"The Muslim League, which destroyed the unity of India, is now determined to destroy the very existence of India and of Hinduism. It should be now clear to the meanest political intellect what the game is. Pakistan wants to rid its territories of the Hindu minority anyhow. For this it utilises all opportunities and every sort of machinery, Governmental and non-Governmental. I have no doubt that the periodical riots in Pakistan are carefully staged by the ruling coterie there. The atmosphere is created by propaganda of hate, Having engineered the riot, the same coterie in the Government refuses to take action or takes only nominal action against the perpetrators of barbaric atrocities on the defenseless minority."
