THE NATIONAL CONGRESS
MAHOMMEDAN EDUCATIONAL *•**"■ CONFERENCE. LEAGUE FORMED TO PROMOTE LOYALTY TO BRITAIN. Received January 2, 10.38 p.m. CALCUTTA, January 2. The National Indian Congress has closed. Mr Naoragi claimed that the people of India were entitled to self-govern-ment like the United Kingdom or the Colonies. He appealed to Mahommedans to assist, as without a thorough political union self-govern-ment was unobtainable.
Three thousand delegates attended the Mahommedan Educational Conference at Dacca, and decided to form a political league of Mussulmans in all parts of India to promote loyalty to the British Government and advance the political rights of Mussulmans. The Nawab of Dacca declared that the mischievous section of the Indian Congress extremists had made it compulsory to form a league to prevent Moslems being submerged by the enormous noisy Hindoo majority.
