I was deeply distressed over your walk out and the whole uncertain behaviour. I had found earlier some uncertainty in your behaviour but there was no unworthiness. But I was surprised to find it now. When I first met you, I was impressed by you. I don't differences of opinion. But because of your behaviour, the degree of regard for you is decreasing. That should not happen. I feel really very sorrow. Please correct me if I am wrong or else I want you to improve your behaviour. |

Your are becoming more and more of an enigma for me. I want you to live up to the certificate once given by Deshbandhu (C.R. Das). He had stated that you are a young man of brilliant parts, singleness of purpose, great determination, and above pettiness. But your behaviour at Calcutta and then again at Lahore grieved me and I felt petty jealousy in it. I don't mind opposition. You should have bravely recognised the necessity of your and your friend's exclusion from the Congress Executive. It was not aimed at you or others. It was only to enable the President to devise measures for achieving freedom in as short a time as possible. O do not want to change your views. I only want you to change your conduct in enforcing the views. |

Enclosed is the draft resolution or declaration for 26th inst. You may cut it or extend it. The shorter, the sweeter. I have been evolving schemes of Civil disobedience. I think Civil disobedience should be offered by me alone or jointly with a few companions on the lines of Satyagraha in S. Africa. Please come here a day or two before the Working Committee meeting or even before 26th. I am anxious to come to grips during the year of your Presidency. It was good that I did not become President for I can work unhampered in finalizing my plans. |
