked the Secretary of State for India whether any action has been taken by the Government of India or the local governments to deal with persons responsible for the circulation of inaccurate stories in British India calculated to excite popular feeling among certain sections of the population against the ruling house of Jammu and Kashmir?
§ Sir S. HOAREOwing to the agitation referred to, it has been found necessary to prohibit processions in Sialkot, a town on the border of Jammu. No other special action taken in connection with this agitation has been reported to me, but, as the hon. and gallant Member is no doubt aware, the circulation of inaccurate and tendencious reports regarding the affairs of an Indian State might render their authors liable to prosecution.
