SAIC Executive meets in Cape Town

South African Indian Congress (SAIC) Executive met in Cape Town and pledged full support to the Passive Resistance launched by the Passive Resistance Councils (PRC) of Natal and the Transvaal. SAIC also decided to send a delegation to New York to assist in the preparation of the Indian case before the United Nations. Ashwin Choudree, delegate of the PRC's of Natal and Transvaal, had already arrived in New York to enlist support of the American people. However, the postponement of the United Nations general meeting to October forced him to return without representing the Indian people at the UN General meeting.
