After recapitulating recent events, Earl Winterton, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, said that the Governor-General, who was specially res- ponsible for preventing any grave menace to the peace and tranquility of India, had decid- ed that he could not agree to immediate and discriminate release of the body of legally con- victed prisoners, including terrorists with police records.
