[Letter to Mr Minoo Masani]

Summary

This single-page letter, dated August 8, 1970, is from N. K. Somani, M.P., to M. R. Masani (addressed as “Minoo”). Somani recalls an informal decision that the Swatantra Party should prepare a compendium or summary of work undertaken by its Members of Parliament in the Lok Sabha, Consultative Committees, Select Committees, and other capacities.

The proposed document is presented as both an internal record and an outward-facing resource: Somani argues that it would answer enquiries about the party’s role in the legislature and could be mailed to a large number of friends and well-wishers. He asks Masani to advance the project during his next visit to Delhi.
