Churchill Charges Jappies Behind Indian Troubles
Prime Minister Churchill told the house of commons that Japanese fifth column activity may have spurred the All-India Congress drive for independence while noting India’s events have generally improved. He downplayed Congress influence and cited 90 million Muslims opposing nonviolence, plus over 1,000,000 Indian war volunteers and 40,000 new volunteers in two months. He rejected a vote on his statement but suggested a full debate later. Dominion status remains Britain’s policy, though immediate constitutional solutions are difficult amid wartime conditions.
