Summary
This September 1965 issue of the Swatantra Newsletter records the party’s response to the conflict with Pakistan, while also presenting its position on the domestic political and economic questions of the period. The opening section supports the government’s military response to Pakistani infiltration but argues that India’s objective should remain limited: securing a peaceful neighbourhood rather than pursuing territorial conquest. It reports Rajaji’s call for continued cooperation with Pakistan after hostilities, stronger defence arrangements in response to China, and a cease-fire grounded in Pakistani acknowledgement of responsibility and a pledge of non-repetition. The issue also describes the party’s cooperation with the government and civil-defence efforts while retaining its role as a parliamentary opposition.
