CONGRESS PARTY'S DEMANDS
Still Insisting On Non-Intervention
Allahabad, Apr. 20. The All-India Congress Parly's working committee to-day went on record reiterating the points of the resolution adopted by the Party on March 18, in which it was cm. phasised that the assurances that Governors would not use their special powers against their ministers, alk though insisted upon, did not contemn plate the abrogation of the rights of the Governors to dismiss their rainis- tries and dissolve the provincial As- semblies when serious difficulties arose between the King's representa- tive and the people's,
Further, it was explained, the re- polution of March 10 did not contem- plate any amendment to the India Act for the purpose of allowing the required assurances of non-Interven- tion to be given. The Committee declares it is advised by eminent jurists that the assurances desired can be given strictly within the Con- stitution.-Reuter.
