The Mission Jai Hind Statement that was sent to me had this broad statement of principle as clause 7.1, which I approved, namely:
“All resources within the nation are national resources, available for this mission.”
(1/3)
The published version had a radically different clause 7.1:
“All the resources (cash, real estate, property, bonds, etc) with the citizens or within the nation must be treated as national resources available during this crisis.”
I have not and do not endorse this.
(2/3)
This clause, that has become deeply tendentious with the major changes made without the consent of some signatories, has taken attention away from the many sensible suggestions made in the Statement. (3/3).
