Thanks for your letter of the 28^th ultimo. I am endeavoring my utmost revive the Provincial Branch of the Moslem League in Sind and as such I have asked many prominent Publicman to attend the meeting which will, I hope, come off by about the end of this month. I shall be obliged if you kindly ask some other provincial Branch to furnish me with the copy of their by-laws and the constitution which a Provincial League has got to pass. The Rules which you have been kind enough to send to me do not give any information about the constitution of Provincial Branches, for instance, whether we have to create any Managing Committee besides the general body of the League, how many representative we have to elect for the parent body out of the number allotted to the Presidency how many office-bearers are to be elected what will be their designations and what is the membership fee in case of the Provincial League. I shall deem it a favour if you kindly furnish with full particulars at your earliest convenience so that I may act accordingly.

                     As to the invitation to be extended to the All India League, I am to say that it will give us great pleasure if the Parent body holds its session in Sind which is an important province in view of the question of separation which has been agitating the mind of the entire Moslem India. But this invitation is to be extended after the Provincial branch is brought into being. Unfortunately the number sincere and selfless public corker’s into tremely limited in Sind, and requires a lot of trouble to arrange the whole affair. Nevertheless I assure you that we will not lag behind in rendering this place of service.

                             As soon as the first meeting is held I shall run upto Muradabed to see you and discuss the question of holding the session of the All India League, in Sind.

Note for the Brayne Sind Conference by Professor H.B.K Batheja

      We have now reached a stage of our discussion at which all the relevant materials for setting the budget of a separated Sind are available. For the benefit of the members of the Conference and to serve as a basis of discussion, I have prepared the attached statement giving a rough picture of the way in which I propose to overcome the financial difficulties disclosed by the Miles Irwing Report. It will be seen that I have tried to do so, at least, as far as the ordinary deficit is concerned, without the help of a formal subvention from the Central revenues. It will be agreed on all hands that a subvention to an autonomous self-governing province as viualised by the new Federal constitution will be undesirable from every point of view. It is sure to breed a sense of irresponsibility and fin noised extravagance. It is not difficult to see how inefficient the province is likely to be, if it is allowed to milk the cow when come one else is holding the burns. The subvention will be resented by other units of the federation as a burden and probably by the unit receiving it as a symbol of political inferiority and is likely to lead to endless and bitter controversies if an impression is crested that it is being given to satisfy a communal demand.(The case of the North Western Frontier Province stands on an entirely different footing as well know imperial considerations were involved in the subvention granted to it). It is no doubt these facts which induced the Peel and Peron Federal Finance Committees to devise a scheme of division of federal resource which will do justice to every province big and small and insure to each an autonomous existence. They have modified the present basis distribution of income tax with a view to make Bombay and Bengal their way and they have further changed the basis of assessing provincial contribution so as to make Bengal, Behar & Orissa and Assam self-supporting. For wiping out the deficit of the last they have suggested special measures and concessions. I propose similar adjustments and concessions as regards Sind so as to dispense with the nee of a subvention. These are quite justified in law and equity and consistent with the theory of federal finance. Under the Government of India Act of 19-19 all revenues of British India belong to Majesty the King Emperor and are in theory controlled by the Secretary of State in Council. Under section 20 of the same Act all liabilities of any part of British India are a charge on these revenues. In practice, in the interests of efficiency and autonomy, certain revenue have been assigned along with some obligations to the Provinces under the Devolution Rules. There is nothing in constitutional law an usage and in past and present political practice, to prevent His Majesty Government from making changes in these assignment of revenues and functions in the interests of order, justice and good government. The only limits to its constitutional power of interference in this respect are those imposed by the considerations of administrative efficiency and the material and moral well being of the provincial units. As lost as provinces are not independent sovereigns units and the Central Govt retains this power of altering their obligations and their share of the revenues, it is bound to make necessary reasonable adjustments in order to ensure to them adequate revenues for normal scales of expenditure. The situation at present is that His Majesty’s Government having accepted the principle of separating Sind from Bombay, the Central Government after theoretically resuming the functions and revenues and liabilities which it had allotted to the Bombay Presidency under the Devolution Rules, is reassigning them to the two new provinces of Bombay and Sind in accordance with the federal principles governing the devision of functions and financial resources settled by the Round Table Conference. This does not mean that the Federal Structure Committee and the Federal Finance Committee can write on a clean slate and run away from existing facts. But this does imply the power and obligations to make some adjustments necessitated by certain intractable facts e.g. the obligation to cover the “Deficit” of Bengal, Bombay, Bihar& orrissa Assam and if, it is separated of Sind. In reassigning revenues and liabilities to Sind & Bombay, practical rather strictly equitable considerations governing the division of the assets and liabilities of a partnership, will have to be followed and the constitutional necessity of dispensing, as far as possible, with a sub-venation must be borne in mind, considerations which govern the division of assets and liabilities between a member of a joint family leaving the family and the rest of the members as in the case of Burma, need not apply in the case of Sind when the member though setting up a separate house does not leave the family and contributes in other ways to its burdens and obligations, As between Sind & Bombay the head of the family  i.e. the Government of India to whom ultimately all assets and liabilities belong, may decide that the assets should be divided geographically as being the only practicable course under the circumstances, but recognizing the hardship that this may entail on Sind, since it will lose the present and future revenue benefit of its connection with Bombay City where most of the moral and material assets of the President are located it may compensate it by distributing the interest and pension charges of the Presidency in manner, which if it were as single transaction standing by itself strict considerations of equity may not allow. I do not support entirely my Mussalman friends in their claim that the entire debt of the Presidency (including the Sukkur Barrage debt) should be divided between Sind and Bombay in proportion of their contribution to the joint revenue, but I do think that on the above considerations Sind should be held liable only for pensions paid from Sind Treasuries and for the interest on the Barrage debt and on account of the Provincial loan Account and borrowings from the famine insurance Fund. The rest of the unproductive debt on deficit etc and the pre-reform irrigation debt may be taken over either by the Bombay Government by the Government of India, preferably by the former as it stands to gain a great deal by getting rid of the Sind “deficit” of one crore, the burden of which is ultimately thrown on the Government of India. Without this arrangement of separating Sind, the Bombay “deficit” would not be 65 laks as given on page 22 of the Federal Finance Committee’s Report but 165 lakhs and that will have to be met anyhow by other federal adjustments if Sind is not separated and Bombay President is to enjoy an autonomous existence. With Sind, Bombay will not have a surplus of 54 lakhs but a deficit of 38 lakhs even after income tax has been distributed. In this connection I should to explain the confusion which surrounds the use of the word “deficit”. There can really be no “deficit” province as long as the whole joint family i.e. India is financially sound. A provincial “deficit” only means that under given artificial conditions of division of revenue and function certain province has deficit but these artificial condition that Sind will be able to balance its budget and even spend large sums on development of the province without any outside assistance.

     Bombay has in the past neglected Sind inasmuch as that Bombay has not spent adequate sums on the development of the province which would have resulted in the improvement of the financial position of the province. Even Barrage has been launched with considerable delay. Had it been launched 20 years ago Sind would have had a different tale to tell today.

    Public meeting of the Muslims of Shikarpur(Sind) was held at 5 P.M. on the 12^th February 1938 in Jama Masjid, near Lakhi-Gate, Shikarpur, many Muslims were present at the Meeting.

       Khan Sahib Gul Hasan Khan, Retd. Naib Vazir, Khairapur State, proposed Honourable Khan Bahadur Ali Buksh Mohamed Hussain,M.C.S. to the Chair, which proposal having been seconded by Shaikarpur Main Ghulam Mohamed Sahib, Retd. Deputy Collector and unanimously approved by the Audience, the Honourable Khan Bahadur Ali Buksh occupied the Chair.

       After recitation from Holy Koran and preachings on the Unity of Muslims the following proposal was made by the Honble Khan Bahadur Ali Buksh Mohamed Hussain and seconded by Khan Sahib Gul Hasan Khan.

         “It appears that those of our brotheren who are generally out of touch with the Newspaper are unaware of the extent to which the Congress is opposed to the interests of the Muslim Community and of the Congress mentality to ruin the rights of the Muslims whenever such occasion arises. If some few Muslims have joined the Congress, it is simply because they have an axe to grind; and by so doing they have caused many other Muslims to fall into error and thus be misled into regarding the Congress as their representative. This is wrong and the Congress is quite against the rights and interests of the Muslim Community. Had the Muslim League not been established for the cause of the Community and had it not opposed the Congress and exposed the congress maneuvers, the Muslims would have been much worse now and worst in the future. Mostly throughout India, the Muslims have recognized the League as Champion of their cause; and this fact is evidenced from the Resolutions passed everywhere in this connection. It is in the interests of the Muslim Community that the League opposes Congress: and it is therefore that so many Muslims have enrolled themselves as Members of the League. Hence the Muslims of Shikarpur should, in the interests of the Community joint the Muslim League as Members and should safely really on it.

      Having placed this proposal I request the Audience to express their true intention. If they want to join the League, they should send a Resolution to that effect to the League and become its Members.”

    The Audience unanimously passed this Resolution and expressed their desire to join the Muslim League as its Members and prayed for the opening of a Branch of the League at Shikarpur(Sind).

Dear Sir,

              We forward herewith our Statement on the sudden resignation of Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatallan’s Ministry from the office in the Cabinet of the Sind legislative “assembly, and request you to kindly insert the same in your paper at your earliest convenience, for the general information of the public.

Yours Faithfully

M.H.Gazdar,M.L.A.Sind                                Khan Bahadur,

& Member of the Democratic                        M.A.Khuhro, M.L.A Sind&Party Sind.                                                          General Secretary Democratic Party Sind.

A STATEMENT BY MUSLIM BAHADUR M.A. KHUHRO AND MR. M.A.GAZDAR OF THE SIND MUSLIM PROVINCE ASSEMBLY ON SIR GHULAM HUSSAIN ASSINATION FROM THE OFFICE.

We feel we are a duty to the public in apprising them of the true situation which caused the sudden resignation of Sir Ghulam Hussain’s Ministry on 21^st. inst: Those who have been in the know of developments in Sind politics during the course of last one year, must have been greatly surprise of shocked to bear of the sudden and un-expected result of voting in the Legislative Assembly on 18^th March.

             In September, the members of the “United Party” numbering about to agreed to join the Democratic Party headed by Sir Ghulam Hussain, thus naming the new party as Democratic Coalition Party. At the time of merger, it was quite clear that no jobs will be demanded by this group needed by K.B.Allan Bux.A common program was agreed upon, and all the members of the party signed pledges and the programs. By the end of September coalition was completely formed and in early November the working Committee of this new party was nominated by the leader Sir Ghulam Hussain and act of 10 Muslim members of the working committee, three were nominated from the Group of the old united party. The working committee started deliberations for the first time on 9^th December 1937. The meeting continued for three days. The resolutions pass in these meetings were conforms by the full party held on 25^th and 28^th February. The subsequent meetings of the working committee discussed and decided upon the various items of the programme in early March.

             THE CABINET HAS NOT ENLARGED.

    Certain members of the working committee belonging to the old United Party were of the opinion that the cabinet be enlarged and the number be raised from 3 to 6. Thus by increasing the number of ministers,K.B.Allah Bux Leader of the United Party group and Mr.Binchaldas leader of the Hindu Independent group, could have been provided and there by conduced to the stability of the ministry.

               The leading members of the United Party like K.B.Allah Bux and Mr.G.S.Syed however made it clear that they would not defect from the party for at least one year whether the number of ministers was increased or no, and that the ministry would be given a fair chance to give effect to the recommendations of the Working committee. The object of increasing the number of ministers was that three ministers were unable to cope with the heavy routine work and at the same time, to give effect to new ideas and schemes laid down in the party programme.

Loyalty Promised

           Sight up to 17^th perch the united party members clearly declared that they would be loyal to the party and will cause no trouble whatsoever. On 18^th March at 1-30 p.m. eight of these members signee a letter of resignation from the party and handed it over to the general secretary of the Party viz; Khan Bahadur Khuhro at the Assembly Hall. The voting on the remaining items of the Budget was to take place between 3 and 6 that very afternoon. Five members of the ministerial party were absent from Karachi that day and it was not possible for the township of the party to get them at such short notice.

TREACHEROUS ACTION

    Had these United Party members been honest and straight forward they should have at least given notice on the previous day about their desertion and the party strength could have been easily mobilized by telegraphically getting the absentee members to Karachi. So it does not require any elaboration to show that their action was clearly treacherous. It has now transpired that these United Party members had entered into an agreement with the Hindu Independent Party headed by Mr.Mihchaldas on 17^th morning with a view to overthrow the ministry and this fact was kept strictly secret by them.

FLUID ELEMENT

        We are not oblivious of the fact that there is a certain fluid element both among Mohommedan and Hindu member of the Assembly and many small groups within each party and that therefore it was not possible to form a stable ministry for more than six months with only three gentlemen in the cabinet in these days of Democracy the demands of the people are many and it not possible therefore for any three ministers to carry on, however efficient and willing they be to meet all individual requests or public grievances.

                   The defent of Sir Ghulam Hussain’s ministry in snap division by a majority of only one vote any that too under the circumstances enumerate above can not by any fair-minded person be considered a defeat at all. But Sir Ghulam Hussain not possible daily realizing that without enlarging the cabinet it was for him to form a stable ministry resigned his office on list March.

MAY MR.MIHCHALDAS

          It may be realized for the information of the public that at the time of resignation of Gobindram due to his financial troubles in October last, it was decided that in view of the joint responsibility of the Cabinet, it was not possible to offer Mr. Minchaldas a seat in the Cabinet,ne having decline to sign the programme.And this programme was substantially prepared by Mr. G.M.Syed the guiding spirit of the United Party group. This was the reason why Dr. Hemandas who joined the party was selected as Minister. This action was misconstrued by many Hindu members as an act of communalism and therefore later on they refused to support Dr. Hemandas and adhered to Mr. Minchaldas or we may call them left-wingers thought that ministry was not strong enough to fight against the domineering of the I.C.S. Secretaries and the Departmental Heads, so as to bring about a change in their mental out-look on the other hand certain officials thought that the ministry was out to give undue concessions to the Zamindars. All these factors combine with un-expected treachery on the part of these sight members of the United Party brought about this sudden collapse.

Sir Ghulam Hussain’s Ministry’s Achievements

     Those who are out to find fault with late ministry in order to justify the ignoble act on the part of K.B. Allah Bux’s group, should not forget that Sir Ghulam Hussain ministry did a great deal for the people of this province during the short period of less than a year that they were in the office. Some of their achievements are the following:-

a)      The abolition of the Grazing fees from the Revenue fields.

b)     The reduction of 1/3 of grazing fees on bovine cattie in the forest areas.

c)      The abolition of the lease-money on all Non-Barrage lands.

d)     The continuance of policy of liberal Fasili-remnissions.

e)      Entire remission of accumulated interest that is simple Compound and Penal int in Karachi District, kotri taluka of Dadu Distric Rohri Sub-Division of Sukkur District and Daryahiwah of Gooni taluka on takavi loans and the decision to calculate interest at the rate of 6 per cent from the very time the loans were taken and recovery by easy installments spread over a long spell of years.

f)       And the suspension of the later-course charges survey expenses etc., amounting to Corrode runes pending appointment of a committee to go into this question thoroughly and report thereon.

g)      The suspension of application of new settlement rates.

h)     The appointment of anti-corruption committees.

i)        The establishment of the Public Grievance Burearu to put down corruption.

j)        The abolition of the system of collector’s and Commissioner’s Chairs.

  These are no mean achievements and vie with these of any Congress ministry.

Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatallah in an absolute Majority.

                   The above exposition will show that K.B.Allah bux the leader of only about ten member’s followers was called upon by this Excellency the Governor of Sind to form the ministry which he could only do with the help of Mr. Nihchaldas and his ten communalistic adherents. Even with Mr. Nihehalds’ help the total strength of this new party was but twenty followers; whereas the strength of Sir Ghulam Hussain’s party even on the day he had resigned numbered as many as twenty five excluding the Europeon members. Thus he was indisputable leader of the largest single party.

                In the circumstances it would appear a little inexplicable as to why His Excellency the Governor of Sind did not call upon Sir Ghulam Hussain to Form the ministry once more Having reformed the ministry it is not unreasonable to anticipate that he would have got a working majority of 34 to 35 members. For obvious season that the fluid element would then have gravitated to his side.

PUNISTMENT FOR TRACHERY.

  The Congress although not coalescing are supposed not to actively opposes them for some little time. This virtuely means that either the congress group will surrender to this new ministry their vowed principles or that the ministry will completely place itself in the handed of the congress group and act in obedience to their dictates. Such ministry’s deem is clearly fore-shadowed after an inglorious short life. Born of personal ambitions actively assisted by Hindu rank communalism, it will do more harm than good to this province. These conflicting elements that have combined to form the ministry carry within themselves the poisonous germs which will soon destroy its existence and will never as a fitting punishment for its treacherous deeds.
