It is after that that the secretaries of the Provincial Congress
Committee wrote this letter:
"Dear Sir,--It appears that the Secretary of State for India will
very soon make his announcement about the proposed Reforms. It is
in contemplation to hold a special session of the Congress and of
the Provincial Conference after the announcement. We have a duty
to perform. The future of our country for at least a generation
will depend upon the nature of the Reforms. You will therefore keep
yourselves ready to hold public meetings, to attend the Congress
(wherever held) and the Conference in very large numbers and to
fearlessly criticise the proposals if they fall short of our ideal.
We must make a united stand and see that they meet our legitimate
aspirators.
