Circular

Summary

This two-page Swatantra Party Parliamentary Office circular, dated July 4–5, 1967, announces the appointment of Mr. R. V. Subramanian as a Research Assistant. Based at the party’s New Delhi office, he is tasked with assisting the Executive Secretary by collecting information on subjects requested by party members and, once granted access to Parliament House, making himself available to members there.
