INDIAN PARTIES
MAJORITY IN OPPOSITION TO GANDHI ON NON-VIOLENCE POLICY. FORMATION OF NEW MOSLEM LEAGUE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) LONDON, June 21. According to the Calcutta correspondent of the “Daily Mail,” Maulana Azad, President of the Indian National Congress, in an interview, said that the Congress Party was not demanding the withdrawal of the British Army, but only the withdrawal of British power. It wished to co-operate fully with Britain against aggression against a freed India. He added that a majority of the Congress did not hold Gandhi’s nonviolence view, and would call the nation to arms once Britain admitted India’s freedom, so that the countrymight form an alliance with the United Nations against the Axis. Fazal Huq, Premier of Bengal, proposes to create a rival body to the Moslem League called the Progressive All-Iridia Moslem League. Mr Huq, in a statement yesterday, said the present Moslem League’s _ policy was neither Islamic nor patriotic. It pretended to serve the Moslems alone, but really it was leading even the Moslems to political ruin and disaster. .
