Gandhi-Jinnah Negotiations (September 29, 1944) Emphasising that the proposal to vivisect India had assumed ‘a far more dangerous aspect today when the Gandhi-Jinnah talks are adjourned than it had on the day when the talks began’, Mr. V.D. Savarkar, President of the Hindu Mahasabha, in a statement, appeals to all those opposed to the partitioning of the country to support the Akhand Hindusthan Leaders’ Conference to be held at Delhi on October 7 and 8. Mr. Savarkar says: Mr. Jinnah demands vivisection of India even more relentlessly than before. Gandhiji wants to placate that intolerable demand even more relentlessly than before.

The Indian National Congress itself is indulging in treacherous conspiracies to vivisect the oneness of that Indian nation so as to wipe out the very name of India from the map of the world. When Gandhiji started from Wardha by ‘the Pakistani train’ almost in a triumphal mood, he left orders behind to the country or to the Congress at any rate to keep peace, to have complete confidence in him and not to criticise the Gandhi-Rajaji proposal while his talks with Jinnah continued to find out a way to Hindu-Moslem unity on the basis of handing over to them some of the holiest and cherished parts of India and acknowledging their right to form a separate and sovereign state there. This trick, in fact, was so transparent that it was not likely to dupe any sensible politician. What reliance could there be on the assurance of a
