so you Si Tens of thousands of political prisoners, press censorship, savage repression, torture, and the state of emergency. All these tactics of the Gandhi regime in India were politely ignored last Saturday by left Labour MPs Michael Foot and Syd Bidwell.

They were attending a Republic Day celebration organised by the executive of Southall Indian Workers Association in conjunction with the Indian High Commission. Southall is notable among the IWAs in Britain for supporting the repression -one of the reasons that the IWA executive recently postponed the elections. They were afraid that opponents would unseat them from the leadership The British Labour Government and its Tribunite apologists are also refusing to take a stand against the repression. What's more, torturers from India's police are being trained in Britain, at Hendon and elsewhere. Indian socialists need tull backin! from the British labour movement - Saturday's picket was a start.
