[Letter to Piloo Mody]

Summary

This single-page letter, dated September 15, 1970, is written by N. K. Somani, M.P., from Bombay to Piloo Mody, D. N. Patodia, and R. K. Amin. Somani refers to a revised draft of a substitute motion concerning the Fourth Five Year Plan, whose notice had been given by the Prime Minister during the previous Lok Sabha session.

Somani encloses both the revised draft and a text supplied by Minoo Masani, asking the recipients to review them jointly and provide comments as soon as possible. The document records a collaborative parliamentary effort to formulate an alternative motion on national economic planning; it does not itself set out the motion’s substantive proposals.
