[Letter from Mr Minoo Masani]

Summary

In this letter dated 23 May 1972, M. R. Masani replies to Mr. M. C. Zainidar about rumours concerning Masani’s position. He denies having followed a dubious example attributed to “Prof. Ranga” and asks why Zainidar would have allowed such a report to affect his own adherence to what Masani calls “very sound principles.”

Masani also encloses the text of his remarks at the party’s recent General Council meeting, though the enclosed speech itself is not visible on this page. The document therefore records a brief exchange about political rumours, personal conviction, and fidelity to party principles rather than presenting the substance of Masani’s speech.
