[Letter to N Dandeker]

Summary

This single-page letter, dated 5 April 1968 and apparently sent from Baroda by Chandrakant Patel to N. Dandekar, requests an emergency meeting of the Swatantra Party’s General Council. Patel identifies the immediate cause as Minoo Masani’s resignation from the party’s National Executive and Central Parliamentary Board.

The proposed meeting is intended to enable the party to close ranks and work together again under the leadership of its respected leaders. The letter is therefore a brief appeal for organisational unity and coordinated party action during an internal leadership crisis.
