PRAVDA (Cont'd) However, the more reaction rages, the
more powerful becomes the indignation
of the people. The south of India is boiling, and- its eastern
provinces are seething. The newspapers write that the police in
the city of Imphal in Assam Province cposol fire on a student
demonstration and wounded 62 persons, including 50 children and
five women. The city is under martial law, 500 students have
been arrested, and the arrests are continuing.
It is becoming ever more clear that the
leaders of the Indian National Congress Party are not counting so
much on the sympathy of the voters as on the administrative-police
apparatus and the army. In trying to gain a few more votes the
Congress Party members are not squeamish about the means they use
for this purpose. They- are making wide use of the state apparatus,
which is in their hands. The army and navy, for example, have
been forced to give their votes to the Indian National Congress
Party. ^,
With the assistance of the right-wing w^
Socialists, the Congress Party members have secured for themselves
an absolute majority in the new government. However, the number
of defeats of the ruling party in the elections attest to the fact
that the Indian working people have less and less faith in the
demagogic promises of the Congressmen. The people is demanding
deliverance from hunger* poverty, violence, and inhuman exploitation.
The leaders of the Indian National
Congress Party are not experiencing' great satisfaction in the
results of the elections, because they see how insecure their
successes in the elections have been. (Delhi, February)
