This Day That Age
The Praja Socialist leader, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, referring to the recent police firing in Travancore-Cochin, said in Allahabad on August 28 that such drastic actions could be justified only in the case of an open insurrection against the State and did not befit a Socialist Government. Governments in free India, he said, must realise the value to be placed on individual life of Indians, and must not fire at them and kill them as if they were flies. Dr. Lohia, who was speaking at a public reception organised by the Praja Socialist Party on his release from detention, said his resignation from the General Secretaryship of the party did not mean that he intended to sever his connections with it. His resignation related to a question of principle that a people's Government should not resort to firing on flimsy grounds. His demand for an enquiry into the facts of the case was to find out on whom the guilt should be fixed so that both the public and the Government might know what the position should be in such circumstances.
