[Letter from Mr Minoo Masani]

Summary

This single-page English telegram-style office communication, issued on Swatantra Party Parliamentary Office letterhead in New Delhi, asks Masani to have Secretariat staff determine the appropriate procedure for securing a statement of the Government’s position concerning Mrs. Bandaranaike’s letter to Chou Enlai. It specifically requests that the matter include a short-notice question and a calling-attention notice.

The message also asks Masani to review the necessary drafts at 57 Lodi Estate on Monday at 9 a.m. The sender is identified only as “JAIN”; the document has no printed title, date, or formal salutation, and the handwritten circled “2029” appears to be an archival annotation rather than a date.
