NEW DELHI, OCT. 30. The All-India Anglo Indian Association has written to the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, expressing its "deep sense of dismay and disquiet" at the Government's decision to ignore its recommendations while nominating a member of the community to the 14th Lok Sabha. The Association is a 128-year-old national level representative body with the largest membership of Anglo Indians. In his letter to Dr Singh, the President-in-Chief of the Association and former MP, Neil O' Brien, has expressed his dismay over the fact that for the first time a Congress Government had ignored the recommendations of the Association. In the letter, Mr. O' Brien said " the Constitutional provision under which nominations are made — Article 331 — explicitly uses the term `adequately represented.' Can the community be adequately represented if the recommendations if its only nation-wide organisation are not given due consideration," he asked.
