Summary
This one-page resolution, adopted by the Swatantra Party General Council on May 27, 1966, condemns the continuation and intensification of India’s “Control-Licence-Permit-Quota” system. It argues that extending permits, licences, quotas, and related controls across the entire national economy—including procurement and distribution—would deepen a rigidly regulated economic order.
