SENTENCE ON NEHRU
STATEMENT BY MR. AMERY IN COMMONS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. November 7. The sentence passed recently in India on one of the loaders of the Congress Party, Pandit Nehru, was raised at question time in the House of Commons when the Secretary of State for India, Mr. Amery, said that Nehru was prosecuted under the Defence of India rules. He was charged, said Mr. Amery, with delivering speeches in the early part of October of a character likely to prejudice recruitment, stir up disaffection and feelings of enmity between different classes of his Majesty's subjects, and to influence the public in a manner likely to be prejudicial to the successful prosecution of the war. “I have had no official report,” he said, “but I have seen Press messages indicating that Nehru was found guilty and sentenced to four years' imprisonment." In reply to other questions. Mr. Avery said that he had telegraphed for full information on the case.
